Display Feeds to major Social Networks

: Joel Lipman; Web-Development; 16 May 2016; Hits: 3913

What?
A quick article on how I displayed feeds from the company's social network pages in one page.

Why?
There are 3rd-party apps that let you do this, some paid, some not. This was for a staff portal so I wanted this at no extra cost. This is read-only so actual editing of the feed would be done on the respective social network's site.

How:
This simply displays the feed... (no write back)

Facebook
Replace https://www.facebook.com/myfacebookpage with your facebook URL and replace My Facebook Page with the title of your facebook page.
(You may need to specify the app in the Facebook developers tools but this may be for the write-back version).
