I'm glad to hear you've found the site useful, but no, I'm afraid there's no way to automatically remove pagination from sites. It would be possible to write scripts to retrieve that content, but it would have to be on a site-by-site basis. That's not a direction in which I want to take the tool, I'm afraid.

Hi there, I've been using this site and have found it extremely useful.

However, it doesn't seem to work when the original article is presented on multiple pages. For example, I tried the New Yorker rss and there wasn't any problem with shorter articles, but the longer ones were only retrieved for the first page.

Is there a way to automatically get the rest of a multi-page article?

Dear Tom! Thanks for

Dear Tom!

Thanks for Cyrillic! It works now!

BoD: As you might imagine, the algorithm relies on clues within the feed to extract the full text of the entry from the the actual page. One of the most important of those clues is the RSS entry text, which is assumed to be present on the page. In cases like this IBM feed, where the feed text is simply an RSS-only summary of the content, the algorithm will fail.

Any idea why I get "full

Any idea why I get "full text retrieval error" for this particular feed: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/portal/PortletStateInfo/spacejsp/tp.js...

Maybe it is the use of CDATA inside the link tag?

Thanks for your help.

Very interesting but I get full text failed message when using google news rss? I want full text on my smartphone so it can download automatically in the reader and not force me to go to websites which are too slow to render on the phone browser.

Great work! Congratulations!

Great work! Congratulations! I've been checking for days a solution like this one. Thanks for your fantastic work!

Hey NX, sorry about that -- we moved some things around today and it affected the tool. Everything should be fixed now, though -- please let me know if you continue to have problems with it.

Awesome tool - I've been using it for the last few days.

BUT.... not sure if it's just me, but it's not working anymore.

I get the following error message:

"XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'http://labs.echoditto.com/projects/fulltextrss/?url=..."

It would be great if you could get it up and running again.

I know this because I've known quite a number of people who have done this sort of thing and it was theft. He didn't give them a working credit card so odds are he wanted something for free or little cost.

Tom -

I'm working on an application that allows me to compile large amounts of text from RSS feeds and save it all to a .txt file. I'm writing applescript to help me do this. Could I look at your source code to see if I could implement something similar?

Thanks,

Andrew

Tom — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 08:57:07 -0700

Cyndy: you're welcome to email me about the problem at the address mentioned above. But you should note that this service is known to not work with every blog or character set, and isn't supported in any official way. So the odds that your difficulty is going to be resolved are fairly low, I'm afraid.

Found a weird bug. Please

Found a weird bug. Please email me and I can show you the issue. Don't want to post it out in the open due to the blog I wanted to use it on. ;)

Hello Tom, This is great

Hello Tom,

This is great script that I can see. I love your codes. I would appreciated if could get a copy of this via my email.

Thank you very much for great share

I apologize for the

I apologize for the limitation, Oleh. Unfortunately PHP (and in particular PHP4) is quite bad at handling extended character sets, and I have no plans to resolve the situation.

If anyone would like to volunteer to work on improving unicode support (or porting the algorithm to a more unicode-friendly language), I'd of course be happy to share the source.
