How to add “read more” link at end of summary w/ shortcode?

@wordmax you can consult our documentation here for this.

It appears you have been extensively using our plugin (and have been pretty active on support as well) so kindly spare a moment to leave us a review. It would really help us spread the word!

Sorry, thought I’d left a review already.

Done.

I tried adding both of the read more functions to wp functions, no luck getting “read more” to display at the end of the summaries.

Seems the documentation could be a little more detailed about how to implement the suggested functions for desired results regarding “read more” link.

Are there shortcode parameters like readmore=”somevalue” ?
FYI – I tried searching documentation before adding this thread. No luck. That’s why I created this thread. Thanks

@wordmax we will definitely try to make the documentation more apparent from within the plugin and try to make it more detailed.

Can you please provide the exact, non-redacted shortcode so that we can try it at our end? The feed https://www.bing.com/news/example_keyword_phrase&format=rss is not a valid feed

Sorry:

Try this rss feed instead:
https://www.bing.com/news/search?q=tesla&format=rss

Here’s how I’d be using it to display feed w/ shortcode:
[feedzy-rss feeds="https://www.bing.com/news/search?q=tesla&format=rss" max="6" feed_title="no" target="_blank" refresh="2_hours" title="100" thumb="no" size="50" meta="no" summary="yes" summarylength="500"]

So can I insert a shortcode command in there for ‘readmore=”yes” or equivalent? Please show how in documentation in which file to add appropriate readmore function code and also how readmore variable can be used in shortcodes.

Thanks

@wordmax you would have to use the below code snippet as the the ... seem to be coming from the feed itself.

function feedzy_readmore( $content, $link, $feedURL ) {
    $content = str_replace( array( '[a€|]', '[…]', '[&hellip;]', '...' ), '<a href="' . $link . '" target="_blank">' . __('Read more', 'yourTextDomain') . ' &rarr;</a>', $content );
    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'feedzy_summary_output', 'feedzy_readmore', 9, 3 );

Thank you.

I added the following code to the feedzy-rss-feed.php file:

function feedzy_readmore( $content, $link, $feedURL ) {
    $content = str_replace( array( '[a€|]', '[…]', '[&hellip;]', '...' ), '<a href="' . $link . '" target="_blank">' . __('Read more', 'yourTextDomain') . ' &rarr;</a>', $content );
    return $content;

And then I added the value readmore=”yes” variable in the short code string:

[feedzy-rss feeds="https://www.bing.com/news/search?q=bitcoin&format=rss
" max="6" feed_title="no" target="_blank" refresh="2_hours" title="100" thumb="no" size="50" meta="no" summary="yes" summarylength="200" readmore="yes"]

If you want to change the text “Read more” edit the function code above. In my case I wanted it to show “continue reading” so I changed it.

Hope this helps anyone trying to figure out how to get readmore link to show.
