Recipe: Add a link list to your app

What you’ll build

A list screen in your app — for example Pro Tips Videos — where each row shows a title and thumbnail and opens a web link (a YouTube video, an article, anything with a URL) inside the app.

Before you start

  • mam-main and mam-link-library are active.
  • You know which app screen the list should live on.

Steps

1. Create a tag for the list

Go to Posts → Tags and add a tag that names this list, e.g. pro-tips. The tag is how the app screen finds its items.

2. Add your items

Go to Link Library → Add New for each entry:

  1. Title — the row label, e.g. Grip Fundamentals in 3 Minutes.
  2. Link URL — paste the destination URL (YouTube link, article, etc.).
  3. Featured image — set a thumbnail for the row.
  4. Tags — assign the tag from step 1 (e.g. pro-tips).
  5. Optionally set Order (in Page Attributes) to control the row’s position; lower numbers sort first.
  6. Publish.

3. Point an app section at the tag

In the app builder, open the target screen and add a content section:

  1. Set the content type to Link List.
  2. In the content source dropdown, choose your tag (e.g. pro-tips).
  3. Adjust fonts/colors under Layout Settings if desired.
  4. Save the app.

4. Verify

Refresh the app. The screen lists your items in menu order; tapping a row opens its URL in the in-app web view.

Tips

  • To gate items behind an in-app purchase, also tag them IAP Required.
  • Lists cap at 50 items by default; a developer can raise this with the mam_link_library_posts_per_page filter.
  • Content changes appear after save immediately — saving an item flushes the app payload cache.
