Add .mobi export

[aschilling]

Hi everybody,
In addition to the epub export it would be great to support also mobi export. I did some research and found this interesting project https://github.com/raiju/phpMobi. Maybe you can have a look at it and consider using it for wallabag.
Thanks

This is ready in dev version.

I tested the dev version and have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed about the implementation. Don't get me wrong - I'm grateful for the mobi export, but will it be possible to export single articles rather than everything? I noticed that the export also exports the articles which are in the archive. Not so handy if you just want to read a single article on your kindle and accessing wallabag through the builtin kindle browser.

Mobi export can be done on every article, category, tag or even search. It it doesn't, then there's a bug.

Sorry, you need to activate mobi export in inc/poche/config.inc.php

My mistake.

Thanks! Works great.

I will delete the link for mobi/pdf export in config screen when there are not enabled.

I just noticed that the kindle beta browser isnt able to download any mobi-files with spaces inside the filename. This way the files will not be added to the kindle reader. Please change the filename generator so that spaces (or "%20") will be replaced by underscores.

Can you give me an URL which leads to this kind of error to work with ?

I dont know if you have access to any Kindle devices. Its more like a limitation of the inbuilt browser of the Kindle, because it is unable of handling spaces in filenames. I'm using a Kindle Touch Paperwhite with Firmware Version 5.4.2. If you log in to any wallabag instance and try to download the mobi-version of an article with spaces, than a mobi-file like "filename%20with%20spaces.mobi" will be generated. The Kindle Beta Browser says it will be downloading the file, but actually it will not be saved because of the spaces. I generated a mobi-file of an article with just a single word and therefore without spaces in the filename and it downloaded just fine.

Quick note : I don't own any Kindle devices. To view how mobi files rendered I used Calibre, which seems to have rather good compatibility and sometimes I sent myself an email to add the documents at my collection and view it on their mobile apps, so I really don't know how they display on actual devices.

On the subject of having spaces in the filename, I just fixed that.

Thanks! It seems the kindle beta browser also cant handle quotation marks or any other special characters. Maybe you could change the character encoding to something simpler?

[tcitworld]

Now I've limited filenames at alphanumeric characters. Can't think I can do better. ;)

I'm thinking I may cut the filename at a certain number of characters.

Great! Now it works.
