This plugin shows cd covers on your WordPress site. It connects to last.fm and grabs the list of cds you listened to recently and tries to find the cover images at last.fm.

: can be set torecenttracks
,lovedtracks
,tracks7day
,tracks3month
,tracks6month
,tracks12month
,tracksoverall
,topalbums7day
,topalbums3month
,topalbums6month
,topalbums12month
andtopalbumsoverall
count
: number of covers to showstylesheet
:simple
orhover
imgwidth
: width (and height) of the cd coversuser
: last.fm usernamerefreshmin
: time between updates (only works for periodrecenttracks
)ownapikey
: use your own Last.Fm API key
For example:
[lastfmrecords user="xample" period="lovedtracks" count="14" stylesheet="hover"]<h3>jQuery plugin</h3>
Starting with version 1.7, the javascript in this plugin is a jQuery plugin. It means you can use it on non-WordPress sites with a little bit of code:
- include jQuery, and the ‘last.fm.records.js’ file from this plugin
- add
<div id="lastfmrecords_elem"></div>
to your HTML (the id name is yours to choose, of course) -
use this piece of jQuery to show covers
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
jQuery(“#lastfmrecords_elem”).lastFmRecords(
{“period”: “recentttracks”, “user”: “lastfmusername”, “count”: “4”}
);
}); -
check the shortcode options for all arguments.
