Hello,

I would like to integrate social media into my website by having a feed of our most recent posts automatically post into a module. What is the best way to do this? Is there an extension that is good to use here?

 

Thanks!

You could do this with one of the all-purpose generic extensions like OpenContent or 2sxc.

Happy DNNing!
Michael

there are a couple of 3rd party news modules generating an RSS feed (features mainly vary by styling/templating options). If you are already using a 3rd party module for the news on your website, check out the documentation.
Some modules include options to share a post on your page on Facebook, Twitter or other social networks.

Not an elegant solution but I just add my TweetDeck to an iframe. Example: https://tlcgis.org/histor...Hunt/Lets-Get-Social

I haven't looked at this for a while, but I'm fairly certain that both FB and Twitter have scripts/plugins that you can use to embed feeds into your website.

Recently Easy DNN Solutions (one of the top vendors) launched: https://www.easydnnsoluti...social-stream-module
demo on https://advantage.easydnn...es.com/social-stream

Yes, it is a bit of money but you outsource all the hassle that comes with updates, maintenance etc.

For embedding social feeds, Tycho's direct plugin links work well for most cases. I've personally used the EasyDNN Social Stream Module on a client site and found it reliable for managing multiple platforms without constant tinkering. Also, on a related note, I run my photos through a PimEyes review occasionally to check where my images appear online, which shows how useful face search tools can be beyond just social media.
