WordPress Plugin – Radio Station


Description

Radio Station is a plugin to run a radio station’s website. It’s functionality is based on Drupal 6’s Station plugin, reworked for use in WordPress. The plugin includes the ability to associate users with “shows” (schedulable blocks of time that contain a description, and other meta information), and generate playlists associated with those shows. The plugin contains a widget to display the currently on-air DJ with a link to the DJ’s show and current playlist. A schedule of all shows can also be generated.

Frequently Asked Questions

[accordions]
[accordion title=”I’m seeing 404 Not Found errors when I click on the link for a show!”]
Try re-saving your site’s permalink settings. WordPress sometimes gets confused with a custom post type is added.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”My Shows don’t have a place to add a featured image. Is the plugin broken?”]
No. This is usually a theme issue.

It may be that you don’t have post thumbnails enabled in your theme, or the theme you’re using enables them only for specific post types. Check your theme’s
functions.php file and see if there is a line that looks like this:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

If not, you’ll need to add that line in to enable featured images. You may also see something like this:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'page' ) );

If that’s the case, your theme is enabling featured images selectively, and you can turn them on for Shows by adding “show” to the array, like this:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post', 'page', 'show' ) );
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”How do I schedule a show?”]
Simply create a new show. You will be able to aside it to any timeslot you wish on the edit page.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”What if I have a special event?”]
If you have a one-off event that you need to show up in the On-Air or Coming Up Next widgets, you can create a Schedule Override by clicking the Schedule Override tab
in the Dashboard menu. This will allow you to set aside a block of time on a specific date, and will display the title you give it in the widgets. Please note that
this will only override the widgets and their corresponding shortcodes. If you are using the weekly master schedule shortcode on a page, its output will not be altered.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”How do I display a full schedule of my station’s shows?”]
Use the shortcode [master-schedule] on any page. This will generate a table containing your show details.

The following attributes are available for the shortcode:
‘list’ => If set to a value of ‘list’, the schedule will display in list format rather than table or div format. Valid values are ‘list’, ‘divs’, ‘table’.  Default value is ‘table’.
‘time’ => The time format you with to use.  Valid values are 12 and 24.  Default is 12.
‘show_link’ => Display the title of the show as a link to its profile page.  Valid values are 0 for hide, 1 for show.  Default is 1.
‘display_show_time’ => Display start and end times of each show after the title in the grid.  Valid values are 0 for hide, 1 for show.  Default is 1.
‘show_image’ => If set to a value of 1, the show’s avatar will be displayed.  Default value is 0.
‘show_djs’ => If set to a value of 1, the names of the show’s DJs will be displayed.  Default value is 0.
‘divheight’ => Set the height, in pixels, of the individual divs in the ‘divs’ layout.  Default is 45.
‘single_day’ => Display schedule for only a single day of the week.  Only works if you are using the ‘list’ format.  Valid values are sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday.

For example, if you wish to use 24-hour time format, use [master-schedule time="24"].    If you want to only show Sunday’s schedule, use [master-schedule list="list" single_day="sunday"].
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”How do I get the last song played to show up?”]
You’ll find a widget for just that purpose under the Widgets tab. You can also use the shortcode [now-playing] in your page/post, or use do_shortcode('[now-playing]'); in your template files.

The following attributes are available for the shortcode:
‘title’ => The title you would like to appear over the now playing block
‘artist’ => Display artist name. Valid values are 0 for hide, 1 for show. Default is 1.
‘song’ => Display song name. Valid values are 0 for hide, 1 for show. Default is 1.
‘album’ => Display album name. Valid values are 0 for hide, 1 for show. Default is 0.
‘label’ => Display label name. Valid values are 0 for hide, 1 for show. Default is 0.
‘comments’ => Display DJ comments. Valid values are 0 for hide, 1 for show. Default is 0.

Example:

[now-playing title="Current Song" artist="1" song="1" album="1" label="1" comments="0"]

[/accordion]
[accordion title=”What about displaying the current DJ on air?”]
You’ll find a widget for just that purpose under the Widgets tab. You can also use the shortcode [dj-widget] in your page/post, or you can use

do_shortcode('[dj-widget]');

in your template files.

The following attributes are available for the shortcode:
‘title’ => The title you would like to appear over the on-air block
‘display_djs’ => Display the names of the DJs on the show.  Valid values are 0 for hide names, 1 for show names.  Default is 0.
‘show_avatar’ => Display a show’s thumbnail. Valid values are 0 for hide avatar, 1 for show avatar. Default is 0.
‘show_link’ => Display a link to a show’s page. Valid values are 0 for hide link, 1 for show link. Default is 0.
‘default_name’ => The text you would like to display when no show is schedule for the current time.
‘time’ => The time format used for displaying schedules. Valid values are 12 and 24. Default is 12.
‘show_sched’ => Display the show’s schedules. Valid values are 0 for hide schedule, 1 for show schedule. Default is 1.

