The Display Settings allow you to personalize your Social Wall with additional adjustments, such as showing or hiding specific information. For example, you can choose to display or hide the date or the logos of social networks. Additionally, you have the option to integrate your Social Wall with your Google Analytics account for enhanced tracking and insights.

Click on one of the following menu items to jump directly to that menu item in this article:

GENERAL

In «General» you can make the following settings:

Language

This setting defines the primary language of your display. It determines the language users will see when, for example, uploading content directly to your Social Wall or reporting content—if these options are activated.

Date Format

Choose in which format the date should be displayed, for example, 08 Feb 2023 or 08.02.2023.

Video Play

You have four options for playing videos on your Social Wall. Choose the one that best fits your use case:

  1. Play in Detail Modal:
    Videos will play within the detail modal view. If you select this option, ensure that the Detail Modal is also selected for the Click Action in the next step.
    ​

  2. Hover Video to Play:
    Videos will start playing when users hover over them. This option is ideal for Social Walls embedded on websites.
    ​

  3. Click Video to Play:
    Videos will play only when clicked. This is another great option for website Social Walls as it minimizes the load on the website.
    ​

  4. Autoplay:
    Videos will start playing automatically. This is best suited for integrations on info screens or other displays where autoplay is practical.

Click Action

Choose what should happen when a user clicks on content on your social wall. You have the following options:

  • Do nothing: The contents are not clickable. If a user clicks on content on your social wall, nothing will happen.
    ​
    ​

  • Open links: When a user clicks on a piece of content, they are directed to the original source of the content on the social network, for example, a video on Instagram or a post on LinkedIn.
    ​
    ​

  • Show detail modal: If the user clicks on content, a new window shows the content enlarged. Videos will automatically start playing in this window. The image below is an example of a detail modal.

Detail Model Theme

The Modal color theme allows you to easily customize the background color of your Detail Modal box. Choose "Auto" to match your display's custom color, select "Dark" for a black background with white text, or opt for "Light" to reverse the colors.

Load more button

Decide whether your Load More button should be an icon or a text field.

Share with

Decide how content can be shared from your social wall. When a user clicks the share icon, the options you set will be displayed.

VISIBILITY

In the «Visibility» menu, you can decide which information you want to display and which you want to hide:

PAGINATION

In the «Pagination» menu, you can set how many contents should appear on your Social Wall and how they should behave.


​

  • Limit: First, you set the number of contents to be displayed before the Load More button appears.
    ​
    ​

  • Mobile Optimize: If you activate the setting Mobile Optimize, fewer than the set number of contents will appear on mobile devices. If this setting is activated, on medium-sized devices (tablets) 1/2 contents will appear, and on small devices (mobile phones) 1/4 of the set number of contents will appear.
    ​
    ​

  • Randomize: Normally, your content is displayed on the social wall in chronological order. However, if you activate the "Randomize" feature, the content will be displayed randomly instead. The randomization feature will be applied within the defined number of contents ("Limit"). In our example, it would be the last 24 contents.
    ​
    ​

  • Autorefresh: If you integrate your Social Wall on a screen (for example at an event), you can set how often the displayed contents should be updated. Please Note: If you integrate your Social Wall on the website, no auto-refresh function is necessary. You should not change the existing default setting for website integrations of your Social Wall.

Integrations

In the «Integrations» menu, you can connect your display with your Google Analytics account.

External

Let it snow! In the «External» menu, you can add a special effect to your social wall for a special season or event.
