Hello Paula,

Yes, and it is already activated by default unless you did turn it off. You can find the articles app in EasySocial's application listing and edit the app. Ensure that the options are enabled for the stream and you are good to go

Hi Mark,

I can't find an app called articles. Is it perhaps called something else?

I think I found it. Its called article I guess?

It seems to be switched on but not working.

We have an extension which runs on a cronjob and scrapes articles based on google news keyword searches via rss.

The extension is producing articles which are populating the site content however no mention is being made of the articles on ES?

Am I doing something wrong

Hi there,

It seems that you have disable "Stream Filter" as shown http://screencast.com/t/eeJvot9hnY. By the way, i have enabled it for you and it should shown now. I have created a new test post on your site and it shown correctly on your stream as shown http://screencast.com/t/9VKrhlBhagGL. I have deleted my test post on your site. Please advice.

Hi Abdul,

Im looking at this now and I suspect the problem is with my understanding of how its supposed to work.

I can see that overnight the scraper has created a number of articles for example:

http://www.screencast.com/t/9xYDw3zar

However i cannot see any reference in any stream that refers to any of these articles.

The articles are attributed to user "whee" however there is no evidence of them on that users timeline.

Hi there,

I can see that overnight the scraper has created a number of articles for example:

Correct me if i am wrong, is it all articles created last night not shown on your stream? if yes, it wont shown on your stream as those articles are created before you enabled "Stream Filter" on your backend>EasySocial>Application. In order for them to shown you have to recreate them again. Maybe you can test first creating a new article on your front end and see how it goes. Please advice.

If not, maybe you can explain more thoroughly regarding this issue.
