Audioscrobbler integration with user profile
 

No longer supported by the author.

Oh, and if you do install it... please click "Install" as I will send updates if any major changes are made :)

Hmmm... no installs.

For those of you who have music related forums, etc... is there something that you think I'm missing? Or is it the dependency on PEAR modules that puts you off?

If people don't want this... cool... but if people do want this and just don't like my implementation, please feedback how you'd like such a thing to work and I'll consider changes, etc.

Well just found this hack got to say it looks promising, only problem is I can't install those PEAR modules on my server, since I am on a shared server, so I can check out this hack :(

Well PEAR modules are usually installed as part Cpanel or something.

But you can download them from the PEAR site (links provided in hack), and then place them where you wish and just modify the two lines that are commented as including the PEAR files.

PEAR modules are merely .php files, so there's no problem in installing them... it's just that normally you have a global install and everything points at them... meaning you don't have to worry about keeping them up to date, etc. But copying them relative to the hack will also work too :)

Oh, and the two lines are within the audioscrobbler.php file :)

thanks, will try it out tomorrow and let you know how i get on :)

Moved it to full release. It's been running on my server now for over a month with no issues :)

This hack is exactly what i need for my forum! Many thanks for your work, buro9!
However, some help required.
I need to check this hack on my localhost test forum install. I used WAMP for installation on windows. Can you explain me how to install those two components, required for your hack to work?

If you don't have any PEAR components installed then you should download the PEAR installer.

It's rather simple... go to this URL:
http://go-pear.org/

And save that text as go-pear.php on your desktop.

Then open a CMD line window and do:
php go-pear.php

This is documented on the PEAR site here:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.getting.php

And then you can use their command line installer to install the packages:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/installation.cli.php

Then you can run the following from the command line:
pear install <package>

Where <package> is XML_RSS and CacheLite

Most shared hosts have PEAR installed, and PHP installs Pear too... so you might actually just want to check whether PEAR is already installed ;)
