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.
