02 - How to submit a feed
In order to submit a feed to AgriFeeds, you need to create an account on this website.
- Once logged in, click on "Contribute" in the "Account" menu.
- Select the type of content you want to contribute either a "news" or "event" feed. For feeds, be careful to select the correct type: please only select "Feed of events" if your feed complies with the following: - RSS format (1.0 or 2.0 or Atom) extended with the elements outlined in Event AP.
- Once you have selected the type of feed, fill the form with all the necessary information. The most important information is the URL of your feed, the name of your organization and the categorization (the "Categories" section). Filling these fields correctly guarantees that your news items are properly stored and retrieved in the system.
- On submission, the feed (and the news or event items therein) will not be immediately visible, as it will be published only after approval.
- If you see an error message upon submission, please make sure that your feed is valid (validate it with the Feed Validator) and if the feed is not approved and visible in a few days feel free to enquire about the problem with the AgriFeeds administrators.
More details about errors- If you submitted a feed and when you edit it you see that the URL is not saved, it means AgriFeeds did not recognize the XML file at the URL you provided as a valid feed. See if your feed appears under "Problem feeds" (in the "Monitor" section of the right menu, only visible if you are logged in).
- If you submitted a feed and you cannot see the items from your feed, this could mean one of the following: a) the feed has not been approved yet: check if your feed is among the "Pending feeds" (in the "Monitor" section of the right menu, only visible if you are logged in); b) AgriFeeds could not parse the RSS file at the URL you provided. See if your feed appears under "Problem feeds" (in the "Monitor" section of the right menu, only visible if you are logged in): in this case, read our guidelines carefully as regards accepted formats and mandatory elements.
