I love this plugin. It’s the only buzz feed plugin I found that displays images. I am wondering though … I have multiple authors in my blog and I’d like to display buzz feeds from each of them in specific locations. Is there a way to do this?

Hello Ivane,
It looks like an awesome plugin, but for some reason I can’t get it to work properly. I do the install just fine, but the only thing displayed are my comments – no link or images are displayed. Any ideas what might bew wrong?
Thanks!

Hi Lazarevic Ivan, I’ve tried two other plugins and I love this one.
But I have a question/suggestion: it doesn’t show the linkk added to a buzz. Do you plan include this feature in next versions?
Thanks!

@pixelkeeda
I don’t know… I just know that it can’t be done with this plugin.

Hey,
Very nice plugin, I was looking for something like this. Two small remarks, though.
1° I’d like to have a checkbox in the option pannel to avoid loading your CSS, thus leaving the theme do the styling part. I made it by hacking your file and commenting the content of gber_head() function, but a cleaner way would be great.
2° It would be great if you could grab the source of the Buzz post and display it, and/or set it as class for the gber_post div. I’ve been digging in the feed XML and found it under entry->source->activity:service->title. I tried to hack your code once again, but the XML parser don’t like the “:” character.
If you know how to work around this, that would be awesome.
Thanks again for your plugin.

Is this plugin still working for latest WordPress 3.0.1?

I did as you said, I also sent you a mail and a buzz with no response. I will probably now remove your plugin. Thanks for the short time it worked.
