How does SectionFeed work?

When the SectionFeed plug-in is installed and started, it will listen to events sent by the Escenic Content Engine. These kind of event will for instance be created when a new article is created, when an article is added to a new section, when an article get a new relation and so on. This plug-in will only listen to events where articles are added to new sections or new desks.

When an event of this type is sent the SectionFeed look up in a XML-file to see if this a event to act on. If it is, the plug-in will feed the this article to the destination section defined in the XML-file.

Don't worry. You do not need any XML knowledge. This plug-in has an user-friendly interface to create and manage feeds. This interface will be explained in Chapter 3.

There is one special case: what if the article already is in the specified destination section? Then the article will not be added.
