    Hi,

    Is it possible to tweak the widget so it gets the feed sources from a php file containing the feed urls? I can get this work with echo SimplePieWP and include(), but I would need it in the feedzy widget or shortcode. It would also help others to merge multiple feeds into one file.

    let me know please.
    Thanks

    Hello,

    yes I can. I use the php code below to display feeds in widgets/posts/pages with SimplePie.

    echo SimplePieWP(
        include('/feed_list.php')
,array(
	'items' => 50,
        'enable_order_by_date' => true,
        'show_thumbnail' => 1,
));

    Where feed_list.php is a file containing several feeds:

    <?php 
  return [
'feed1',
'feed2',
'feed3',
.....
];
?>

    Is it possible to do similar thing with feedzy? Or is it possible to hook the feed_list.php into the feedzy widget or shortcode?

    Something like this would be great:
    [feedzy-rss feeds="feed_list.php" max="50"]

    Thanks

    Not really, the only thing that you could do is to copy the urls and add in the feeds attr.

    However adding an file to the attribute feeds attr value is a interesting idea and we might think of integrating it in the future.

    Thanks for sharing.

    It is much handier to have the sources within a file. If you have placed the feed urls with feedzy shortcode on 100 pages/widgets and one feed brokes, you need to go through all 100 pages/widgets to modify the source versus only 1 time if the urls are in a file.
    It would be a great addition to the plugin.
