last.fm records

Last.Fm Records connects to your last.fm listening data, and displays the cd covers on your site. This plugin doesn’t ask for your password, and it never will.

Download

How can I show my music? Let me count the ways.

You have three ways of displaying the cd covers.

1. widget

If the theme you use on your self hosted WordPress site supports widgets, you can follow these simple steps:

1. Install the plugin in WordPress and activate it.
2. Set your last.fm username in the settings of the plugin.
3. Drag the widget into one of your sidebars and set a title for the widget.

2. shortcode

WordPress makes it easy to add extra content to you posts and pages by using shortcodes. This plugin adds the shortcode

[lastfmrecords]

. So if you add this next example

[lastfmrecords period="topalbumsoverall" count="4" imgwidth="60" stylesheet="hover"]

the result is

For a complete list of options, see the Other Notes tab at the download page of the plugin.

3. jQuery plugin

The cool code for the cool boys and girls. Include jQuery, and the ‘last.fm.records.js’ file from the plugin zip, and start using it everywhere. You can find some example code here. The options for the plugin are exactly the same as the options for the WordPress shortcode.
