Home / Plugin: WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher / Fetching Favicons
Hi,
First of all thank you for awesome plugin.
I have a question : is there a way to fetch favicon urls ? a function to include into functions.php ?
Thanks
And yes it’s possible. I have found a rough method : editing the file \wp-content\plugins\wpematico\app\campaign_fetch_functions.php
$vars = array(
'{feedfavicon}' => $feed->get_favicon(), // <== ADD THIS ===
'{title}' => $current_item['title'],
'{content}' => $current_item['content'],
'{itemcontent}' => $item->get_description(),
'{image}' => $img_str,
'{author}' => $autor,
'{permalink}' => $current_item['permalink'],
'{feedurl}' => $feed->feed_url,
'{feedtitle}' => $feed->get_title(),
'{feeddescription}' => $feed->get_description(),
'{feedlogo}' => $feed->get_image_url(),
...This will create a new tag {feedfavicon} that we can use in “post template”.
Yes, it’s not recommendable to touch original files, but I’m not a php ninja. Maybe someone can put here a way that is more healthy than this one.
Thanks
Hi @charafweb
Thanks for the tip.
As you said in your first message, this can be added with a filter in your function.php. Anyway will not be necessary because we’ll add it by default in the next version of the plugin.
cheers
This would be much appreciated.
A suggestion if possible to add a fallback image (a custom favicon) if the favicon cannot be fetched, thing that I came across when trying the solution I posted.
Thank you very much for your hard work 🙂
Hi @charafweb,
You can find the new tag for favicon urls in the post template feature of the las version released today 2.6.14
We have also added a wp filter to allow you customize its value with external filters.
Enjoy
