Add custom code to your page

Many third party services such as YouTube™ or TeacherTube® provide embed code for objects like videos that are posted on their sites. This code normally includes code for a player as well. You can use this code to insert or embed the video and its player onto a page in your site. This is helpful for creating assignments where the students are required to answer questions while viewing a video. You can embed the video on your page so the students can complete the assignment without ever navigating away from the site.

Add Social Media

Add social media feeds and posts

Incorporating social media on your website is a great way to share what's happening throughout your district.

Like the web itself, a lot is changing with how you access data in social media platforms. Many platforms require server-side authentication to retrieve data, so for social media integration in WCM, you must use the widgets provided by each platform.

Social media widgets, plugins, and embed codes

Before you can embed social media feeds to your site, you need the proper widget, plugin, and embed codes.

Add the widget, plugin, or embed code in the Embed Code app

  1. From Site Manager find the page you want and edit it.
  2. Add the Embed Code app to your page.
  3. Edit the Embed Code app.
  4. Paste the social media widget, plugin, or embed code in the Embed box.
  5. Select Save.

If you have Social Media Framework, you may be able to add one or all of these social media elements to your apps in the App Options. Whether you can add a particular element depends on which settings and elements your Site Administrator has enabled. Site Administrators may enable RSS feeds regardless of whether or not you have Social Media Framework.
