Facebook Topic Configuration

Not Supported

NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED

Support for the facebook module was removed in version 11.7.2.4

To access the Facebook module in Flow, from the Home page, select Content Control > Facebook.

For any topic, you can configure a number of options, as described in the following table.

OptionDescription
Auto Approve Posts?When selected, Facebook posts are automatically approved. Clear this option to prevent automatic post approval. See Post Moderation for further details. 
Save Pictures?Allows you the option of retrieving any picture(s) associated with the posts. By default, this value is enabled.
  • If you never intend to broadcast pictures with posts, clear this option. The net result is an improvement in system performance.
  • If you want the option to broadcast pictures with posts, select this option to ensure that the picture information is available when you need it.
Updates Enabled?When selected, new posts are added as they become available. By default, this value is enabled.
Clear this option to prevent new posts from being added to this topic.
Broadcast Count

Specifies the default number of posts a player, such as BLADE, will take from the approved post queue at a time for broadcast output. Once those posts are output, the player retrieves the same number of default posts, when available, for output.
 
By default, this value is 20. So, a BLADE request would take 20 posts from the approved queue for a broadcast at one time. Once those 20 posts have been output, BLADE returns for 20 more posts for output. If you want a player to return to the approved queue sooner for content, set this value to a lower number. 

Note: If you are manually moderating post content and have not approved new posts, the next output loop will not include new post content.

Rename

Click Rename to rename the currently selected topic. Enter the new topic name and click Save.


Clear All Posts

Flow tries to retrieve in only the latest posts. The Clear All Posts option resets the posts in the topic searches and retrieves all new content. This option can be useful for troubleshooting.

Note: Existing posts saved to playlists are not affected.
