Last.fm RPS

Description

This plugin gets your last.fm feed and parses your recently played song information and then combines it with the album tag
also taken from the last.fm feeds. If it doesn’t find an album image, It shows the artist image instead of it.

Whats New in Version 0.2?

  • Added option to define how many songs are displayed on the page
  • Seperated css file from code and added new “lastfm.css” file
  • Added different stylesheets to recently played songs
  • Changed the datetime display configuration like “x days y seconds and z minutes ago”
  • Changed the div’s into tables which are more reliable for different themes.
  • If the user hasn’t any wp_head() included in his/her theme’s header.php, this script checks and adds its css itself.

Whats the fixes in Version 0.3?

  • Added a neccessary fix for the time difference between server time and local time.
  • If there is a track played in the player which length is less than 4 minutes ,the script showed two recently listened songs, so this is fixed now.It only displays one.

  • Added support for not widget-enabled themes.
  • Added Screenshot
  • Updated Readme.txt
