WordPress Plugin – Radio Station
Description
This Page is for Archival Purposes Only. Development of the Radio Station Plugin has been taken over by Tony Zeoli.
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.

Hi Nikki.
Your plugin has caught my eye, i recently purchased a theme called soundwave which i have set up on wordpress using a wamp server before i transfer it to a server.
I have tried to use your plugin but the output are all messed up in the soundwave theme.
Can this be intergrated together.
Sorry it might be a silly question but im a newbie at this
Thanks
You will need to add your own CSS rules to integrate it with your theme. All output from Radio Station provides the necessary id and class names for styling.
You will probably have to create custom template files for shows/playlists as described in the readme file as well.
Hey,
We use your Plugin, and we’re really in love with it, but there’s one big problem.
When I create a new Show and I put in the relevant information, like Day or Time, it does not show the right day in the sidebar widget. How can I fix that?
Thanks,
Marco
EDIT:
IN THE MASTER-SCHEDULE the time is right, so I think it’s a problem of the widget.
Double check your site’s timezone in WordPress settings. If that’s not set correctly, the widgets can’t determine what the current time is.
hello – great plug in. just what we need.
one question – are we able to use a short code or something similar to list all the shows from a genre? Expanding, we have a num bed of different genres, can we just show the shows from one particular genre – as opposed to showing all the shows?
thanks
graham
Yes. The list-shows shortcode will do this, for example:
[list-shows genre=”pop”]
See the plugin’s readme file for more info.
how can i display the radio station in the header of my website that is http://www.kreativestudio.ca/eawaz
The easiest way, if your theme allows widgets in the header, is to just assign one of the Radio Station plugin widgets to the appropriate area.
Alternatively, you can insert a widget directly into any template file with:
echo do_shortcode(‘[shortcode]’);
Hey Nikki, Love the Plugin!! Our Station uses the Schedule Override quite alot. Any chance you could add a featured image to display along with the title in the on air and coming up next widgets? Thanks in advance.
I can definitely look at doing that, as time permits. It’s been a busy few months, and I haven’t had much time to devote to new features. 🙂
Hi Nikki
Installing this onto a radio station website, and think its a great tool, however I don’t seem to be able to get the data live.
I have shows loaded to the schedule, but they do not show:
http://79.170.40.237/horizon.fm/on-air/schedule/
Any idea?
Regards
Spencer
Did you remember to check the “Active” checkbox for each show? If a show is not marked active, the plugin assumes that it’s not currently in production and hides it on the grid.
Nikki thank you!
Sorry for asking such an obvious question, but yes, that was it!
Still learning this brilliant bit of kit!
Regards
Spencer
Hi Nikki, thanks for creating the radio station plug in. I have one problem, I did not add any DJ’s at start up and now I need to do that. How can I add DJ’s. I’ve tried deleting the plugin and re-installing but it seems to save the original content. Please help.
DJs are just WordPress users that have been given the DJ role in their account settings.
Hi Nikki,
I am interested in using the shows feature of your plugin. I have installed and setup shows that run in daily time slots. I am using the Show/DJ On-Air widget that comes with the plugin, but from what I can tell it seems like it is showing the show/dj upcoming instead of the on-air. Any reason that this might be happening?
Hi again,
Please disregard my last comment. After some digging, I realized that I did not set the timezone setting to my local time for my site. Changing this corrected the display of the shows. Thanks for the great plugin!
Basically i m working for someone website they have a link of their radio station how can i use that link within your plugin so your plugin plays directly from their link
Hi there
I am translating Radio Station-plugin to Finnish but how i can get that work? i have done PO and MO -files with poedit and uploaded those to language folder? i need to check translation before i send it to You.. 🙂
other thing is that how i can get master-schedule to start time 08am and end time 07am? link to schedule: http://kaupunkiradio.fi/?page_id=1343
t:-j
i found it.. I needed to do radio-station-fi.mo and .po files instead radio-station-fi_FI.mo and .po..
next step is to find out how to get master-schedule start from 08?
How can I use the 24 hour time format in the single show template? Wenn i use the 24 hour format in the single-show.php it shows me only the time as shown:
00:00 – 11:59 (12:00)
I can’t find the code for let me show the time from 0-24 as in the master schedule
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,
Ian
i want to show my event by the day
ex
if today is sunday => show the sunday events
how can i do it
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?
After activated, error line came up:Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/showme/public_html/mywebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/radio-station/radio-station.php on line 204
hi Nikki Blight i am building a radio website using your plugin please show a proper tutorial on how i will go about i have checked you tube but there is no video
We at Impala Radio love this Plugin.
Absolutely brilliant and straight forward.
Thank you so much Nikki.
Hi i don’t know much about css or coding, but i want to know how ca i style the on air widget, i don’t know exactly where i have to copy the css in my theme directory, i put it with the rest of css files but nothing happens. Another thing is please take care about this excellent plug-gin because there is nothing like this in the market and there are many peoples looking for something like this, i would like to style mi dj on air widget for now. Thanks
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!
I love the plugin but I’m having a little problem with the schedule display.
I used the shortcode [master-schedule time=”24″ ]
For some reason the shows are showing on the wrong day.
Monday is the first column but shows scheduled for e.g. Wednesday are showing in the “Tuesday” column.
have checked the Timezone settings and that is showing correctly “London”, I’ve tried changing it and reverting back again but no joy.
Any help appreciated
Is there something I can do to correct this?
UPDATE: If I change the ‘list’ setting to “list” everything shows on the correct day.
It’s just the “table” view.
Hi!
first let me say great job on this pluggin.
Where exacly do i go to change the color of text on days of the week and times of the shows? see here http://las2potencias.com/programacion/
Thanks alot in advance!
Is there a way to change the size of the avatars in the grid schedule or do I have to upload them in a smaller size when adding the show?
Great plugin BTW Thank you!
Great Plugin, thank you. Is there any way to enlarge the avatar size – currently 50px.
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?
How about a printable version? I have had requests to be able to print the weekly programming schedule
great Plug in, seems to have possibilities. How can I stream a radio station’s existing show via this plug in?
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?
Any updates? At any point? Or is this just a dead project?
