About

mcRSS is an ingame RSS reader for bukkit. It allows you to view or show individual topics that are in the RSS feed. There are various uses for this plugin:

You can use it to view your favorite RSS feeds ingame
You can use it to show or view new topics on your forum

mcRSS was originally designed to work for Drupal Taxonomy. But is now further developed to work for other feeds aswell.

About me

I'm a Dutch developer. This is the first plugin I will publish. Mostly I made plugins for myself.

Installation

To install mcRSS:

Download mcRSS.jar
Put mcRSS.jar into the root of your plugins folder
Start your server, mcRSS will generate the config file
Goto plugins/mcRSS/
Open the config.yml And rss.yml file with your favorite editor
Edit the settings, more information is given in the file
Once you finished the configuration reload or restart your server

Commands

mcRSS uses commands to view RSS feeds, or to control the plugin. However we are working to find a way to show the text in books.

Commands can be found on this page

Permissions

Each command and argument has its own permission in mcRSS. Use a permissions plugin to who may use certain functions , and who can't

Permissions can be found on this page

Configuration

mcRSS has a config.yml that will be created after the first load. Also a rss.yml file will be created to store RSS feeds. The default file contains 4 example feeds

Configuration can be found on this page

Updating: When a configuration file is updated as well , the old one will be overridden by the newest version

FAQ's

Can I add my own RSS feeds?

Yes, in the config file you can add / remove any RSS Feeds

How many feeds can I add?

mcRSS is limited to 128 RSS feeds to prevent crashes

Does this work on normal HTML pages?

No, mcRSS uses RSS XML files to gather the data

How to add RSS feeds to my Drupal forum?

To add RSS feeds to Drupal, you have to install the module Taxomony. This will create a little RSS icon at each page. You can right click on it and select "Copy link url" and paste it into the config file.

Does this works with 1.5? You may could add a GUI which shows a newsticker in the topleft corner of the screen

Does the URL give an error in the console: "ERR: Unable to download URL!" "URL: xxxxx.xxxx"

If yes, then plz wait for the new version made for 1.4.7. It will give you an error of what is going wrong.

Added error message when feeds cannot be downloaded (f.ex 404 403 errors)
MAYOR: Removed © symbol in config, as on some machines (mostly linux) it can cause problems

It's the standard Shoutcast RSS feed, it requires a password to access in the address. Could this be the issue? I can PM you the link if you require it.

I managed to fix the problem. The copyright symbol in the config and rss YML files is not valid. You need to remove that.

I created a reader called "radio" but when I do "/rss reader radio" I get "Unknown feed given! Available feeds: radio".

Any help? :)
