New Plugin: Feed Key Generator

The “Feed Key Generator” plugin is now released for all UBC Blogs users. The plugin enables access to your private blogs’ feeds through a 40 character key which you can give out to anyone that you wish to enable access for. Furthermore, you can always reset the key if you feel the current key might be compromised or there’s been a change of staff/students.

To activate the plugin on a private blog simply go to “Dashboard -> Posts -> Plugins” and click on the “Activate” link in the “Feed Key Generator” section.

The following leads to our complete documentation on how to use the plugin: http://wiki.ubc.ca/Documentation:UBC_Content_Management_System/Plugins/Feed_Key_Generator
