You can import data to the current RSS feed from HTML, CSV and
XML files. The importing process consists of two steps. The first
step is common for all file types – select the file that will be
used to import data to Feed Editor. The second step varies.
HTML file
You should specify the parts of the source code of the HTML file
that will be used as identifiers. The beginning and end of the feed
area and the beginning and end of each item). The Item title, link
and description will be determined automatically.
For example:
Start Feed String: “<html>”
End Feed String: “</html>”
Start Item String: “<p><br>”
End Item String: “</p>”
CSV file
If the CSV file has been successfully read, the step 2 controls
become enabled. Using the dropdown lists, you should select the
columns, data from which will be imported to the corresponding
fields of the RSS feed. If you want the feed item to be created
only if all fields are filled, mark the “All Fields are Required”
checkbox.
XML file
You should specify the parts of the source code of the XML file
that will be used as identifiers. The beginning and end of the feed
area and the beginning and end of each item)
For example:
Start Item String: “item”
Title Field: “title”
Description Field: “description”
Link Field: “link”
Enclosure Field: “enclosure”
Note. If for some
reasons, you cannot open an XML file in a standard way in Feed
Editor, you can try to import the data from this file using the
Import Wizard. Moreover, this functionality can be used to open
Atom feeds.
