1Articles behind a paywall
2=========================
3
4wallabag can fetch articles from websites which use a paywall system.
5
6Enable paywall authentication
7-----------------------------
8
9In internal settings, in the **Article** section, enable authentication for websites with paywall (with the value 1).
10
11Configure credentials in wallabag
12---------------------------------
13
14Edit your ``app/config/parameters.yml`` file to edit credentials for each website with paywall. Here is an example for some french websites:
15
16.. code:: yaml
17
18 sites_credentials:
19 mediapart.fr: {username: "myMediapartLogin", password: "mypassword"}
20 arretsurimages.net: {username: "myASILogin", password: "mypassword"}
21
22.. note::
23
24 These credentials will be shared between each user of your wallabag instance.
25
26Parsing configuration files
27---------------------------
28
29.. note::
30
31 Read `this part of the documentation <http://doc.wallabag.org/en/master/user/errors_during_fetching.html>`_ to understand the configuration files.
32
33Each parsing configuration file needs to be improved by adding ``requires_login``, ``login_uri``,
34``login_username_field``, ``login_password_field`` and ``not_logged_in_xpath``.
35
36Be careful, the login form must be in the page content when wallabag loads it. It's impossible for wallabag to be authenticated
37on a website where the login form is loaded after the page (by ajax for example).
38
39``login_uri`` is the action URL of the form (``action`` attribute in the form).
40``login_username_field`` is the ``name`` attribute of the login field.
41``login_password_field`` is the ``name`` attribute of the password field.
42
43For example:
44
45.. code::
46
47 title://div[@id="titrage-contenu"]/h1[@class="title"]
48 body: //div[@class="contenu-html"]/div[@class="page-pane"]
49
50 requires_login: yes
51
52 login_uri: http://www.arretsurimages.net/forum/login.php
53 login_username_field: username
54 login_password_field: password
55
56 not_logged_in_xpath: //body[@class="not-logged-in"]
