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



Feeds and Copernica



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"}



Content management in Copernica



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"}
