Feeds

Feeds are a collection of Sources and serve as an aggregate for your Posts. For example, you might have a Source for Twitter and Facebook, but you'd like your Posts shown alongside one another in order of their published date. That's where a Feed comes in to combine these Posts.

To get started, ensure you create your Sources first. Then, create a Feed, enabling any sources you'd like included.

Fetching Feed Posts

To fetch the Posts for a feed, use craft.socialFeeds.getPosts().

{% set posts = craft.socialFeeds.getPosts('myFeedHandle') %}

{% for post in posts %}
    ID: {{ post.id }}<br>
    Content: {{ post.getContent() }}
{% endfor %}

Check the Combined Feed

For example, connect two sources used by your organisation, then create a feed with the handle news and enable both sources. Replace myFeedHandle in the example above with news and put it in the page's Twig template. Check that the output includes posts from the intended accounts.

Publish or identify a recent post on one of those accounts and check the feed again after its configured cache refresh. A source represents the connection, a Post represents a fetched item, and a Feed combines items for display. If one account is missing, check that source's connection and content settings before changing the template.
