Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
We have a website with a custom CMS that was built on Zend Framework.
This website pulls in the company's latest news articles from a single RSS feed.
We need people to be able to enter an email address and then receive an email alert every time a new article comes in via the RSS feed.
*Full brief:
- Send an alert to a subscription list at Campaign Monitor when an RSS feed is updated. The alert should contain the date and headline of the new article.
- The solution should be a PHP script that can be run as a cron every 5 minutes.
*Resources:
RSS feed: http://cat2.bestex-quotes.co.uk/ir/indiacapital/newsXML2.php Campaign monitor API: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/api/
*Further Details:
- The list of recipients will already exist in campaign monitor, but the list ID should be a variable within the script.
- The date and headline of the article will be variables sent to campaign monitor, which get transposed into the email template at send time.
- Sending the email will involve creating a new campaign, using a predefined HTML template, setting the subscriber list and then actually sending the email.
- The system should also keep a log of activity, the log file path should be configurable.
*Example email:
Dear [firstname],
On [date (i.e. 1st April 2012 at 14:02)] COMPANY NAME published a new article, titled [headline]. To read this
publication please visit http://domain.com/news/article
-------
This needs to be written properly, hack job procedural code will not be accepted. Please bid accordingly.
Thanks.
