Error when adding date to titles in recipes
Hi! I am a complete newbie, so please bear with me if I am making any silly mistakes.
I am trying to customize the built-in recipes by adding the date to the title. By following the instructions in the Calibre manual, I added "import time" and put " + time.strftime('%d %b %Y')" in the title line (these are the only changes I made to the recipe). So the recipe looks something like this: Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python __license__ = 'GPL v3' __copyright__ = '2008, Kovid Goyal <kovid at kovidgoyal.net>' ''' economist.com ''' from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe from calibre.ebooks.BeautifulSoup import Tag, NavigableString from collections import OrderedDict import time, re class Economist(BasicNewsRecipe): title = 'The Economist' + time.strftime('%d %b %Y') Quote:

Use
from calibre import strftime rather than time.strftime |

Hi, can you tell me what I am doing wrong in the below script? I believe I followed the explanations above. I am trying to make the title show as follows: The Economist - 2012 Dec 22. In the recipe I changed only the below line:
title = 'The Economist - ' + from calibre import strftime('%Y %b %d') |

You need
title = 'The Economist' + time.strftime('%d %b %Y') |
