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.

WordPress Shortcode

The [lastfmrecords] shortcode gives you the opportunity to show cd covers in your posts. It uses the settings from the plugin, but you can add arguments to overrule them:

  • period="***": can be set to recenttracks, lovedtracks, tracks7day, tracks3month, tracks6month, tracks12month, tracksoverall, topalbums7day, topalbums3month, topalbums6month, topalbums12month and topalbumsoverall
  • count: number of covers to show
  • stylesheet: simple or hover
  • imgwidth: width (and height) of the cd covers
  • user: last.fm username
  • refreshmin: time between updates (only works for period recenttracks)
  • 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:

  1. include jQuery, and the ‘last.fm.records.js’ file from this plugin
  2. add <div id="lastfmrecords_elem"></div> to your HTML (the id name is yours to choose, of course)

  3. use this piece of jQuery to show covers

    jQuery(document).ready( function() {
    jQuery(“#lastfmrecords_elem”).lastFmRecords(
    {“period”: “recentttracks”, “user”: “lastfmusername”, “count”: “4”}
    );
    });

  4. check the shortcode options for all arguments.

Download & install the zip archive

The plugin package installer can be downloaded from the WP2E project tab called “code”.
