Social feed

Social feed is a list of latest submitions from chosen social networks usually found on homepage.

The feed currently supports

  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • Twitter
  • YouTube

The settings for the social feed can be found in the Admin panel → Social networks (see image: social_networks_menu.png)

The feeds define accounts or hashtags from which we download the content. Each site can specify the number of entries to download, i.e. 2 from instagram, 1 from twitter, 1 from facebook, 4 from youtube

Cache

The feed uses a 5-10 minute cache, so new entries will not show up immediately

Twitter/Instagram

You can also specify hashtags by which to download the content from Instagram and Twitter

Twitter

Only URL is filled out - Downloads latest posts from the account

Both URL and hashtag are filled out - Downloads latest posts from the account and filters them by the hashtag

example:

Only hashtag is filled out - Downloads latest posts (from any account on twitter) with specified hashtag There is a small possibility of seeing an entry from own account if the hashtag is used very often

example:

Instagram

You can only specify either an account or hashtag. If both are specified, hashtag takes precedence
