## Description

CustomXML uses a custom taxonomy to create rss feeds that can be utilized by Exact
Target or
 other services.

This plugin creates a custom xml feed, formatted to be usable by Exact Target or
other any
 other service that relies on information from RSS/XML feeds.

Activating the plugin adds a custom taxonomy called “Email Tags” to posts. This 
custom
 taxonomy is utilized by the plugin to generate custom endpoints for rss 
feeds. “Email Tags” are custom tags that appear like any other archive in WordPress.
However, custom layout settings can be applied on the plugin settings page to customize
the length of the feed, the size of the images in the feed, and the length of the
content in the feed.

_Note about images:_

 * Because of the nature of image sizes, I will not add functionality to go back
   and resize
    all images for the correct categories. If you need to change it and
   go back to change image sizes, try the [Regenerate Thumbnails plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/)

Right now, this is limited to just “posts”. However, to add it to additional post
types,
 create a new filter on ‘CustomXML\tag_post_types’ to and add the custom 
post types to the array.

The plugin also creates a custom excerpt that can be used to override the default
grabbed
 by the feed. Rather than using a portion of the content to generate the
description, it will use the custom excerpt, if it exists. Otherwise, it’ll pull
an excerpt from the except, and finally from the post.

The format of the feed is:

    ```
    ``
    ```

 Title of the Post
 Permalink to the Post Associated Image URL Story Description

 “

Feeds can be located at

 1. Base: `example.com/?feed=xtxml`
 2. Custom Email Tag: `example.com/email-tag/email-tag-slug/?feed=xtxml`
 3. Other taxonomy: `example.com/category/category_name/?feed=xtxml`

**Upcoming**

 * Create setting to choose which post types the taxonomy should be registered with.
   Accessible
    currently only by using a filter (‘CustomXML\tag_post_types’).
