Last.fm Artists

Last.fm Artists is a Wordpress plugin that allows a user to display images of their top artists, recently lisetened to artists, and the artists of their recently loved tracks.  It will download the images of the artists, resize them, and display them in a list so they can be put on their blog.  An example can be seen to the right.

Features:

  • Show your top artists of all time
  • Show your top artists over a period of the last 7 days, 3 months, 6 month, or 1 year.
  • Show your recently listened to artists
  • Show the artists of your recently loved tracks
  • Show the images as either a square or wide rectangle
  • Display information about an artist and your playcount or time last played of the artist
  • Edit the CSS or choose from several pre-built styles

Download:

Standalone version coming soon.

thanx for this plugin. It works fine on my site (on archives and pages), but I had to create the caching directory manually. the more it would be great, to get an example of the css to be added … :-)

Is there a way to use this without a widget, for example on my frontpage?

I going to work on a non-widget version today so hopefully that will be out soon. That’s weird that the cache directory wasn’t automatically created. I’ll have to work on that.

Hey,

That would be exactly what I was looking for - a non-widget version would be wonderful!

Just updated to 1.0.5 which adds non-widget support. Read the readme.txt for instructions on how to use it.

I’m trying to add my username in the admin panel, but whenever I do, it tells me “Please enter correct username.”

Is it because it has weird characters? (My last.fm username is “trash___”)

An update has been sent out to fix the major user issue. I feel like an idiot.

Hey again,

tried to install version 1.0.8, but even though I created a cache folder at ‘/wp-content/lastfmcache/’ with CHMOD of 0755, like it told me to, it still comes up with the same warnings:

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /www/htdocs/w00a2095/blog/wp-content/plugins/lastfmartists/lastfm.php on line 406

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /www/htdocs/w00a2095/blog/wp-content/plugins/lastfmartists/lastfm.php on line 299

What am I doing wrong here?

hello !

been all over the wordpress plugins and google trying to find a wordpress plugin for last.fm that is supported by php 4. i see from the wordpress plugin page for this that it requires php 5, is there any previous versions that support php4 or can you point me in the right direction of a plugin that does? i am hoping to have it display artist picture or album artwork for my weekly top artists…

any help is appreciated!
thanx!

I believe I have installed the plugin successful. However, there is this message I am getting instead of the actually images:

” No images to display. The feed is down. ”

What exactly does this mean? How can I fix this?
Thanks so much.

The “No images to display. The feed is down.” means that there is nothing in the feed. If you’re newly registered, then it would take about a week for the feed to be populated. If you’re not newly registered, then check your user name, make sure it’s typed correctly and that there are no extra spaces.

As for support for php4, I know of no other plugin that does this and support php4. I recommend asking your host to upgrade to php5 as php5 is widely supported now.
