Google News Widget wordpress plugin released
This is my first released wordpress plugin.
For the readme.txt file.
This plugin creates a widget which displays an unordered list of links to the latest google news, given one or more keywords.
The user can customize the list by choosing: the localization (country/language) of the news and the number of articles to be displayed.
Note 1: The syntax for the search criteria is that indicated by Google:
- all the words need to be present: key1 key2 key3 (separate the words with a space)
- the exact phrase needs to be present: “exact phrase” (delimit with double quotes)
- any of the words can be present: key1 OR key2 OR key3 (write an OR among the words).
Note 2: The maximum number of displayable articles depends on the number of articles stored into the XML page (RSS feed page) of Google news website.
If you wish to display the latest 15 news and the XML page contains 10 news only, then only 10 will be displayed.
You can find the plugin on this server here: google-news-widget.

[Ita] La selezione della nazione/lingua e del numero di notizie visualizzabili sono accessibili direttamente dal modulo dello widget (google-news-widget). Chiaramente questo va trascinato in una area “widget-ready” (abilitata agli widget). Le barre laterali di solito lo sono, ma dipende dal tema di wordpress che hai scelto.
Se vuoi, scaricati la nuova versione (0.2) che contiene più opzioni.
Spero di esserti stata di aiuto!
[Eng] You can enter localization, and number of displayable news directly into the widget form. Of course, this needs to be dragged-and-dropped into a widget ready area. Sidebars are normally widget-ready but it all depends by the theme you choose.
Please download the new version (0.2) as it has more options. I hope it helps.
