    OK, this is a bit of an open-ended questions.

    A client of ours wants to create a blog for which we would be using the Articles Extra. But the client also wants to mix in their Facebook posts. So when opening the blog, we would see something like this:


    • 13/06/2014 - Latest Blog Article
    • 12/06/2014 - Yesterday's Facebook Post
    • 11/06/2014 - Another Facebook Post
    • 10/06/2014 - Facebook Post Because they post a lot
    • 09/06/2014 - The Previous Blog Article

    Has anybody done something like this and how did you approach it. Right now I see two approaches;


    1. Server-side solution: Scheduled task is populating Quip/Articles on a daily basis form FB
    2. Client-side solution: Extend articles to mix in FB posts during output in browser

    Any ideas, approaches, tips and hints in this regard would be much appreciated as I need to make a cost proposal for the client.

    Thanks.

    • As a nudge in the right direction, I would recommend utilizing the RSS feed that is built in with Articles, and the Facebook RSS feed https://www.facebook.com/help/212445198787494/ to combine the data.
