News RSS Feed 1.0.3

this plugin displays the titles from your websites RSS feed to your players when they login as a message of the day.

• Your players can look up the items at any time by using the /news command.

Possible Future Additions

• New command to force the RSS feed to update (added in 1.0.3)
• Permissions (not sure why you would want that, but why not). (added in 1.0.2)

Download

• News.jar – The plugin itself
• Source Code – Source Code repo on GitHub.

Change Log

• V 1.0.3: Added the ability for the console or a player (with the permission node news.update) to force the RSS feed to update.  Seem to have fixed the problems with java 6 compatibility
• V 1.0.2: Added an info and infoOnJoin property to the config.yml which allows you to have a more info type dialogue before the news is displayed (which can be toggled on and off for the onJoin with the infoOnJoin property).  I also adjusted the way that the message is sent to the players.
• V 1.0.1: The prefix in the chat can be changed through the config.yml prefix property
• V 1.0.0: Initial release, what you see is what you get.

Command

/news – This displays the items from the RSS feed that were downloaded by the last update (this does not force an update).

/news update – Allows the server console or anyone with the permission node news.update to force the RSS feed to update.

Permission Nodes

• news.ignore – Makes it so that a player does not have the MOTD appear upon joining the server.
• news.update – Allows the player to force an update of the RSS feed (defaulted to op)
