Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] it_ituneswin: iTunes for Windows Official Release

cool got it working. that attribute name is what i needed.

however, it keeps defaulting to ‘Not Playing’ … is there an update to the parser code?


thanks,

p.s. the xml file is making it to the server correctly, and is displaying the correct information: http://xenlab.ezrpm.com/now_playing.xml

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] it_ituneswin: iTunes for Windows Official Release

well, i have updated the plugin with the parser code from Brandon’s fuller page…

i’ve got a test php page working and formatting like i like: http://xenlab.ezrpm.com/test.php

however, when moving this code into the body of the plugin, it doesn’t output anything… how do i turn my php function (based on brandon’s and aaron’s code) into a plugin i can install on my site, and share with others in the future?


thanks,
xenlab

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] it_ituneswin: iTunes for Windows Official Release

first of all, you have it using $xmlfile for the file?

start it off with

<pre>
function fpx_ituneswin($atts)
{ if (is_array($atts)) extract($atts);
</pre>

(you need the name of the function to match that of the plugin)

and when all of the parsing is done, don’t echo the result, “return” it. that should work. to make it into a plugin, use Dean’s plugin template

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] it_ituneswin: iTunes for Windows Official Release

Sorry to be away. Life’s been busy lately. Any questions not answered yet. Note – Brandon has released some updates. Everytime he does, it messes up my plugin, so I’m not sure what the key nodes are now since I haven’t updated to the latest plugin…

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] it_ituneswin: iTunes for Windows Official Release

The current plug-in will only display the last song played, and not the 5 that I have set in the config. I understand that things have been updated some places (the itunes) and not in others (the txp plugin), but does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?

I’m not home tolook at iTunes, but I believe the iTunes plugin allows you to choose how many songs to display. I could be wrong. I just don’t remember.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] it_ituneswin: iTunes for Windows Official Release

Yeah it does, but it still only shows one on the page.

I have it set to output 5 on the itunes plugin, and the xml file shows five entries, but only one is displayed on my site.

Thoughts?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] it_ituneswin: iTunes for Windows Official Release

the plugin is only set up to do one of the entries (in my experience)… you will need to loop over the array to get more output, which means editing the plugin.
