I am trying to create a dashboard widget with feed from a custom plugin's changelog. On the Plugins page of the WP dashboard, one cabn already click on View Details
and then Changelog
as per I would like to show the 3 most recent items in a widget on my dashboard.
My setup
- I created a custom theme.
- I crated a custom plugin, hosted on a private repository on github.
- Add release notes / changelog to the readme.txt file
- Update the plugin from the private github repository
I know how to:
- Create a dashboard widget
- Pull feed from a post on another website.
I want to:
- Pull feed from the readme.txt file hosted in the private repository on github.
- In particular I want to pull the lates release notes/changelog under the
== Changelog ==
section in my readme.txt - So the feed must be pulled from github and not from the website server, as changelog of the plugin not yet updated should also display.
My "project" may seem pointless. It is a bit of a pet-project that just grew and grew and becoming a great school fro me :)
Any pointers or direction will be greatly appreciated.Thank you
