Before you begin: Live Feeds produces blocks, which must be enabled in layouts. Working with blocks requires an architect level role.

The Feed content type is part of the Live Feeds module, a custom module developed by Web Services.

The Feed content type provides easy integration with several standard OSU feeds:

  • OSU Drupal Announcement Feeds
  • OSU Event Calendar Feeds
  • OSU WordPress Feeds
  • University News and Research Communication Feeds

Once a feed is entered into this content type, the Live Feeds module takes over, creates a custom, configured block, and then the block displays a very nicely styled format of whichever feed type has been consumed.

To learn more about this content type and module, please refer to the Live Feeds technical articles.
