Blocks from Pulse

Last Updated: July 26, 2018

Pulse enables staff, fellows, and our network to discover and collaborate on projects for a healthy internet. It captures and broadcasts a stream of projects with rich metadata. This data allows us to view things by issue area, tag, creator, or the type of help needed from collaborators.

Profiles from Pulse

You can pull profiles from Pulse onto your page. The "Profile Listing" component allows you to pull in a list of profiles by program. The "Profile by ID" component allows you to pull in a specific profile(s).

The cards automatically link to their full profile, where you can see their projects and links to their social media. For some users, you can see their favs from across Pulse.

Live Example

To add this, tap the small gray plus button within your pages Body section. Then tap the "Profile listing" or "Profile by ID" icon. Below is info about the options.

Profile by ID

Profile by ID allows you to show one or more specific profiles. This was used for the example above

• Find their ID number in their Pulse profile URL (mozillapulse.org/profile/[##]).
• For multiple profiles, specify a comma separated list (e.g. 85,105,332).

Here's how the component looks in the admin:

Profile Listing Options

Profile listing component is used to grab a group of profiles. For example, Tech Policy Fellows.

• Max results - set the number to appear on your page.
• Profile type - type is set in the Pulse admin. These include "fellow", "staff", etc. Leave this empty to pull any type.
• Program type - programs are set in the Pulse admin. These include "tech policy" etc. Leave this empty to pull any type.

The options

• Search - Use any word or phrase. This will search titles, descriptions, and tags. Test your search on Pulse first.
• Max results - set the number to appear on your page. This is limited so we don't overwhelm visitors. If you want to show more, link them to a search URL on Pulse. Pulse allows them to favorite things, view creators, and discover more.
• Display featured - check this to limit your results to things marked as featured by our moderators on Pulse. Leave unchecked to show all results.
• Sort - show the latest stuff by default
• Issues - use this to limit your results to items with an issue
• Help - use this to limit your results to projects that need a particular kind of help from collaborators
