You can also import content from different sources automatically via content sources. Depending on your settings, new external content will be added to your app automatically.
Types of Content Sources
Content sources are designed to make automated publishing in your apps easier, allowing to easily integrate different types of feeds in your apps.
- In the left menu > Advanced > Content Sources > Click "+" icon to add a content source
Configuration
Select one of these source types from the dropdown list:
- RSS/Atom feed: content from just about any web site, Drupal, Wordpress, etc.
- YouTube Channel: a list of videos from a YouTube channel
- YouTube User: a list of videos from a YouTube user
- YouTube Playlist: a list of videos from a YouTube playlist
- Vimeo Channel: a list of videos from a Vimeo channel
- Vimeo User: a list of videos from a Vimeo user
- Vimeo Group: a list of videos from a Vimeo group
Enter the required information (feed URL, YouTube channel ID, etc.) and a refresh interval that determines the update frequency for the content.
Furthermore you can define the collection where you want to add the feed, the item style that will determine how the feed will be displayed in the cell, and you can select from a number of predefined templates for styling the content of an imported RSS entry.
Some content sources have a maximum amount of items that can be imported.
E.g. :
- YouTube will let you import the 15 most recent movies only.
- Vimeo has this number limited to 10.
If your channel, user or playlist contains more than 10 or 15 videos, you will need to upload the remaining ones manually.
After saving the Content Source, this entry will appear in the Content Source page. By selecting the Content Source item, one can enable, disable, manually refresh or delete the Content Source.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
"Automated Content Sources" is an extra paid option.
