Usage¶
Setting up social feeds¶
From the Wagtail CMS settings menu you can access the ‘Social feeds’ section. Add social media sources by defining the social media platform, the user to track and define if it’s has to be moderated or not
Moderated feeds¶
When a social feed is marked as ‘moderated’ by default the latest posts of that feed are not visible to the visitors of your website. All posts have to be explicitally allowed before it will show up in a feed.
All moderated social feeds will show up as a new item in your CMS admin menu. From there you will have an overview of all the latest posts, search through the posts and add/remove posts from the moderated list.
Social feed blocks¶
You can also render the latest feed posts by using a SocialFeedBlock
in your StreamField
.
Make sure you define the SocialFeedBlock
as allowed block-type in the StreamField
:
Styling the blocks¶
You can override the default template by creating a wagtailsocialfeed/social_feed_block.html
in your templates directory.
All items are available in the {{ feed }}
variable.
