Back from my holiday in Germany (very nice, thank you). I’ve updated Run for cover to version 2.0.1 2.0.2 2.0.3, slightly less in beta now. It’s running in the sidebar. Changes made:
- make it work in IE
- option to show album title and artist next to image
- option to use it with lightbox plugin (not included)
I’ll be answering some of the questions in the comments later, but now it’s Sunday evening and I’m off to bed to have a good night of sleep before my first day at work tomorrow.
Welkom! Op deze pagina's vind je meer info over mij en het werk dat ik als zelfstandig programmeur uitvoer (en hier en daar een spelletje).

Hi,
I’ve turned to “Run for cover” (2.0.2) as my host does not provide PHP5 support. I understood that this plugin caters to hosts with PHP4 support. My web host runs IIS with PHP 4.4.8. .
When I tried activating the plugin I got a critical error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in \\SERVER\home\users\thomasvanparys\wp-content\plugins\run-for-cover\runforcover.php on line 196
From a quick look at the code this is due to a “try/catch” construct which is not available in PHP4.
Is this something you could look to solve?
Thanks,
Thomas V.
Thomas, good catch (pun intended)! It’s fixed in 2.0.3, I just published it.
Hi again,
I’ve commented out the offending “try/catch” and tried again. This time it correctly activates but then there’s a javascript error stating: RunForCover is not defined. This occurs around when the jQuery is fired.
All the best,
Thomas Vanparys
Even I am facing the same problem. The firefox error console says RunForCover is not defined. Can you fix it?
Thomas, Anuvrat, I have sent my working copy to the WordPress page at
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/run-for-cover/download/
You can try downloading the development version. Still a bit rough, it works ok I guess. It displays an image of the artist if no cd cover was found. I look forward to hear from you if it works for you!
Love run-for-cover, but like others got the RunForCover not found error. seems this was due to the javascript file not being in the place where the widget was looking. I copied the js file to my plugins folder. All is good now.
Now I’m looking for a new web host – one who offers PHP 5
