[Pro] Stream

Don’t have an example and not sure if this is possible, but what i want is that every time a story has a keyword in it, i want that to pop up in a steam, for example:

if my site was about apples, i want the steam to include stories that are about apples.

How is this possible?

The way this sort of thing is usually done is by using a database and a server-side language like PHP or Ruby to store the articles, rank them by keyword frequency, and automatically generate these sorts of “tag clouds” within their on-screen representation. I am not aware of any way you could automate this within Freeway, in a fully static site. Are you using Wordpress or another CMS in your site? If so, there may be a plugin there which will do this for you, otherwise, you are facing a cliff of a learning curve (unless you have already programmed in a server-side language).

I would only be using Freeway for this site. I am wondering if there is something similar to this. My client wants this feature. An alternative is to post an article that I find daily and upload it to the site, but I was hoping not to

Can you please say a little more about the goal here? I’m confused, because your original question was about categorizing (tagging) pages you had already created, and this sounds more like you want to add a blog to a static site. There are ways to do either of these, and ways to integrate them into a static Freeway site, but there is no way to do it in Freeway without an external application that can do the logical stuff you need.

My client is a retired professional athlete and he does a lot for foundations, clubs, etc etc and what we want to do is when an article is written about him or an article mentions him, we want that article to show up on the site, whether it may be. Articles may be from espn.com or nbcsports.com, etc etc

Basically, we want those articles to show up without us posting it everyday,but the alternative is to post them on the certain page on the site. We are not looking to do any sort of blogging

Huh. If you really want this to be out of your hands, I guess you could set up a Google alert for whatever keywords are appropriate, and then use If This Then That to intermediate to a reposting service, like Tumblr. It might be an interesting project. I don’t know how you would get these to post to your static Freeway site, though. Maybe if you then used the ReadFeed Action to read the RSS feed from your Tumblr. Rube Goldberg would have fun with this one…

We don’t want to have any external sites for now such as tumblr, just everything into the static page. From what I am understanding, the only way to do it would be to use an external site such as tumblr and have that reverted back to the static page through ReedFeed. Wish it was simpler, but guess not

How would you set up a " If this then that" in reposting service? Never heard of doing that

See if you can set up a custom search alert in Yahoo News. I believe that once you get that to work, you can then make a RSS feed from that search results page, and put that directly into ReadFeed as the source. I did this for a client years ago, but I haven’t tried it recently. It should Just Work™, although ReadFeed can be very finicky about the quality of the feed, and RSS is less of a standard than a good idea – even though there are validators and an official spec, everybody has their own idea how to implement the format.
