This is how you create your RSS-Feed that you can use in our Digital Signage Platform
We offer a multitude of widgets capable of displaying your custom RSS feeds, but these RSS feeds need to adhere to certain specifications to display correctly in the widget. If your RSS feed does not behave as you expect it to you can check this page on what we expect of a feed.
For the specifications we follow the official specifications of the RSS Board. The full specifications can be found here: https://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification
Basic structure:
In this explanation we will speak of tags. These are the elements found in the rss feed between < and >. For example <rss> and <channel>
A RSS feed must always start with an <rss> and <channel> tag. Each news item will be included in an <item> tag.
For example:
News items:
The information we display in the widget we retrieve from each <item> tag in the RSS feed. We look for the title in the <title> tag, the text in the <description> tag and the image in the <enclosure> tag.
For the best result the title and description should only contain the plain text of the news item. Any images, additional tags and links in the message will be ignored.
For example:
Correct:
Incorrect:
The image of the news needs to be located in the <enclosure> tag. We do not support videos and if there is more than 1 image we will use the first image.
Below is an example of how to include an image through the enclosure tag:
The type needs to be correctly set to an image type and the url needs to contain the full address of the image to be displayed.
