Automatic News Update
anut - March 7, 2008 - 20:33
Hi there,
We're looking to convert our website over to Drupal - we're currently in the stages of messing about with it, making sure it does exactly what we need it to do, etc..
Our website is a news website, and the majority of our content comes from various newswire services.
What I'm wondering is this: Is there a module available that will pull in all the content from the newswire's XML feed that will create a page, pull in all the text and the title, etc?
I came across the 'aggregator' thing in Drupal - but it doesn't appear to create pages for the content.
If anyone can help me with this, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks for your time
Adam
This is the syndication
This is the syndication category for contributed modules for Drupal.

I have not looked too much into Drupal's feed support, so sorry I can't help you more.

Framework, but no module
If you're looking to pull NewsML or NITF into Drupal as regular nodes, the Feed API module provides a framework but there is not a complete solution. See http://groups.drupal.org/newspapers-on-drupal for further discussion.

While only available up thru Drupal 5, review and consider the following modules in conjunction to produce the aggregation, news page u are seeking:
1) aggregator(core) -- to aggregate all your desired news feeds.
2) aggregation(contributed module-requires curl; php 5 on server) -- aggregates feeds by title, teaser, full body, etc...)
3) news page(contributed module)- allows u to setup/display page of "filtered" news, by aggregator category.
These (3) in conjunction, provide the complete solution that u are seeking. I am not currently aware of another solution for this purpose, however, I reserve the right to be wrong and not fully informed. But, because we were needing something similar, my own search was pretty exhaustive, but I did not identify anything else on a complete solution basis.
Hope it works for u
Perhaps you are looking for
Perhaps you are looking for something called Leech, but that is not going to be supported for Drupal 6.
FeedAPI and Feed Element Mapper maybe useful for your needs.
Here is a screen cast about Feed Element Mapper
