I’ve completely rewritten the plugin after 8 years, because the code was targeting PHP4 platforms and now it should work with all PHP5+ versions.
Still does the same thing: Its a widget plugin which collects data from Audioscrobbler web services and gets your last listened tracks and their album images.
Download : You can get the latest release here : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lastfm-rps/
Then just activate the plugin, go to Design-Widgets, add the widget where you want, write the username and widget title in the settings and save. That’s all.
Current Version : 2.0.0
@hutzi: no i have no idea about that. can you give me your URL?
my whole is layout is always jumping for a short time, when i put the the plugin on my sidebar to display. Any idea, why it happens?
@Christer Danmo: Yea the caching system is what everybody wants but i haven’t got any time to work on it. Maybe later. But I dont know when. I started working 4 months ago,nowadays I’m so busy and I don’t know when it’ll end 🙂
hmm.. I`ll have a look at it. Tables do expand auto 😀
One more question, is it possible to make the plugin cache the images and not sync with last.fm every min? My blogg loads like 5-10 times slower than usual when I turn the plugin on :S
@Marcin: I think that’s something about your theme’s css file. please be sure if there are any float:left or float:right in your sidebar css.
@Christer Danmo: Yes Christer I know that situation but I don’t know how to fix that 🙂 Maybe you can specify
Great plugin 😀 Atleast 3-4 times better than the other ones at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/.
The sad part of it is that I got one bug and one css “bug”, The first bug is that if the songname is to long and take two lines the information about
Hi there.
Great job… But on my site – http://www.winylowe.com I cannot display more then 1 records. When I do – the records are not alligned… they are like a cascade…
Any ideas?
Best regards
@Jeremy Swearingen: Jeremy there’s a way but you need to change the thumbnail source because this script is directly getting the original 50×50 images so there’s a 130×130 option too i think. you should edit the core and find the last.fm image links and t
Is there a way to make the album art larger? I changed the values in the CSS file to 80 pixels on each side but it resulted in blurry images because I was just scaling up the original 50×50 images. Then I looked in the lastfm.php file in hopes of finding
Brilliant. That worked. It does, however still show the user status (subscriber, etc.) and the Last.fm username no matter what. Which is fine for me… I decided I’d like to show my scrobbled tracks anyway. Gotta do some styling on it though. Thanks!
@Joel Goodman: yea there is. but i didnt add that as a variable of the function. maybe i forgot. but you can open lastfm.php and there are the settings at line 18. it looks like :
[code]$settings = array( “showavatar” => true,
“showrealname”
Hey Taha,
The plugin’s come a long way! Thanks for sharing it and for all of your hard work. I’m in the middle of a redesign and I’m hardcoding my sidebars (non-widget enabled). Is there any way to specify in the tag not to show the badge? I really jus
@parrulo: it looks great on your site 🙂 thank you for using it 😉
Great plugin! Thank you very much! 🙂
When you disable “Show Badge” option the first track is shown messup up in Internet Explorer. It works perfect in Firefox though.
Now’s working great! I just deactivate it and erase from plugins folder just to re upload and activate.
There would be great to have a css editor on options page.
Thanks for this wonderfull plugin!
I edit css on my style.css from my theme so you ca
@Taha Paksu: No errors at all, I will try to use a previous version, thanks mate!
@Alejandro Urrutia Daglio: I dont know what could be happening. If there are any error messages can you please mail to me or write it here? Maybe you should get the old version from wordpress.org if thats working?
Taha Paksu , do you know what can be going on with my problem? Thanks
Teşekkür ederim cevapladığın için sorunu hallettim.
@Kerem: 2. sıradaki Şarkı ismi uzun geliyodur. CSS ayarlarını bi kontrol et.
Abi eklentiyi bayadır kullanıyorum ama 2 gündür dinleme listesinde 2. satır 1. satırın üstüne kayıyor neden kaynaklanabilir acaba?Teşekkürler…
@Taha Alright I understand, no problems, with a little tinkering I’ve managed to do it myself with a little truncate snippet. It probably isn’t too pretty, but it works 🙂
Hi great plugin, all working fine untill last update (1.0.2) Now isn’t showing recent tracks for http://www.yovivoenvigo.com, used to work perfect with previous release.
I’ve checked to be correctly scrobbling to my last.fm account
Thanks!
@Blackhouse: Sorry I have no time nowadays for updating this plugin. Maybe later..But you can try playing with css and search for how to use the “overflow” property of css. That may be useful for you.
Heya,
Could you add an option (or make it default), to truncate very long titles? Really long titles (or artists) really mess up the layout 🙂
Thanks in advance!
@gordie: that’s not my script’s fault 🙂 that’s about your server’s php setting. And thank you for this info 🙂
PS : and I added THIS on the top of the lastfm.php file
if ($_REQUEST[‘page_id’]!=347) {
return;
}
to show it only on page #347.
I don’t know why; but if (!is_page(‘347’)) does not work.
@Taha Paksu :
finally founded what was causing the problem on my blog :
Your first line in lastfm.php is
<?
and not
<?php !!!
Now it is working fine !
Thanks.
@Joel: Yea Last.fm is a little busy now 🙂 I think the design was better before.
@Giofilo: Thank you. I’ll fix it in the next release when i have more time to release a new one 🙂 I’m working in a company now and this was a spare time hobby for me 🙂
Great plugin!
There’s a little problem with XHTML validation: when I put the widget, the W3C system says that there are 10 errors.
It can be easily fixed adding the “alt” description to last.fm logo and closing the “img” tag with a “/” in the file l
Actually, my install worked fine with 2.6. I’m just now having problems, and blaming it on Last.fm’s updates. Might want to check out whatever they’re messing with over there.
@gordie: I didn’t try the code with wordpress 2.6 yet so maybe they changed the name of that function. I think that’s a fixable thing. Thanks for mentioning that. I’ll look at the code ASAP.
I confirm, your plugin is broken under WP 2.6 (just out !)
@harry: hi, i don’t know what’s causing this but there might be something about wp_head() function. make sure that your theme has it in your header.php file.
hi,
i tried to install but i got this error
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_register_sidebar_widget() – —————–
I am using K2 themes…and K2 sidebar widgets…please help me.
1.0.2, the last one.
@gordie: which version gives this error?
hello, I’m trying the plugin (wordpress 2.6 beta 2) and get this error when activating it :
syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in F:\web\BENOITGREANT2\blog\wp-content\plugins\lastfm-rps\lastfm.php on line 438
any solution ?
@Éric Senterre: Thats working? And that happens when you didn’t listen to any songs since 4 days.
Hi!
I just installed this plugin a week ago and I really like this plugin, it works really nice and the output is just perfect!
But since yesterday, the plugin only tells me : “This user has not played any songs yet.” I don’t know why. FYI, you can
@robertneumann: Thanks.
@Bob S: No I don’t know any like that. Sorry.
