There is the ability to syndicate news between organisations. This is where a parent organisation can create a category of news that can then be syndicated and displayed on the child organisations site.
As news articles are added at the parent level with the specified category, they are automatically updated in the news feed on both the parent and child site.
Below are the steps:
1. In the parent site, create a category, e.g. General
For instructions on how to create a category, see: this article
2. Apply this category to the relevant new article(s)
3. On the parent site, add the News Feed widget to a page. Tick on Show RSS icon and select the category you wish to syndicate. Save
4. View the news feed widget on the page. Click on the RSS icon in the top right hand corner of the news feed
5. This opens a new window. Copy the link in the address bar
6. In the child site that will display the syndicated news, add the News Feed widget. In the News Feed Settings area paste the link in the 'Include RSS feed(s).' Seperate URLs with a comma box, Save.
The news will now be syndicated. Each time a news article is added to the parent site and tagged with the specified category, it will automatically add this article to the child sites' news feed.
Syndicate specific news
You can syndicate news to specific organisations. For example, if you are a Netball Centre and want to share General news with all organisations, but also want to send specific news to Schools and Clubs separately, you can do this using categories.
Create three categories: General, Schools, and Clubs.
When syndicating news:
-
To send general and school specific news to schools, select both the General and Schools categories (as per step 3 above).
-
Copy the corresponding syndication link and paste it into the News Feed Settings area for schools (as per step 6 above).
Repeat this for clubs:
-
Select both General and Clubs categories.
-
Paste the club-specific link into the News Feed Settings area for clubs.
