# Mautic RSS to E-mail

## [Description](id:description)
The Mautic RssToEmailBundle is a Mautic plugin that allows you to generate e-mails from a RSS-feed.

### Purpose
Send out an e-mail with for example to latest posts of your blog.

### Compatibility
This plugin has been tested with Mautic versions 2.x, 3.x and 4.x.

### Features
* Set the number of posts you want to display
* Create a custom template for the items in the feed
* Use images from the feed
* Format dates
* Reverse view

## [Installation](id:installation)

1. Download the plugin from github
2. Move / Upload folder to the plugins directory. Name the folder `MauticRssToEmailBundle`
3. In the Mautic GUI, go to the gear and then to Plugins.
4. Click on the "Install/Upgrade Plugins" button
5. You should now see the "Rss To Email" in your list of plugins.

## [Usage](id:usage)
Use the "code mode" slot of the froala/grapejs e-mail editor. In the content of the slot set to following content:

```
{feed url="<>"}
{feeditems}

{feeditem:title}


{feeditem:date format="d-m-Y H:i"}


{feeditem:description}



{/feeditems}
{/feed}
```

This should give a basic setup to start with.

### The following tags can be used in the {feed} block:

* `{feedinfo:title}`
Returns: title of the feed

* `{feedinfo:url}`
Returns: url of the feed

* `{feedinfo:description}`
Returns: description of the feed

### The following tags can be used in the {feeditems} block:

#### Optional param:
* Batch mode

By default batch-mode will be enabled. This means that the feed-tags will only be replaced once per batch. When you disable batch-mode, the feed will be parsed for every single e-mail. So if you have a list of 1000 addresses, the feed will be requested 1000 times. Because of the high number of requests in a short timeframe it could cause the server where the feed is on to go down. *So handle with care!*

`{feed batch="0"}` - Will DISABLE batch-mode on the feed.

* Count
`{feeditems count="3"}` - Returns only the first N items from the feed

* Offset
`{feeditems count="3" offset="2"}` - Skips the first N items from the feed

* Reverse
`{feeditems reverse="1"}` - Returns resuls in reversed view

* Shuffle
`{feeditems count="3" shuffle="1"}` - Returns results in shuffled (random) view, can be used in combination with the `count` parameter

__Merge tags:__
* `{feeditem:title}`
Returns: title of the post

* `{feeditem:link}`
Returns: link to the post

* `{feeditem:content}`
Returns: summarized content (desciption), when description is not available it will return the full content

* `{feeditem:content_full}`
Returns: full content of the post

* `{feeditem:content_text}`
Returns: summarized content (desciption), when description is not available it will return the full content. Tags are stripped.

* `{feeditem:content_full_text}`
Returns: full content of the post stripped of tags

* `{feeditem:description}`
Returns: summarized content (desciption) of the post

* `{feeditem:date}`

* `{feeditem:author}`
Returns: author name of the post

* `{feeditem:categories}`

* `{feeditem:image}`
Returns: url of the image. Will check the enclosere and media tags of the xml.

* `{feeditem:custom:KEY}`
