How plugin works
You create streams in Flow-Flow admin and inject them in any block on any page of your site. Plugin has special compact mode for narrow blocks like sidebar. When stream is shown first time, it’s got cached (takes more time for initial caching but then it will show blazingly fast) and rest of visitors see this cache for cache lifetime. So for example if you have set 20 min cache and 10000 users visit your site within these 20 min, it’s only one time plugin will request API to pull data, for the rest of time users will see cached data almost instantly. Considering that server runs cache renew task in background it guarantees plugin’s amazing performance. Check how to update cache in several ways on your PHP server on this page
Design your stream
Flow-Flow provides a great flexibility on design customization of your media streams. Select your layout from mansonry, justified gallery or one-height grid. Build your card with help of drag&drop builder. Style social cards and the whole stream fast and easily. Even your grandmother can do!
How multiple feeds work
First of all you can create unlimited Flow-Flow streams on your site. The magic thing is that you then add as much social feeds from one or different social networks as you want. For example, you want to include in one stream 3 twitter accounts, 1 twitter hashtag, 2 google+ accounts and 5 facebook feeds. No problem! Here is a visual scheme:
Filter
Filter is optional feature of Flow-Flow. If you would like to use plugin with complex streams this feature could be handy.
Requirements
- You need to have jQuery version 1.7 or later on you PHP server.
- Server PHP v5.3+.
- Some network API can require secure connection to send data so your server should have SSL certificate installed. In the most cases SSL is provided by hosting. We use private APIs because it’s more secure obviously, no one sees your secure data (tokens etc) on client side and these APIs provide more possibilities for streaming.
If you don’t have SSL check this article to consider free and lowcost options.
Next networks require secure connection: Twitter, Facebook, G+, Instagram. - Grid engine is pretty resourse heavy and using latest technologies so some devices (eg. low-end or old models) can struggle displaying grid especially when being combined with another heavy scripts on page
