Social Feed for Craft CMS

Display social media feeds in Craft templates.

Requirements

• Craft CMS ^5.0
• PHP >= 8.1
• ext-json

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require elloro/craft-social-feed

Then install the plugin from the Craft CMS control panel under Settings > Plugins, or via the CLI:

php craft plugin/install social-feed

Configuration

The plugin requires an API key for the social feed service. Create a config/social-feed.php file:

<?php

return [
    'apiKey' => getenv('SOCIAL_FEED_API_KEY'),
    'pageId' => getenv('SOCIAL_FEED_PAGE_ID'),
];

Add the following to your .env file:

SOCIAL_FEED_API_KEY=
SOCIAL_FEED_PAGE_ID=

The plugin connects to the API at https://social.elloro.nl. You can verify your API key by making a test request:

export SOCIAL_FEED_API_KEY=your-api-key
export SOCIAL_FEED_PAGE_ID=your-page-id
curl -H "X-AUTH-TOKEN: $SOCIAL_FEED_API_KEY" https://social.elloro.nl/api/social_pages/$SOCIAL_FEED_PAGE_ID/posts

Usage

The plugin exposes a craft.socialFeed template variable with a getPosts method.

{% set pageId = getenv('SOCIAL_FEED_PAGE_ID') %}
{% if items is not defined %}
    {% set items = craft.socialFeed.getPosts(pageId, {'limit': 8}) %}
{% endif %}

{% for post in items %}
    <article>
        {{ post.content }}
    </article>
{% endfor %}
