Identify the Region and Block being Used

To determine where the Facebook feed will be placed on the homepage, the specific region and block currently being used need to be identified. To do this:

  • Open the desired homepage in Cascade CMS.

  • Click ….More and select Show Regions.

The regions of the page will be displayed. The Facebook feed should be inserted in the News region using the fb-feed block, this is where it will be highlighted.

  • A live preview of the feed will appear on the page.

  • Scroll beneath the live preview and click on Get Code.

  • From the code that appears, select and copy the code from Step 2 (see below). This is the <div> embed code that will be used to display your Facebook feed on the homepage.

Replace the Source Code in Cascade CMS

Now, the copied Facebook <div> embed code can be used to replace the existing code in the appropriate block within Cascade CMS:

  • In Cascade, click on Assets and navigate to the block that needs to be edited. For example, if editing the fb-feed block, navigate to this.

  • Click on the appropriate block, in this case fb-feed, and then click Edit.

  • Click on the <> Source code button in the WYSIWYG

  • Locate the previous Facebook <div> embed code.
