Excellent, glad to hear it’s working! Good catch on the user field, I definitely need to make that more clear. I’ve love to see a link to it in action if you don’t mind.

I don’t think it would be too difficult to add more fields. Sorting is slightly more involved, but I’ve been hoping to change the plugin to use the API instead of the RSS feed anyway. If I get that working you’d be able to choose how to sort the books retrieved from a given shelf (I’m also hoping it will solve a different problem I’ve been having).

It will likely take a bit for me to get to it though – it’s certainly made the project list. I just do this as a hobby and this has been a real learning experience for me, so I appreciate your kindness and patience!

I put it in a couple different places in a template and was able to get code to display – make sure you’re putting the code outside The Loop.

I’m assuming you’ve already set it up to pull books from your account and you’ve got some on the shelf it’s using. You can test that this is working by viewing the Goodreads RSS feed for that shelf.

That’s basically it, it’s in sidebar.php and wrapped in a bit of HTML for styling.

<li id="booktuner">
		<h2>Reading</h2>
		<div class="booktuner-books">
            <ul>
                <?php if(function_exists('booktuner')) { booktuner(); } ?>
            </ul>
		</div>
        <a class="booktuner" href="https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1874313"><span>Goodreads</span></a>
    </li>

Where do you want to put it?

Certainly. In sidebar.php I have the following:

<?php if(function_exists('booktuner')) { booktuner(); } ?>

Hey,

Sorry it’s not working for you – as you might have guessed I’m very new to this. On my own site, I have the code in sidebar.php and that works ok. I take it when you say it isn’t working nothing is displaying at all, right? Are you getting anything in your admin page?

D’oh on the FAQ, I thought I had corrected all of those but clearly not. As for the widget and shortcode, to be honest I haven’t done it because I don’t know enough about how to code those yet. Perhaps let’s see if we can get it working with the php code first?

I guess I’m the only one having this issue? Bother.

Unfortunately, that link solves the problem many people have with not being able to receive pingbacks (that custom function). The poster is unable to solve the problem the rest of us are having, which is that we cannot actually send the pingbacks unless we manually do it via the trackback field (appending /trackback to the permalink).

This is happening to me as well; I have seen dozens of topics on this around the web but no solutions yet. I’m using 2.7.1

WordPress 2.7.1, same issue. Could this be theme-specific? I see a number of other sites running the latest version sending and receiving trackbacks.
