Cross-posting From Feeds

Lamb can be setup with a network of feeds so that external content is periodically cross-posted to your blog.

Although each blog supports only one author, there is no limit to the number of network feeds. Therefore, this feature enables the creation of a group or team blog by subscribing to other Lamb blogs, or can help centralize content from accounts on other services.

All feed types supported by SimplePie are supported.

Setup

To set up feeds, add a [feeds] section to your site configuration at /settings, with one or more entries in the format of name = feed url:

[feeds]
Test Feed = https://vandragt.com/feed

You will also need to call the <your_site>/_cron endpoint whenever you want to check for new content. One of the ways this can be done is by adding a cron job on the server or via an external service that calls this endpoint. It’s not possible to check more often than once every minute, and each feed individually will be cached for 30 minutes to avoid spamming the endpoint.

It is your responsibility to call the _cron endpoint, unlike other CMSes you might be used to.
