  • Only content created in syndication will import to other sites. If you create a news article, event, or profile directly on your site it cannot import to other sites.

  • To import content to the main pdx.edu site, you must use the “CH - Top Level” Content Hub tag on that content. To import existing content to your own site, edit the page in Syndication and add your site’s Content Hub tag to the content.

  • All syndicated content must be edited in syndication; edits made within your own site will not update other copies of the content.

  • Imported content will not display immediately on your site; it can take up to two hours for accurately tagged content to import to your site.

  • Never link directly to content in syndication. Double check the URLs to make sure they do not contain “ondeck.pdx.edu/syndication”.

  • If syndicated content is imported to your site that you don't want to have displayed on your site, simply un-publish the content on your site. Deleting the content will allow it to be re-imported.

  • You cannot set a focus point for images in Syndication as the focus is not retained when the content imports to your site. Use these dimensions to customize your images before uploading to Syndication:

    • News Article Image: 945 x 520 pixels 

    • Event Image: 455 x 325 pixels

    • Profile Secondary Image: 320 x 223 pixels

...

  • Tags: the field labeled "Tags" is a topic-based tag. This is visible to visitors; they can also use this tag to filter news and events. Separate multiple tags using commas.  

  • Content Hub Tag: the field labeled “Content Hub Tag” is where you choose the sites that will import the news article or event. Every tag of this sort starts with “AP -” or “CH -”; this tag is invisible to visitors. Select “Add another item” to add multiple tags; separating by commas does not work. Each site has one Content Hub Tag by default. If your site does not have a Content Hub Tag, you can [request a Content Hub Tag].

    • To import content to the main pdx.edu site, you must use the “CH - Top Level” Content Hub tag on that content.

    • To import existing content to your own site, edit the page in Syndication and add your site’s Content Hub tag to the content.
