Google News Widget 0.9 released
What would I do without my plugins users. Foreign accents problems…should I not know about it?
Thanks to a friendly french, Jean Bruno at Morgao this time, who tested it and gave me the all “ok”.
I love the Internet…

Very useful plugin, but the code it generates is no valid XHTML because the UL-Tags are uppercase and the ampersands in the links are not encoded.
This is how I fixed it:
1. replace line 452 with
return str_replace(‘UL>’,'ul>’,$flist);
2. in line 406 replace
$item->link
with
“.str_replace(‘&’,'&’,$item->link).”
Maybe you can include this (or another fix for these problems) in the next update?

Hi!
I love your plugin, but have run into a problem with it. If I use multiple instances of it on the same (front) page, in order to run multiple searches, only one instance will continue to update. The others will “lose” their search terms, and either remain frozen with the links from when they were first set up, or will return to the Top Stories default.
Any suggestions on handling this?
Thanks!

Hi Jenny, to be honest i have never tested multiple widgets on the same page. Need to investigate…keep you posted.

I love the plugin… by far the best I’ve used for RSS, but I have the same problem as Jenny.
