Social Wall

This feature will allow you to create a place in your app where your users will be able to interact with each other.

Since this feature is highly customizable, you can use it as a simple wall of news or as an advanced “FaceBook-like” feature.

Click on  the “Add Pages” section to add the feature to your app:


1. SETTINGS

This is the first screen when you add the feature:

In this screen, you can set the purpose of your Social Wall. Do you want a Facebook-like feature with a map, likes, comments, etc?

  • Nearby: Sort the list of news/posts by distance. The max distance is set by the “Near me radius” setting, in km.
  • Map: Display a map of all news/posts.
  • Gallery: Display all images posted in a gallery.
  • User likes, posts, comments: Just like any other social media, for example, Facebook.

Just below, will allow you to customize the icons in the app. Here are the default icons:

The black one is the selected icon, in the screenshot above it’s the “Posts” section. If it’s not selected, it’s white, like the others. From left to right, there is the “Posts”, “Nearby”, “Maps”, “Gallery” and “Write a post” sections.

Now, let’s say you want a custom icon for the “Posts” section, upload it and click on Save:

Here it is:

Clicking on it will display this message:

The 'TRY AGAIN' button allows you to reload the page, after enabling/fixing the GPS.
