Universal Content Puller (c5.6)

Universal Content Puller is now available for concrete5 v8+

Universal Content Puller provides a simple unified interface to pulling in content from many sources including other pages, other sites and RSS feeds while providing an enhanced and unified infrastructure:

  • Common caching of sources
  • Recursively nest sources (e.g. stacks within stacks)
  • Share block templates across all sources
  • Format lists
  • Borrow templates from other blocks using wrappers
  • Manipulate the text of pulled content
  • Easily plugin further sources
