Remote Content

StaticPHP can pull in remote content to display on a page. This is useful if you want to have one "source of truth" for content but display it in multiple places, such as documentation hosted on GitHub and your website.

The Remote Content URL

In MetaData, set remote_content_url to the URL of your remote content, and StaticPHP will automatically fetch this for you.

The Remote Content Placeholder

Fetching the content is part one, but where do you want the content displayed? In MetaData, set remote_content_placeholder to a placeholder of your choice (e.g. {{ remote_content }}), and then put that same placeholder somewhere below the MetaData section wherever you want the remote content to appear.

Example Source Page

---
remote_content_url: https://example.tld/path/to/remote-content.md
remote_content_placeholder: {{ remote_content }}
---

{{ remote_content }}

What content formats are supported?

Currently, StaticPHP can only fetch Markdown content with a URL ending in .md. The markdown content will automatically be converted to HTML for you. Please see the Markdown Files page for more details.
