[REQ] Pull old/all articles through a source

[b16r05]

This maybe out of scope,...

but, is it possible to not limit the max to 7 days. Retention is 7 days, but I mean, if someone wants to read old articles from beyond 7 days or ALL articles published from a source... is this doable?

This depends on the RSS source. You can easily check it with opening the RSS URL in a browser. Some sources allow fetching more articles with slight URL changing, e.g. WordPress'

But, for example, from this page: https://www.ghacks.net/ghacksnet-feed-list/

If I select a feed link like this: https://www.ghacks.net/category/browsing/firefox/feed/

It will only pull from the last 7 days right? Or, pull and retain from the last 7 days. And delete past beyond 7 days, unless I bookmark it?

What if, I want to pull everything from here: https://www.ghacks.net/category/firefox/, all 142 pages of articles?

wait.

easily opening this feed I see articles for TWO days. I just checked: yes, it is WordPress generated. So the hack works: https://www.ghacks.net/category/browsing/firefox/feed/?paged=2 shows the next page. Editing the feed URL will bring you all the articles you want.

You mean if Flym is set to keep only 7 days of articles? Surely then all your attempts will be erased by Flym itself.

@ildar

So, is there a HOW TO on this?

1. How do I check if a website is WordPress generated? Some websites actually mention Wordpress or have a W icon, others don't.

2. And how exactly is the hack done?
   Adding ?paged=2 brings in only page 2 feeds. What if there are hundreds of pages? How can I get all pages through one entry only, in flym? This is looking like regex/PHP code... is there a way to say "all"?

3. Finally, what about websites that do not use WordPress?

[ildar]

1. Use your intuision and experience. Notice WP in the URL 2. Manually. With just 10 manipulations you get 100 articles. Ok ratio for me. If you're a little more advanced you can automate it in some way. Don't know how to fetch all in one pass. 3. Get one challenge per day. You'll be ok
