EnjinNews
Enjin News is a Bukkit plugin which gets news from your servers Enjin website and displays it to players in game with configurable notifications and many other features!
Please Note: This project is experimental because currently the Enjin servers will block access to website content for anything that isn't a browser (which includes this plugin) Until the Enjin API 2.0 comes out this plugin will not function properly as it is highly likely that it will not be able to reach your website
Features:
Commands:
- /news This command will list out the title, author, publication data and article number of the last five posts. It is also the EnjinNews base command for all others, (e.g. /news help)
- /news read This command will download and display the latest news article from your Enjin website
- /news <article number> This command will download and display the respective article
- /news info Displays information about the plugin
- /news help Displays the help message (all the commands)
Permissions:
None at the moment but these are in plan:
- enjinnews.use Groups with this permission will be able to use all EnjinNews commands
- enjinnews.notify Groups with this permission will receive notifications of any new news articles that they have not read
Configuration:
A complete overview of the configuration file can be found at dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/enjin-news/pages/configuration
Donate:

Metrics:
Enjin News sends statistics about the usage of the plugin to http://mcstats.org.

Spigot uses the Bukkit API. If spigot is going to continue to be updated then I suppose I will port it over to Bukkit as well but it seems like spigot is kinda hanging on a thread right now. Ill have to see how things turn out

The plugin came out like a year ago and it took Enjin all the way up until now to update their API. In between that, Bukkit died so i basically abandoned the project with Enjin still not having updated.
I do plan to rewrite the plugin for Sponge once it is a little further along in its development, although i still have to familiarize myself with the API. So I would just wait for the Sponge release of the plugin. Its a little to much work for me to update such an old plugin for a dead API

Posted May 24, 2015I installed EnjinNews and I followed the directions in the config.yml to how to get the RSS Feed link but it says it did not work and it was not the right format.
Enjin API 2.0 Did come out so I don't understand why it isn't working.

Sorry for the late reply, all they told me was that it is still in alpha so they couldn't really make an estimate

Looking forward to the new Enjin API, then :)
I couldn't find any ETA for it... have it been announced yet, when they will be releasing it?

Thanks! Technically it doesn't work yet though because Incapsula, which protects Enjin's servers, blocks any incoming connections unless its a browser. As soon as the Enjin API v2.0 comes out it should be good though.
As for the 404 page it should be /bukkit-plugins/enjinnews/ without the hyphen i'm trying to delete the other project but its being very stubborn :\