[/accordion]
[accordion title=”Can I display upcoming shows, too?”]
You’ll find a widget for just that purpose under the Widgets tab. You can also use the shortcode [dj-coming-up-widget] in your page/post, or you can use

echo do_shortcode('[dj-coming-up-widget]');

in your template files.

The following attributes are available for the shortcode:

‘display_djs’ => Display the names of the DJs on the show.  Valid values are 0 for hide names, 1 for show names.  Default is 0.

‘limit’ => The number of upcoming shows to display. Default is 1.
‘time’ => The time format used for displaying schedules. Valid values are 12 and 24. Default is 12.

Example:

[dj-widget title="Coming Up On-Air" display_dj="1" show_avatar="1" show_link="1" limit="3" time="12" schow_sched="1"]

Can I change how show pages are laid out/displayed?

Yes. Copy the radio-station/templates/single-show.php file into your theme directory, and alter as you wish. This template, and all of the other templates in this plugin, are based on the TwentyEleven theme. If you’re using a different theme, you may have to rework them to reflect your theme’s layout.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”What about playlist pages?”]
Same deal as the previous question. Grab the radio-station/templates/single-playlist.php file, copy it to your theme directory, and go to town.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”And playlist archive pages?”]
Same as above. Grab the radio-station/templates/archive-playlist.php file, copy it to your theme directory, and go to town.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”And the program schedule, too?”]
Because of the complexity of outputting the data, you can’t directly alter the template, but you can copy the radio-station/templates/program-schedule.css file into your theme directory and change the CSS rules for the page.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”What if I want to style the DJ on air sidebar widget?”]
Copy the radio-station/templates/djonair.css file to your theme directory.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”How do I get an archive page that lists ALL of the playlists instead of just the archives of individual shows?”]
First, grab the radio-station/templates/playlist-archive-template.php file, and copy it to your active theme directory. Then, create a Page in wordpress to hold the playlist archive. Under Page Attributes, set the template to Playlist Archive. Please note: If you don’t copy the template file to your theme first, the option to select it will not appear.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”Can show pages link to an archive of related blog posts?”]
Yes, in much the same way as the full playlist archive described above. First, grab the radio-station/templates/show-blog-archive-template.php file, and copy it to your active theme directory. Then, create a Page in wordpress to hold the blog archive. Under Page Attributes, set the template to Show Blog Archive.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”How can I list all of my shows?”]
Use the shortcode [list-shows] in your page/posts or use do_shortcode(['list-shows']); in your template files. This will output an unordered list element containing the titles of and links to all shows marked as “Active”.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”I need users other than just the Administrator and DJ roles to have access to the Shows and Playlists post types. How do I do that?”]
Since I’m stongly opposed to reinventing the wheel, I recommend Justin Tadlock’s excellent “Members” plugin for that purpose. You can find it on WordPress.org, here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/

Add the following capabilities to any role you want to give access to Shows and Playlist:

edit_shows
edit_published_shows
edit_others_shows
read_shows
edit_playlists
edit_published_playlists
read_playlists
publish_playlists
read
upload_files
edit_posts
edit_published_posts
publish_posts

If you want the new role to be able to create or approve new shows, you should also give them the following capabilities:

publish_shows
edit_others_shows
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”How do I change the DJ’s avatar in the sidebar widget?”]
The avatar is whatever image is assigned as the DJ/Show’s featured image. All you have to do is set a new featured image.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”Why don’t any users show up in the DJs list on the Show edit page?”]
You did remember to assign the DJ role to the users you want to be DJs, right?
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”My DJs can’t edit a show page. What do I do?”]
The only DJs that can edit a show are the ones listed as being ON that show in the DJs select menu. This is to prevent DJs from editing other DJs shows without permission.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”How can I export a list of songs played on a given date?”]
Under the Playlists menu in the dashboard is an Export link. Simply specify the a date range, and a text file will be generated for you.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”Can my DJ’s have customized user profile pages in addition to Show pages?”]
Yes. These pages are the same as any other author page (edit or create the author.php template file in your theme directory). A sample can be found in the radio-station/templates/author.php file. Like the other theme templates included with this plugin, this file is based on the TwentyEleven theme.
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”I don’t want to use Gravatar for my DJ’s image on their user profile page.”]
Then you’ll need to install a plugin that lets you add a different image to your DJ’s user account and edit your author.php theme file accordingly. That’s a little out of the scope of this plugin. I recommend Cimy User Extra Fields: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cimy-user-extra-fields/
[/accordion]
[accordion title=”What languages other than English is the plugin available in?”]
Right now:

