Public Boards

Hello Gang!

I’ve completed modifying the bits of your favorite unfiltered news search engine for the platforms to support the public boards.  This post post will demonstrate the functionality.  This will cover:

 

Need:

The next step for the continued expansion of boards is the ability to mark as public and then share with users that are not part of the Unfiltered technosphere.  The premise is that people who are not users should be able to see the boards and the related stories that you create.  So if you mark the board as public and then paste the link that is generated into your Facebook post, email, Instagram, etc your friends/recipients will be able to click on that link and see the board.  

Configuration:

 

To configure a board for public access the ‘Public’ slider will need to be set.  Navigate to the board in question by clicking/tapping on the Menu icon.  The boards will populate.  Once populated click on the ‘edit’ icon or the pencil.  This will allow you to make changes to the selected board.  Find the ‘Public’ slider and make sure it is enabled.  Once this is done save the board.  The board is now configured for public access.  You can take the generated URL and share.  The ‘true’/’false’ value at the end of the URL controls the map.  If you do not want the map to show change the value to false.  So https://unfiltered.me/board/8/true will display the map.  https://unfiltered.me/board/8/false will not display the map.  This has been configured for deep links.  So if the linked is clicked on my someone who has downloaded the app the link will open inside it.

The board is now browsable and can be seen by anyone.   

That’s a wrap!

That’s the update for adding public Boards for use with your favorite Unfiltered News Search Engine.  These changes were pushed to the app stores on June 15h 2021 and the browser was updated on June 15st 2021 as well.  As always have fun with the best news search engine for Unfiltered results!
