00:00 hey everybody joe here and today i'm
00:02 really excited to introduce you to the
00:04 new feed stack
00:05 so feeds allows you to integrate
00:07 external data into your websites now
00:10 that data can be all kinds of different
00:13 standard web formats
00:15 csv rss json and databases
00:19 and i'm sure we'll have even more data
00:21 add-on packs coming in the future
00:24 so
00:25 once we get that data we can then take
00:28 that and apply it to a templated layout
00:32 so that we can actually dynamically
00:34 create content based on that data
00:36 directly on our web pages
00:38 let's have a look so let's have a look
00:40 at the feeds demo
00:42 so here at the first demo we have a full
00:45 online store
00:47 that's fully functional
00:52 now this particular online store is
00:53 built straight from a csv file however
00:57 the data source doesn't really matter
00:58 because the data can be applied
01:01 to your layout
01:05 here we're defining as you see special
01:07 colors we're bringing in icons we have
01:10 buy now buttons we have data about each
01:12 product
01:14 the next demo is we have a menu this is
01:16 going to be a very popular use case
01:19 for feeds the ability to create a menu
01:22 straight from an external data source
01:25 here we have an entire full-blown
01:27 gallery
01:29 built directly
01:30 from a csv file
01:32 and lastly here's a great layout that
01:34 you can use for an employee directory a
01:37 team directory things of that nature
01:40 now really these layouts just scratch
01:43 the surface of what you can really do
01:45 with feeds
01:46 essentially you can supply any data
01:49 it doesn't matter what and you can
01:51 imagine any layout you want and you can
01:54 build it and just basically apply that
01:56 data each record
01:58 from the data source will get applied
02:01 to the template and replicated on the
02:03 page
02:05 let's dive into wrap up and see how easy
02:06 it is to use
02:08 so let's quickly have a look at that
02:10 online store here i'm supplying a feed
02:13 it doesn't really matter in this case
02:15 i'm using a csv data but it could really
02:18 be from anything it could be json it
02:20 could be from a database it's really it
02:22 really doesn't matter
02:23 because feeds take care of taking the
02:26 data and standardizing it in a way so
02:29 that it can apply that data to the
02:31 layout that you build
02:33 so in this particular layout uh i'm
02:36 building out a block grid so here i am
02:39 using the foundation six block grid
02:42 and now while
02:43 feeds doesn't directly have anything
02:45 special to do with foundation the way
02:47 foundation is built it really is
02:50 flexible and allows you to really build
02:53 complex layouts with feeds very easily
02:56 it's just the way that foundation is
02:58 architected that it works really really
03:00 well with feeds
03:01 however you can use it with any other
03:04 stack out there um it just might get the
03:07 flexibility and the power that the
03:08 foundation six layout stacks give you
03:12 okay so here i have a block grid
03:14 and then inside there i added a feeds
03:18 and essentially feeds will for every
03:20 item inside that csv file or for every
03:22 item in that data
03:24 it's going to replicate this block grid
03:26 cell
03:27 so in this case i had nine different
03:30 online store items and what it's going
03:32 to do is going to create a
03:35 cell in my block grid for each and every
03:38 item
03:39 so here i have my block grid cell here i
03:42 have a css box that actually puts in the
03:44 color
03:45 here we use these easy to use macros to
03:48 inject the data so here i have the name
03:50 the summary
03:52 inside this button we have the buy now
03:55 button or the link to buy now to add it
03:57 to the cart in here the picture we have
04:00 the url to the image
04:02 for more details check out our templates
04:04 video but for right now just so you can
04:06 see
04:08 i just built this with stacks
04:11 and feeds is taking my data and it's
04:14 applying that data and gonna replicate
04:16 it for every record in my layout
04:20 it's very cool
04:22 so hopefully that gives you a good
04:24 glimpse of what feeds can do for you and
04:27 i didn't even touch on the filtering
04:29 that feeds can do the sorting the
04:31 limiting of the data so if you only want
04:33 to show a certain number of records you
04:35 can filter based on dynamically from the
04:37 url as well which really gives you a
04:40 powerful very powerful component by
04:43 dynamically filtering a feeds grid by
04:45 passing data to the url this kind of
04:48 gives you if you're familiar with total
04:49 cms blog list the ability to filter your
04:52 blog list and the ability to have like a
04:54 blog post page by passing a permalink or
04:56 an id or something unique about a
04:59 particular piece of record to create
05:01 that post page
05:03 right
05:04 so feeds is super powerful
05:06 it can integrate with pretty much any
05:09 data source out there that is standard
05:11 on the web
05:12 and i'm really excited to see what
05:14 you're going to build with it please
05:15 make sure that you share what you're
05:17 doing on the community so we can all see
05:19 and learn and grow with each other so
05:21 take care have a wonderful day enjoy
05:23 feeds and go out there and make
05:24 something great bye"}]
