LifeStream WordPress Plugin
Take a look at my first WordPress plugin thats not just customised for a client! Its called LifeStream and it prints a list of your latest activity from Twitter, LastFM and Drawar.
I made a WordPress plugin. I’m calling it LifeStream. I wanted something that prints updates about me on social networks on my site. There are a few Life Stream plugins out there but as an experiment I decided to make my own. At the minute it only integrates with Twitter, LastFM and Drawar.
There was a few challenges involved, namely integrating the feeds into one stream and ensuring the time differences were accounted for. I still need to add caching and I’ll be adding more social network sites to it as I get the time. If you want to edit the styling of the list you can find where its being printed in the functions.php file on lines 42-67. To print out the list add the following code to your template:
<?php get_stream(); ?>
This was put together in a couple of evenings and I haven’t really had the time to test it, but its working fine on my site so if you want to give it a go. You can see it working here.
If you have any suggestions for the next sites to add please leave them in the comments.
