News Tags

News tags in EnaCast let you organize your station’s news articles by topic. Each tag groups related news items and automatically generates its own RSS feed, making it easy to syndicate content by category.

What Are News Tags?

Tags are categories you can assign to your news articles to classify them by topic. For example:

• Sports
• Culture
• Local politics
• Interviews
• Events

Each news article can have one or more tags, allowing it to appear in multiple categories simultaneously.

Creating a Tag

1. Log in to the EnaCast admin panel
2. Go to the News tags section
3. Click Create tag
4. Fill in the fields:
   • Title: the visible name of the tag (e.g., “Sports”)
   • Slug: the URL-friendly version (e.g., “sports”). This is automatically generated from the title
   • Description (optional): a description of the category
   • Cover image (optional): a representative image for the category
   • Order: a number to control the display order of tags
5. Save the tag

Assigning Tags to a News Article

When creating or editing a news article, you will find a Tags field where you can select one or more existing tags. The article will automatically appear in each assigned tag’s view.

RSS Feeds per Tag

Automatic RSS

Each news tag automatically generates its own RSS feed. This means readers or external systems can subscribe to specific news categories from your station.

For example, if your station has a “Sports” tag, there will be an RSS feed containing only news articles tagged as sports. This is useful for:

• Content syndication: other websites can display only the news from a specific category
• RSS readers: listeners can subscribe to the topics they are interested in
• Integrations: you can connect a tag’s feed to social media tools or newsletters

Tag RSS link

You can find the RSS feed URL for each tag from the admin panel, in the tags list. Each tag displays its RSS link.

News Module by Tag

Tags are also used in modular pages. When adding a news module to a modular page, you can filter by a specific tag to display only news articles from that category.

For example, you can create a page that shows only “Culture” news by using the news module with the corresponding tag.

Best Practices

• Use a small number of well-defined tags: it is better to have 5-10 clear tags than 50 generic ones
• Short, descriptive names: choose names that readers understand immediately
• Always assign at least one tag: news articles without tags will not appear in any category-filtered view
• Take advantage of RSS feeds: share the RSS links of your most popular tags with your audience

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Delete a Tag That Already Has News Assigned?

Yes, you can delete a tag. The news articles that had it assigned will continue to exist; they will simply lose that classification.

How Many Tags Can I Assign to a News Article?

There is no strict limit. You can assign as many tags as you need, although it is recommended not to use more than 3-4 per article to keep the organization clear.

Are RSS Feeds Updated Automatically?

Yes, every time you publish a news article with a tag, that tag’s RSS feed is automatically updated.
