Widget as the user sees it
This plugin implements an widget which can show a different, page controled, rss feed. What I wanted was the last x plugin reviews on the page
with the plugin info.
For this I added an extra field to every page in which an plugin related id can be stored. This id then will be used by the widget to
replace the @ID@ marker in the rss feed.
example
- page rss id: gps-map-widget
- widget rss feed: https://wordpress.org/support/rss/view/plugin-reviews/@ID@
- result: the last posts in the feed https://wordpress.org/support/rss/view/plugin-reviews/gps-map-widget
When the page rss id is empty, there’s also a default title and rss feed to use.
alternative use
The defaults are for use with the plugins. But.. You can also change the rss feed in the widget settings to only @ID@ and add a
complete feed url to every page resulting in a complete different feed on every page.
I use this widget together WooSidebars (https://wordpress.org/plugins/woosidebars/) so I can easy controle where the widget ends up..
