Textpattern Support Forum

All mine ever says is “not listening to music” :(

Eh… forget that last post…

I have a feature request for this…
Instead of returning the notlisteningmessage, I wish there was a “not listening image” or were able to output a different form if there was no music playing.

Try this, see if it helps (change your username and cache options)

Here is the call from the page template:
<code><txp:rmc_audioscrobbler username=“USERNAME” cachepath=“as_cache” cacheage=“1” limit=“10” form=“audio_center” notlisteningmessage=“Either Audioscrobbler is sucking or I’m not listening to music right now.” notworkingmessage=“Audioscrobbler is sucking at the moment. Please refresh the page.” /></code>

This is my form (type = misc)
<code><li><txp:as_link><txp:author /> – <txp:title /></txp:as_link></li></code>

RSL: paularms is using my other audioscrobbler plugin. I’ve just noticed a bug in the documentation, where is says that txp:link should be used you should use txp:permlink instead. My bad, sorry. Try using this:

In your page template:

<ul>
<txp:bsl_audioscrobbler username="USERNAME" form="audioscrobbler" cachepath="./as_cache" />
</ul>

And your audioscrobbler form:

<li><txp:permlink><txp:title /> by <txp:author /></txp:permlink></li>

Paul: your wish is my command :p I’ve updated both audioscrobbler plugins, they now both support the attributes notlisteningform and notworkingform. You can get them from my website

Paul,

If you’re having problems with the rmc_audioscrobbler plugin, here’s why: I uploaded the file before I’d actually finished updateing it completely, please download and install it again (it’s what happens at 3am after a beer or two). Also, I’m a bit confused on which plugin you’re using in one post you seem to be using one plugin and in the next the other. I’ve doublechecked the bsl_audioscrobbler plugin and everything seems alright.

I wasn’t really planning on maintaining bsl_audioscrobbler, but as I’d made a mistake documenting a tag and the modification was only adding 4 lines of code I updated it as well.
rmc_audioscrobbler is the better of the two, even though the CD covers don’t always correspond to the song that was played, at least it shows some kind of image. Apart from that, rmc_audioscrobbler code is a bit cleaner and it’s easier to add features to cleaner code ;)
