News & RSS

The News & RSS module turns your announcements into articles: written in Markdown, published to Discord, with a public page and an RSS feed your members can subscribe to.

Articles tab

Writing an article

The Create an article button opens the editor, with a live preview.

Title (required): for example Update v1.4.0.
Category and Subcategory (optional): these organise the article like a newspaper section. Kotbo suggests Update, Patch Note, Announcement, Blog and Staff.
Image URL (optional) and Short summary (optional).
Article content (required), in Markdown.

Publishing

Publish immediately makes the article public and triggers the notification. Otherwise it stays a Draft.
Discord sending mode:
- Summary + link button to page: a short message pointing to the public page.
- Full embed + public page: the whole article inside Discord.

This choice applies both to immediate publication and to publishing a draft later.

Browsing

The table shows the Article, Category, Author, Pub. Date, Status and Actions columns. A search by title, summary or author and a category filter complete the view.

The Forum view groups articles by category then by subcategory, mirroring how a forum is organised.

Feeds & Channels by Category tab

The public RSS feed

The feed is generated dynamically from published articles. Your members can subscribe from Feedly, Inoreader or any RSS reader. The copy button puts the link on your clipboard.

Creating a section

A section pairs a category (and optionally a subcategory) with a Discord broadcast channel.

Name the section

For example World, Tech, or a sub-section like API.

Pick the broadcast channel

Articles in this section will be published there.

Save the section

It appears in the Feed Index with its channel and its dedicated RSS.

Each section gets its own public feed, readable independently of the general feed.
