sab_NowPlaying version .6 already!

Alrighty,

It has all the great functionality as before now with polish! http://www.bluecamel.org/software/textpattern/sab_NowPlaying.txt

Added:

• Ability to show any element outside the normal loop
• Show the last time the file was updated 3 different ways:
  1. Original timestamp (looks computer-ie)
  2. Formatted any way you like, using the format codes listed here
  3. Time elapsed since “now”, for example (“5 minutes and 10 seconds ago”).

Reference:
<txp:sab_NowPlaying />

• show=ANYEXISTINGTAG – This is if you want to display an element outside the main loop.
• *show=“LASTUPDATED” – Use this to display the date and time you last played something. If you use this option you also have a couple other attributes you can specify:
  <ul>
• dateformat= – This is a date format string. It generally will look something like “F j, Y, g:i a”, to your discression. The “codes” for this can be found here .
• fromnow={0|1} – Used if you want to return the time elapsed since you last played a file. This will return something like, “10 hours, 4 minutes and 43 seconds”.
  </ul>
• urlonly={0|1} – if you want to show the album art (“show=‘IMAGE’), this will only return the URL to the image instead of creating the entire <code><IMG src=”“ alt=”“ /></code> tag. Used for setting the block background, for example.
• link={amazon|apple|source} – This isn’t new but it can also be used here. Use this attribute if you want to create the <code><IMG src=”“ alt=”“ /></code> tag surrounded by a link to Amazon, Apple, or Source(?).

For example, I list 5 of my last songs in the XML file, but I want to only display the very last song’s album’s cover art. I use this code in my form: <pre> <code> <div class=“body” id=“recentlyplayed”> <div class=“albumCover”> Updated <txp:sab_NowPlaying xmlfile=“itunes.xml” show=“lastupdated” fromnow=“1” /> ago <br /> <txp:sab_NowPlaying xmlfile=“itunes.xml” show=“image” idx=“1” alt=“Currently listing to…” link=“amazon” /> </div> <br /> <ul id=“itunes”> <txp:sab_NowPlaying xmlfile=“itunes.xml” form=“now_listening” /> </ul> <br /> <p class=“center”> <a href=“http://brandon.fuller.name/archives/hacks/nowplaying/”> <img src=“http://brandon.fuller.name/images/now_playing.png” alt=“Now Playing” /> </a> </p> </div> </code> </pre>

Any questions?

-Steve