Albanian (sq_AL)
French (fr_FR)
German (de_DE)
Italian (it_IT)
Russion (ru_RU)
Serbian (sr_RS)
Spanish (es_ES)
Catalan (ca)

[/accordion]
[accordion title=”Can you translate the plugin into my language?”]
My foreign language skills are rather lacking. I managed a Spanish translation, sheerly due to the fact that I still remember at least some of what I learned in high school Spanish class. But I’ve included the .pot file in the /languages directory. If you want to give it a shot, be my guest. If you send me your finished translation, I’d love to include it.

    Hi Nikki,

    looks interesting but very complicated compared to DJ rotator.

    Would you be so kind as to list all the shortcodes please? That may help.

    thanks,

    Hi Nikki,

    I am using this great widget. Thank you for creating it! On some occasions we have multiple programmes per hour, i.e. x2 programmes at 30 minutes each. However, the schedule will only display the first show and not the second. Is there a workaround or fix for this?

    Can I just say…Top plugin. We use it on our site and (bar a few graphical updates we need to make) it does what it needs to do very very well. Thank you 🙂

    I have had a couple of questions but nothing that a quick flick through the documentation or this forum hasn’t solved. Again thanks a bunch!

    I had an issue with the shows schedule times for current day displaying in the “on-air” widget.

    its just dosen’t display anything when multiple shows isn’t selected in the widget setting and I tested it $current_sched = station_current_schedule($scheds); in widget_djonair.php wasn’t returning anything , so maybe an error in station_current_schedule function.

    I made a work around but just though I would mention it, it could possibly be some sort of date issue on my end.

    But great plugin.

    Hi,

    I’m having an issue with my schedule displaying in the page.

    My schedule doesn’t fit in your responsive view, so i’d like to switch list mode when I into mobile view

    Basically, I’d like to switch from list=”table” to list=”list” when I switch to the smallest resolution.

    Do you have a quick way to do so?

    Thank you and good work with the plugin!

      You would apply custom CSS in the WordPress Customizer where you can add to the Additional CSS module. Use the Chrome inspector to find the class and then set the style to override the plugin styles.

      Only in the widgets can you change the avatar size for a widget. For the Featured Image for the show, you either set the size of the Avatar in your image editor or use the media library image editor. You can also use the Chrome inspector to find the image and try to set the size for the class with CSS.

      We released an update with a size feature for avatars in widgets. I believe it was in 2.2.4 that was enabled. Check the widgets and you’ll see a text field where you can enter a numerical value.

  14. You have a great plugin. I need to show 2 schedules for 2 stations which are in simulcast most of the day, but do seperate for several hours. I tried creating genres as each station but that didn’t work.IS there a way to have the plugin handle schedules for 2 stations?

      We just took over this plugin in June and haven’t considered this as an option…yet. We would probably hold out on something like this for a Pro version. In the WordPress universe, the base free plugin usually has core features that are considered nonnegotiable and must stay free, but if you want something like adding a second Show post type and printing a second calendar to a page, that would have to be built in and I think we’d see that in some kind of upgrade.

      I do appreciate your request and I would love to support it under a free version, but we’re doing this without compensation, so we have to pick and choose what’s the priority and we have to think about the value add for an upgrade, so that we can quit our jobs and work on this full time.

      That’s not on our roadmap. It’s the only use case I’ve heard so far since taking over the plugin in June for a printable version. I believe there are WordPress plugins that can convert a page to PDF for printing, so that’s probably the only way you’re going to get a printed schedule at this time. We would add something like that in a future Pro version if enough people requested it.

      You cannot stream a radio station just yet. You can use Online Radio Box with your shoutcast or icecast stream for that for now. We are working on a sticky HTML5 audio player that can appear in the footer or on the side of the page (left or right). But that is months away.

    I have been testing your plug in on my automated online radio station and I have a quick question. It seems that the playlist info needs to me manually entered. Does the Plugin automatically retrieve any song data from anywhere or is it all manual?

    • Tony Zeoli says:

      Unfortunately, it’s manual. There are many different radio station automation software packages out there. Some are desktop apps. Others are software as a service. We are looking into publishing the master calendar from the open source LibreTime into the plugin. We are also looking into grabbing the playlists, as well. But that’s only one software package. What are you using? Airtime? Station Playlist?
