[hide]Thanks for the help in my previous thread. I am at the point now where I have a working script here http://www.fromefm.c...=homelyremedies which does what I need it to do. Now I somehow need to create wordpress so I can embed some shortcode syntax such as [fromefmplayer=homelyremedies] and it will output it into the blog or page I've added it to.

 

This is a plugin designed to work on only one site so it doesn't matter if I have to hardcode urls into it (with the exception of the show name) but I want it as a plugin so i can change themes and update wordpress without having to remember the changes I made each time.

 

The plugin will need to add a few extra css and js files to the header and then run the php code within the blog/page.

 

I'm not asking someone to do it for me but some pointers on how to convert what is essentially a working js/html5/css script into a wordpress plugin.[/hide]

Add js files:

 

function add_js() {
   wp_register_script( 'scriptname', plugins_url( '/javascript.css', __FILE__ ) ); 
   wp_enqueue_script( 'scriptname' );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_js');

 

Read more about the wp_register_script parameters here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_register_script

 

Add CSS:

 

function add_styles() {
   wp_register_style( 'stylesheet', plugins_url( '/stylesheet.css', __FILE__ ) );
   wp_enqueue_style( 'stylesheet' );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_styles');

 

Making a shortcode such as: [fromfmplayer title=homelyremedies]

 

function your_function($atts) {
   //extracting the parameters and setting a default in case one isn't set by the user
   extract(shortcode_atts(array(
       'title' => 'homelyremedies',
   ), $atts));

   //now you have the variable $title to play with
   //normal function code here
}

function register_shortcodes() {
   add_shortcode('fromfmplayer', 'your_function');
}
add_action('init', 'register_shortcodes');

Thanks tripsis, I've done Wordpress plugins before but they have been very basic and I only made them to avoid editing functions.php directly. I'll have another got at this tomorrow, I've already spent about 5 hours on the player so far lol.

If you have php 5.3 you could do the following:

 

add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', function()
{
 wp_register_script( 'scriptname', plugins_url( '/javascript.css', __FILE__ ) );
 wp_enqueue_script( 'scriptname' );
});

I've successfully got my plugin including all the relevant js and css files it needs and also got it reading the shortcode in the following format:

[ffmplayer show=homelyremedies showno=5] which currently just outputs some text using those variables. See: http://frome.me/ffm/?page_id=48

I've got a separate php file called hello.php which contains only some text saying "working" and I'm struggling to find a way of including it. I tried the following above where it says "normal function code ends" but nothing happens. Also tried echo and return, still nothing.

include (plugins_url( './hello.php' , __FILE__ ));

Try just:

 

include('hello.php');

Try just:

 

include('hello.php');

Tried that. Again nothing happens. No errors but nothing showing in source code.

 

Edit: Took out the 'return' statement before it and it now works. Thanks

[hide]New question.

 

My plugin is successfull including the javascript and css files for the player in the header of wordpress. My plugin is also successfully bringing accross my player.php script and generates the correct html as can be seeing by viewing the source of this page

<audio src="http://www.fromefm.co.uk/archive/sponsors/fromefm-ident.mp3" preload="auto"></audio>

 

However the audio.min.js doesn't convert that into the player as it should do. Any ideas?

[/hide]

Edit: Ignore. Forgot to add the following:

<script>
 audiojs.events.ready(function() {
   var as = audiojs.createAll();
 });
</script>

Right I've not managed to get the player working on a specific url but struggling with the rss reader part. I am using the built in Magpie RSS in Wordpress and have the following code

include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');

$feedurl = 'http://services.runescape.com/m=news/latest_news.rss';
$feed = fetch_rss($feedurl);
$items = array_slice ($feed->items, 0, 5);

foreach ($items as $item )
{
$title = $item[title];
$mp3link = $item[link];
$description = $item[description];

return "<li>$title - $description</li>";
}

It only returns the latest one instead of the number I specified, 5. Any ideas?

Echo kinda works, but then it displays at the top of the post. I'm told you need to use the return function. But that only shows 1. I'm a bit stuck.

include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');

$feedurl = 'http://services.runescape.com/m=news/latest_news.rss';
$feed = fetch_rss($feedurl);
$items = array_slice ($feed->items, 0, 5);
$list = "";

foreach ($items as $item )
{
$title = $item[title];
$mp3link = $item[link];
$description = $item[description];

$list .= "<li>$title - $description</li>";
}
return $list;

Does that work?

edit: actually it does. my apologies. } in the wrong place

Last question for tonight as its late.

 

How do I put some specific html before and after it. So it does this

 

Blah blah blah

[every entry in the rss]

blah blah

include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');

$feedurl = 'http://services.runescape.com/m=news/latest_news.rss';
$feed = fetch_rss($feedurl);
$items = array_slice ($feed->items, 0, 5);
$list = "";

foreach ($items as $item )
{
$title = $item[title];
$mp3link = $item[link];
$description = $item[description];

$list .= "<a href=\"{$mp3link}\"><li>{$title} - {$description}</li></a>";
}
return $list;

 

Like that.

 

Can you show me what it looks like with echo and with return?

Sorry im confused is that an answer to my last post or the one where I said it didnt work (as I typod a } symbol)?

I basically need this code:

 

 

<audio preload></audio>
     <ol>
       <li><a href='#' data-src='$mp3link'>$title - $description</a></li>
       <li><a href='#' data-src='$mp3link'>$title - $description</a></li>
       <li><a href='#' data-src='$mp3link'>$title - $description</a></li>
     </ol>

That was a response to the 2nd post. The last sentence of my post is for your first post.

It's working but I'm struggling with some js issues now. Thanks for your help. Probably going to call it a night for tonight though. Current full code below.
