Announcement
Drupal Cloud’s news importing feature now allows you to pull (or import) news from any Drupal Cloud site into your own website’s news listing.
Expansion of Imported News
Last year, the Web and Digital team piloted the expansion of imported news. Previously, sites could only import articles from News from Brown. Now, you can import and display articles from any Drupal Cloud site.
For example, if you find a relevant story on the School of Public Health website, you can import it to appear in your own website's news listing.
When you import news, it appears on your site but links to the original source, allowing you to feature relevant content from brown.edu without managing duplicate copies. Any updates from the original publisher automatically reflect on your site, ensuring content remains accurate and up-to-date across any sites where the article is being displayed.
Usage Guide
We’ve developed a usage guide that outlines best practices for news importing and helps you avoid common pitfalls:
