Using the section feed editor

All editing of feeds can be done either by using the toolbar or the right-click mouse menu. The two menus give the same options. Available operations are:

• Inserting an element: Select the element where to insert a new element. Choose which element to insert (feed, source, destination, source-group or destination-group) from the dropdown menu.

• Cut an element: It will be placed on the 'clipboard'.

• Paste an element: Only available if there is an element on 'clipboard'

• Deleting an element: Select the element to delete. Click 'x' on toolbar.

To edit an element just left click on the element, and all attributes will be visible in the edit area to the right.

Icons

Which icons do we have, and do they mean? The usage of al elements will be explained later on in this documentation.

• - feed

• - destination

• - destination group

• - source

• - source group

• - filter

• - placement

Structure

How is the structure? I will try to explain this by using two simple examples. To have a valid feed element, is must contain both a source and destination element.

In the figure above I have created two feeds. In the first there is just three elements: feed, source and destination. As source I have used the section News, and as destination the frontpage.

So when somebody publish an article to the News section, this article will automatically be added to the frontpage.

The second feed is a bit more complex. The feed name special contains a source-group and a destination-group. The groups include must of course also be defined. In my case this is done just above the feed element. I have called my source group AllSports and the destination-group Tech.

Here the same thing will happen as in the simple feed. When an article is added to the Tennis section, it will automatically also be added to the Technology section.
