The plugin adds a widget that shows news for selected games.
<h4>Configuration Options</h4>
<ul>
<li>
Steam Game IDs: 
Games are referenced by their steam app id. 
Just enter a comma-separated list of app ids, like “440, 570, 730” (without quotes). 
You can find the full list of steam app ids at http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamApps/GetAppList/v0002/ .
</li>
<li>
Maximum Number of News: 
The maximum number of news to show.
</li>
<li>
News Length: 
It limits the length of shown news.
</li>
<li>
HTML Template: 
Allows you to define HTML layout of the widget in a way you like. 
The news data can be extracted with special tags {{some_news.some_property}}. 
Just put those in a right place. The plugin will replace them with actual data. 
To iterate through all fetched news use <code><foreach></code> tag, 
e.g. <code><foreach iterator="{{news}}" in="{{newslist}}">{{news.text}}</foreach></code>, 
where {{newslist}} is a predefined value and it points to the news set.
Each news has following properties:
<ul>
<li>title, e.g. {{news.title}}.</li>
<li>url, e.g. {{news.url}}.</li>
<li>text, e.g. {{news.text}}.</li>
<li>date, e.g {{news.date}}.</li>
<li>time, e.g. {{news.time}}.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Other Notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>
The date/time format as well as the timezone of the news match the ones from WordPress “General Settings”.
</li>
<li>
The widget’s content is updated about every hour.
</li>
<li>
The plugin requires PHP 5.3.3 or higher.
</li>
<li>
A special requirement from the data provider: 
Each page that uses the Steam Web API must contain a link to http://steampowered.com with the text “Powered by Steam”. 
We suggest that you put this link in your footer so it is out of the way but still visible to interested users.
</li>
</ul>
