Personal I want to create an automatic news sending system, someone has an idea how to do it, using the standard elgg news library
This one from here https://github.com/iionly/news
the news would automatically come from somewhere else and would have to be posted
info@elgg.org
Security issues should be reported to security@elgg.org!

You must log in to post replies.I can't give you a working solution but I can only suggest a starting point that might be of some use: RSS Import plugin (https://elgg.org/plugins/1090220). As I understand the plugin description (haven't tried it myself) you can pull posting from other sites via a rss feed (which the other site would have to provide) and add then on your site. This can be done either manually or in an automatic way controlled by a cronjob. Two things would require some work though: first, the plugin hasn't been upgraded for Elgg 2 so it's quite likely not fully working (or not working at all) without some changes in the code. Secondly, the plugin would allow to add the external posting right now only as a blog, bookmark or page entry but not yet as a news item. As the news plugin is based on the bundled blog plugin this should be not too difficult to achive.
I can't provide any further help though. So, you would have either getting it working on your own or you would have to hire a developer.
