RSS & Atom content feeds
Use Copernica to keep your newsletter and website content up-to-date. Simply insert a content feed and your newsletter or webpage always contains the latest information. With Copernica it's just as easy to publish your own feeds as it is to publish external content.
Content feeds
websites use feeds for instance to continuously publish the latest headlines. You can also
publish your product catalogue using feeds. RSS
and Atom feeds are examples of
popular feeds.
A content feed is a collection of articles in standard
XML format, which can be published through
various media. Because content feeds are managed from one central point, articles are easily
updated. Publications based on content feeds are therefore always up to date. News
Publish feeds
To publish external or self-made feeds using Copernica is quite simple. By adding a small piece
of Smarty code to your webpage or e-mailing you can insert any feed you like. Feeds do not
contain any styling. Copernica adds minimal styling elements, which can be changed using a
CSS stylesheet. By editing
the XSLT "translator" you can change the
complete lay-out to suit your needs. XML knowledge is required.
Your own feeds
With Copernica you can do more than just publish external feeds. It's very easy to
create and publish your own feeds. Use these feeds for publishing news items and other
dynamic content like your latest super sale offers. You can publish a single feed
through various media channels. It takes only a few steps to create, publish and manage
your own feeds.
External content
Copernica Marketing Software offers an extensive content feed module to deal with external
content. Already got a database filled with publications, got a content feed based CMS
system, want to publish news items in your mailings? Using Copernica you can insert
any feed to your mailings and websites. Adding external content is no trouble at all.
Publish feed
- {loadfeed feed="feed_name" xslt="xslt_name"}
- {loadfeed feed="http://feed_address" xslt="xslt_name"}
Surveys
With Copernica you create a new survey in just a few steps. A survey
behaves just like content feeds: they're created separately from the website, just like feeds
they can be published on multiple webpages and you can adjust the styling and lay-out using
stylesheets and/or XSLT.
Web forms
In Copernica your websites are easily extended with web forms.
Web forms behave much like content feeds and surveys. The are published without any styling
on your webpage. Using stylesheets or XSLT you can do simple or more extensive styling and
lay-out adjustments.
Content feeds
With a single click you can create a new content feed and adding new articles is just as simple.
The author's name is saved automatically and the articles are easily classified into
self-specified categories. This information can be used when publishing feeds. Articles can be
easily edited and their status changed to (in)active. Content feeds can be published on websites
and in e-mails.
Insert content using Smarty code
- {loadfeed feed="feed_name"}
- {survey name="survey_name"}
- {webform name="web_form_name"}
