Create a Feed readable by any News aggregator (tested for Sitools2 v2.4)¶
In order to notify the user (who subscribed to the Feed) about any new/modified News item, the Feed should be readable by any News aggregator (responsible for creating the alert).
For Sitools2 v2.4, a Feed is compatible with any News aggregator if its News items are created following these rules:
- if a thumbnail/icon is included in the News, use its absolute URL in Image
field;
- if the Feed contains more than one News, do not use the same URL in the Link
of the different items. Actually, it is better to leave Link
empty for all the items, and embed the link directly in Description
.
Use HTML syntax to style the text and create active links.
An example of the creation form (left) and preview (right) of a correct News item is shown below:
