How get the details (or RAW info) of an article with enclosure ?

[Thomas-AA]

Hi,

is it possible in the nowebengine version. To get the urls of the enclosed documents ? or at the very least see the raw data of an article ?

Thanks.

You mean to display HTML/source of the article? Or the source XML of the whole feed?

Hi @martinrotter , thanks for your extra fast reaction 😱

Yes as workaround if RSSguard nowebengine do not offer yet a way to retrieve the url's of the enclosed content (for the article)
is it possible to see the raw code of the article ? I believe it's XML then. in order to retrieve those url's ? thanks.

It is possible by abusing article filtering feature (Article Filters dialog).

function filterMessage() {
  console.log(msg.rawContents);

  return MessageObject.Accept;
}

Assign the filter to all feeds you are interested in. Then if you run "Test" button, it will print all raw contents of all articles from checked/selected feeds into command line output.

Well, this is highly advanced stuff. I guess I could add the feature. It is true, that WebEngine version has more feature in this aspect than lite one. I will maybe implement it the way so both web backends share exactly same features in this aspect to avoid user confusion.

@martinrotter ,

I've copy/pasted your code and tick a feed.

When I push test it highlight the articles of this feed in the Existing articles tab in green.
in the script output it's only related to the sample article tab..

I see in your script

console.log();

So I suppose the output is not intended to be in the script output tab but rather in the RSSguard console. But how display it ? I've searched console in https://rssguard.readthedocs.io/en/stable/search.html?q=console&check_keywords=yes&area=default but this didn't help me.

Thanks.

Well You can display console:

Main menu -> About > Show application log

It is non-modal dialog, so open the log first, then go to article filters window and do your thing

[martinrotter]

Here is sample screenshot of how it looks when article raw contents is printed to log.

Thanks again @martinrotter I've found the console (shame on me, it's was so easy: help -> Display application log.

So your trick work. but it certainly not the best to work with. ( of course it's a workaround )

Cheers
