Embedding a View on an External Website using Anywhere Apps
If you have content on your View that you want to also have on your brand's website, blog, or other site besides your Facebook tab, you can do that by embedding your View using Anywhere Apps.
In Content & Apps, you can generate a code that you can then place in your website, which will put an iframe of your View on the site. This will be a live version of your View - if you publish a change to your View in Content & Apps, the embedded View will also show that update.
Note: Your View must be published, or it will not display on the external site.
Generating the Embed Code
To generate the code, first go to the View you want to embed. At the top of the page, under the View's title, you'll see a text link labeled "Embed".
- Click the Embed link. A dialog window will open.
-
Select a Facebook app from the Select a Facebook app drop-down menu. This app will not only power the embedded view, but its name will also appear on the Share dialog when you Share a module from the embedded View.
Note: Since the name of the app appears in the Share dialog, you may want to the app to have a custom name. To do this, you'll need to create a custom app. Click here to see instructions on creating a custom app and adding it to Content & Apps.
-
Enter a Share URL and Share Title. The Share URL and Title will appear on the Share dialog. The Share Title will appear in the dialog as the first text below the comment field. If a user clicks that text, they will be taken to the URL you specified as the Share URL.
Note: For certain modules, the module name that originally was set will appear in front of the Share Title you specify here. Those modules are: Causes, Events, Feeds, Polls, and Quizzes.
-
Once you have entered the Share URL and Share Title, click Generate. Your code will be displayed for you to copy and paste.
