GK News Show Pro and shortcodes

I'm trying to use shortcodes with GK-NSP widget, but it seems that they're being stripped somewhere.
Where should I comment/uncomment code to activate use of shortcodes at GK NSP ?

Hi

Please check if You are using the latest version of widget or just reinstall it with the latest version. If this will not help please send me an access to admin panel and ftp.

My Folio - version 1.3.3
GK News Show Pro - 1.0.0
GK Tabs - 1.0
All are latest, sent a PM with details

Hi

Have You send it already. I do not see it in my PM or mail.

Hi

I've checked and from what I can see widget is not reciving any content from the given source. When I'm opening the link I see "Access denied" message. Is it possible that widget gots the same result ? Please try put the source as an ordinary post and try if shortcodes works than.

Sorry.
I've updated source settings for that widget - now it's showing data

Hi

So is the issue solved ? Can I close this thread?

No, it is not.
It is not an issue about data and its source, but shortcodes which are not working - you can see at the frontpage, they are not being processed.

Hi

Ok, sorry. From Your previous post I understood it's solved. I've sending You access to programmers, becuase I cannot see a problem. Will let You know when they will answer. Can You send me an access to ftp in case they will ask for it ?

Hi

Ok. Mystery has been revealed Shortcodes are not working in titles of widgets, but inside widgets itself.

Hi!
What should I change in code in order to activate them also in titles. I know that some other plugins work with shortcodes in titles, but not gk5

I also need shortcodes to modify rss url of the data source parameter of the news plugin

Hi

Titles are handle by WP. I believe ther is a method to make it from inside module, but it will require some additional codding. Unfortunatelly we do not support such customisations.

Ok, will check why it's supported at other plugins.
I also need shortcodes to modify rss url of the data source parameter of the news plugin - how to fix that?

@vlazuko - why do you need a shortcodes usage on the parameter which is an option in the widget?

I need to request different RSS feeds depending on the value of parameter passed to the page on request.
URL parameter "userID" will be parsed and its value will be used as an addition to an RSS feed URL used by gk-nsp widget.
I want to use for example "URL Params" widget to transfet value of parameter to gk-nsp: Data Source type of nsp widget will be set to RSS and value to, for example: "www.site.com/backend/userDetails-[urlparam param="userID" default="0" /].rss"

For example, requested url is smth like: "www.site,com/?userID=5" will get nsp to fetch "www.site.com/backend/userDetails-5.rss"

OK, in this case please open file data_sources/rss/rss.php and please change line:

Code: Select all

$rss = fetch_feed($data_source);

to:

Code: Select all

$rss = fetch_feed(do_shortcode($data_source));
