version 1.3.3

What's Included

Social Feed includes an administrative interface where users can enter queries for Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google+, and Flickr. After a query is run, users can preview and approve pulled in content. The BTXSocialFeed class provides several methods for pulling the social content into the front end of the site.

Developer Notes

The BTXSocialFeed class provides a "sync" method that can be implemented in cron to run a scheduled sync of all user queries. A manual sync button is also provided in the admin interface.
