Feed Posts

The feature we call “Feed” is our answer to social-media style content embedding in Pakk sites.

What can I do with Feed?

  • Create Instragram-like posts with an image and text

  • Link Feed Posts directly back to users from any social network

  • Create “call-to-action” buttons on posts linking to any category, post or product on your site

  • Organise Feed Posts with hashtags

  • Create a page for your entire feed

  • Create individual pages for posts with a particular hashtag

  • Embed individual Feed Posts into content blocks

  • Embed multiple Feed Posts into content blocks, either manually or by hashtag

What are some creative uses for Feed?

  • Create an image gallery featuring your shop, warehouse, team, recent event etc.

  • Create a visual customer testimonial gallery

  • Create a product showcase

  • Create a visual case-study gallery featuring past projects or customers

  • Repost your social media content (Instragram, Facebook, Twitter etc) to create your own custom feed

  • Curate and repost social media posts in which you are mentioned or hashtagged (with the permission of the original poster)

Creating a Feed Post

  • Go to Web > Feed > Create New.

  • Select an image from your media collection, or upload a new one.

  • Enter some body text for the post.

  • If you’d like the post to appear with a social-media style username, enter it.

  • If you’d like that username to link to an external profile or bio page for the original poster, enter that link here.

  • Enter any number of hashtags for the post.

  • If you’d like to encourage any particular action for viewers of the post, create a CTA link with custom text, e.g., “Purchase this Product” could link to the product detail page if the post feature a particular item.

  • Choose a publication date either now or in the future if you’d like to delay publishing.

  • Web enable the post and choose which sites you want it to appear on.

Feed Post Pages

  • The main feed page is available at /feed (or equivalent for non-English sites).

  • Feed pages for particular hashtag collections are available at /feed/{hashtag}.

  • Use links to these pages wherever you would normally use links in your sites, e.g. header menu, footer menu, markdown text, CTA buttons.

Feed Post Feature Blocks

  • A single, or multiple, Feed Posts can be embedded into a Feature Block and therefore used anywhere Feature Blocks are used, e.g., on the homepage, on landing pages, on product pages.

  • When creating or editing a Feature Block, choose from block types: “specific feed posts” or latest “feed posts”.

  • For “specific feed posts”, manually select one or more posts you’d like to feature in the block.

  • For “latest feed posts”, choose the maximum number of posts to feature and whether you want to draw from all recent posts, or only those with a particular combination of hashtags.

  • Once you’ve created the Feature Block, use it in any Feature Block “slot”.
