For #2, you will have to create an RSS feed thru a generic handler(.ashx file), and link the icon to it.
Or you can use a free service such as addthis.com which allows your users to post your article to twitter, facebook, google, rss feeds, and other mediums.

I'm a little new to web dev and coding so forgive my basic question..
I'm working as a sales and marketing consultant for a software company. The company has requested i create a mailchimp campaign linking to a landing page on wordpress, with downloadable e-book for subscribers. I'm having difficulty with this; does anyone have a recommendation or solution to integrate/automate the two?
To be more concise, there's three actions required: Sending the campaign (Mailchimp), redirecting to the landing page (Wordpress), and then downloading E-Book AFTER subscribing (Wordpress). All these actions have been completed; I just don't know how to automate/integrate the actions together.
i realize it's not a coding question per se, but I assume some coding may be needed.
Thanks :)
P.s. I searched for a similar question but to no avail. If there is one, please link the answers :)
Have you tried the mail chimp plug-in?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/mailchimp-for-wp/
-Good luck [:
I have had to create a similar workflow, below is my process.
Create a list on mailchimp
within this list, in the forms tab, create a form to get name and email info of people wanting to download your Ebook
open 'embedded forms' in the same list and copy the HTML code
Using the Bloom plugin connect mailchimp and wordpress.
selected the mailchimp list you want to connect
select 'custom HTML form' and paste the code
make final aesthetic changes to from
Bloom will give you a 'shortcode for the optin' which can be copied into a black wordpress page. (this will show your form)
Create a landing page on wordpress
standard page nothing special but link to you wordpress page with your form
Set up automation on Mailchimp that whenever someone signs up to your list they get an email with a link to the Ebook.
That's the overview, with many learning opportunities along the way ;)
I am new to RSS/Atom feeds and there are a couple of points that I don't quite understand from doing some basic research.
Firstly, how do I tell if a website has an RSS/Atom feed? I can't see an icon for it on the website but is there anything else I can look at that will give me an indication that there is a feed?
Secondly, if there isn't an RSS/Atom Feed, is it going to be possible to create an RSS/Atom feed that will always be up-to-date without being a webmaster of the site? I am essentially wanting to use an RSS/Atom feed to get web pages that have products that are going to be resold on another website. Is this going to be possible if these pages aren't already in an RSS/ATOM feed? I know there are tools that allow you to make an RSS Feed of any webpage but I believe you have to re-do it if any content changes.
Thanks for your time.
To find out if a site offers an RSSAtom feed, use feed auto-discovery.
No, if you're not the publisher of the site, you can't publish an RSS feed which is consistently up to date.
So a company I'm working with gets mentioned in the media from time to time (BBC & other big news sites).
Is anyone aware of fees / licenses we will need to use the content that BBC etc provides using OpenGraph and post that content on our site?
So essentially we want a little card on our site with the page title, OG image, URL and possibly the description, when the user clicks this it will open the original page/link on the original source site.
I can't see too much info out there other than sharing on facebook, not using OpenGraph on our site.
Can anyone share some knowledge? Cheers!
If I get your question correctly, you want to retrieve posts on the BBC site, scrape the information and show in your own site, right?
Does the site of BBC, and possible others, provide a feed where you can subscribe to? In that case, you could monitor that feed for any mentions of your company.
Alternatively, you can use one of Facebook's partners that use the Keyword Insights API. There you can set up monitoring for your company name and integrate with their API.
I am using simplemechine forum script(SMF) old version(1.1.6).
I want to rss to my facebook page.when
I search in google,the rss type for my forum is
http://example.com/index.php?action=.xml;type=rss.
This rss link is only work in old version IE.This rss link is not work with firefox,chome,lastest broswer and facebook page.
Plsase help me how I can get rss link for my forum.
Sorry for bad english.
First of all you should consider upgrading your forum because of security risks.
What you need is to auto post your forum topics to your facebook page/profile?
If is that what you need you can use a 3rd party website that provide this kind of service.
The one i use and recoment is http://twitterfeed.com/, where you can automaticly post all your forum updates to twitter AND facebook.
About your RSS URL, the default feed of SMF forum is really /index.php?action=.xml;type=rss wich will display ALL updates of your forum, including new topics, and new answers to topics. You can freely manage this feed type to show only new topics, or only topics from one determined category, etc. Good Luck.
Sorry for noob question. I'm mobile software developer and I haven't seen wordpress dashboard.
