Is there any drupal plugin or code that allows you to read from an external RSS feed (lets say cnn.com/rss) and insert the content posts into the drupal database as content nodes开发者_StackOverflow社区?
I need this to be automatic. Meaning regularly updating the Drupal database every time a news post on cnn.com takes place.
Yes, the Feeds module is used for this. From the project page:
Import or aggregate data as nodes, users, taxonomy terms or simple database records.
- One-off imports and periodic aggregation of content
- Import or aggregate RSS/Atom feeds
- Import or aggregate CSV files
- Import or aggregate OPML files
- PubSubHubbub support
- Create nodes, users, taxonomy terms or simple database records from import
- Extensible to import any other kind of content
- Granular mapping of input elements to Drupal content elements
- Exportable configurations
- Batched import for large files
