Apple Movie Trailer Wordpress Widget

erich February 13th, 2007

I found another great widget, which displays a random Apple Movie trailer, complete with movie poster.

Sadly, I ran into exactly the same problem that I did with the APOD widget - use of url file access functions is strictly verboten on my web host. So, here is the modded version of the widget to use cURL:

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
  1. <?php
  2. /*
  3. Plugin Name: Apple Trailer Sidebar Widget
  4. Description: Adds a sidebar widget that shows the latest movie trailers from apple.com
  5. Author: Patrick Queisler
  6. Version: 1.1
  7. Author URI: http://www.sosuechtig.de
  9. Version 1.1 - Erich Beyrent [http://www.beyrent.net]: added cURL functions to fetch the data from Apple
