Forums

November 30, 2007

As you probably noticed, I added a forum to this blog :) . So now I think it would be best for everyone to post in if you need help with a plugin.

I cut into four categories:

  1. Shoutbox
  2. Deezer
  3. Picasa
  4. Marquee

Use the comments section only for comments or trackbacks, please ;) . The forum is more convenient to share information, tips and tricks.

Picasa slideshow for WordPress 2.x

October 19, 2007

Picasa-for-Wordpress Once again, I was looking for a Picasa plugin for my wife but I have found none that met my needs. So I write this WordPress plugin for easy use as a widget :) . I let you discover for yourself. As usual it is XHTML compliant.

So how to use it?

  1. Download Picasa
  2. Install
  3. Once the scanned images, make your selection of images
  4. Click the button "Web Album"
  5. "Create a new web album" with your own settings
  6. Click "Ok", the album will be uploaded on Picasa
  7. When finished, click "View online", Picasa will open your default browser and direct you to your album
  8. In your album copy the RSS link address (in the bottom right corner)
  9. Upload the contents of the archive picasa.zip das your wp-content/plugins
  10. In the WordPress administration interface, go to Plugins and activate the plugin Picasa SlideShow
  11. Go to Theme -> Widgets and create the number you want Slideshow
  12. Remove the / the plugin (s) where you want
  13. Click on its properties, and add the title of your slideshow, the RSS link to your album you copied earlier. Adjust the settings as required.

TIPS: I found by searching through the API documentation of Picasa two more parameters (that I have not yet implemented). It's max-results and start-index. Imagine you have an album of 100 photos but want to display only the first forty, then you could use & max-results = 40 at the end of your RSS feed. Example: http://url/albumid/1234567890123456789?kind=photo&alt=rss&hl=en_US&max-results=40

Now, imagine you want to start your slideshow from the third photo. Then you add the parameter & start-index = 3. Example: http://url/albumid/1234567890123456789?kind=photo&alt=rss&hl=en_US&start-index=3

Be aware that there is a small bug in the flash drive and the first two photos will never be displayed : ( . Of course you can combine these two parameters ;) . Have fun!

  • 20-10-2007 version 1.1:
    Some cleaning in the code, the transformation in textarea input, renaming the label Slideshow to RSS more clear.
  • 13-02-2009 version 1.2:
    I deleted the color table because it was causing some problems with the new Ajax interface "widgets administration. I added the ability to use the plugin in your own language through files in PO / MO. Ability to display one or more slide (s) only to registered users.

For questions, bugs and technical aspects, head instead to the Forum .

Deezer player for Wordpress 2.x

August 24, 2007

Deezer I been looking for an MP3 player for my daughter's blog without the problems of copyright on the music and today I found it. Deezer . So I quickly wrote a WordPress plugin for easy use as widget :) . I let you discover for yourself. As usual it is XHTML compliant. I did not implemented on my blog because I always use the WP version 1.5.1.3 ...

So how to use it?

  1. Go to Deezer and create an account
  2. Create a playlist
  3. Looking for music to add to your playlist
  4. When done click "Embed ..."
  5. You will see in the code that will appear a line like this <param name= »movie "value= »http://www.deezer.com/embed/player?pid= 3903340 &ap=0&ln=fr&sl=1"> < / param>
  6. Note the parameter p id (3903340 in the example)
  7. Deezer.php upload the file into your wp-content/plugins
  8. In the WordPress administration interface, go to Plugins and activate the plugin Deezer
  9. Go to Theme -> Widgets and drop the plugin where you want
  10. Click on these properties, and add the title of your drive, the id of your playlist, as you noted before. Choose your language (currently there are only English and French), the setting for the auto play and transparency of the reader. That's it : D
  • 07-09-2007 version 1.1:
    I added the ability to define the width of your player (the height is automatically adjusted) in the widget properties. You can choose your unit in px or%.
  • 27-11-2007 version 1.2:
    I added the ability to use (or non) transparency to the reader through the widget interface.
  • 24-11-2009 version 1.3:
    Well I just dropped this plugin but occasionally I can give, even when changes ;) . So, for once, I reduced the code because I like the reader implements is the playlist, I did not need to change its size. It is hard to define now 180px wide by 220px high. it will avoid unnecessary re-dimension (which again, for some reason I do not understand, regularly did not work). Also, I deleted the Path parameter that no longer exists on Deezer :) .
    PS. Warning please note the id parameter of your player before updating from version 1.x because it is not conserved ;) .

For questions, bugs and technical aspects, head instead to the Forum .

English and American users: customize the translation of wordspew your needs

August 25, 2006

If you want to adapt a few sentences in the plugin wordspew (because I made ​​a mistake in translation or it does not correspond to your expectations), download the language file below, edit the file and upload it wordspew en_US.mo-in wordspew your directory. If you are an Englishman, do the same thing but do not forget to rename your file wordspew-en_UK.mo before the upload directory wordspew ;) .

If all sentences of the plugin wordspew are good for you, you do not need to download this file! In its current state, the language file contains exactly the same sentences as in the php files. This allows you just to not have to edit php files and allow you to add some fun to your translation ;) ...

As I describe in the ticket AJAX shoutbox, you can change the translation using a PO file editor such as:

  • KBabel (Linux) should be available as a package in Linux distributions, you simply install the package.
  • poEdit (Linux / Windows) available http://www.poedit.net/
en-US
