Portal Posts enable you to quickly and efficiently publish dynamic, partner-focused content and updates, such as company news, blog posts, and event registration pages, to your partner portal pages. You can stream relevant content to different Partner Views by tagging your Posts with Topics and adding partner filters.
These Posts are made visible by adding one or all of these items on the partner portal:
- The Portal Posts feature page
- A Posts Dynamic Content widget on your portal homepage or in a Custom Page
- A Portal Posts Merge Tag (Text-Only List)
You can specify if posts should be available to logged in users only, or broadcast them to all visitors to your portal, even if they're not logged in.
What’s the difference between Posts and Pages? Pages (Feature Pages and Custom Pages) are the framework of the partner portal and are intended to be used for more long-standing or static content. Posts are intended to be used for more regular or time-sensitive updates. Using a combination of Pages and Posts can significantly reduce the complexity of your partner portal views.
For example, if you have company blog posts you’d like to share on your partner portal, you can add a Posts Dynamic Content widget that only pulls in Posts tagged with Blog to your partner portal homepage. Then, every time you create a Portal Post tagged with Blog, it will automatically stream into the partner portal homepage where the Dynamic Content widget was added.
You can create content for Portal Posts in two ways:
- Create the post and its content in Unifyr One
- Create the post and link it to an external content source, using the Content URL property for the post
Unifyr One provides the option to translate your Portal Posts into multiple languages. For more information, see Translate a Portal Post.
Before You Begin
Before you begin creating Portal Posts, review and manage your Portal Post Tags/Topics under Tag Management. You can also access the Portal Posts Topic/Tag Manager by navigating to Partner Portal > Posts > ... > Manage Topics.
Topics categorize your Posts. They can help you stream relevant content to the partner portal and allow your partners to find content relevant to them. By default, you have three Topics already available for Portal Posts:
- Announcement
- Blog
- News
You can add more Topics as required. For some examples, see Examples of Portal Posts Tags.
