I added this to my functions php to render my own shortcode:

function breakingnews_shortcode() {

	if (in_category( 'breaking' )) :
	do_action('show_bnt');
	endif;

}
add_shortcode( 'breakingnews', 'breakingnews_shortcode' );

Then I put [breakingnews] in to my home page and it doesn’t render anything even when there’s a post in that category.

I’ll go ahead and try this and see how it works, I appreciate the great support and will gladly leave a good rating an review.

Thanks Jason for the thoughts…

I did some googling and forum searching and really couldn’t find anything. It does sound simple in execution and I figured I might reach out to this awesome community.

I figured I could get a code to only execute for a certain post type and just force an update after every publish or initial publish of that post.

I tried reaching out to FeedWordpress and we didn’t get anywhere, not sure if it’s really the issue of the RSS plugin or the meta boxes. I figured this would be a simple band-aid until I make the right fix.

Well here it goes…

I have a theme called “Musik” – Inside of Musik it uses a plugin called Easy Digital Downloads which allows you to sell music (We aren’t using the theme that way) – It also has the plugin Piklist which adds fields to Easy Digital Download like “Preview Media URL” which allows us to put in music so people can play it using an HTML5 player on the website.

I use a plugin called FeedWordPress which automatically pulls an RSS feed of podcast from out account on AudioBoom and sends the mp3 url in to the “preview music url” field that Piklist adds. That works 100%.

If I go to the post and play the audio it will not play UNTIL I hit update on the post and it sends an extra key to the database which I am having problems solving that.

My worst case scenario is to fire off an auto-update after every publish is made in the post type. I am trying to automate all of this and there’s a lot of pieces.

Once a post in published then it will trigger the execution of an update (like if I went to the post right after a publish and hit update) Do it only once.

I am actually using a theme which uses Piklist for metaboxes. I am using an RSS plugin to input an mp3 in this custom metabox. Everything works but I have to click update every time for the mp3’s to register so the player can be able to preview the audio file.

The metabox was made buy someone else. I didn’t know if there was a function I can throw in the fucntions.php to hijack the publish job to make every post update after a publish is called. (this would be a temp fix for now as the dev still needs to fix this issue)

No worries, I just know that a manual ordering method maybe wanted a lot in the future and doing something like the ID listing would work out well, thanks!

Thanks, not the answer I was hoping for but at least it is an answer. I applaud you for taking the time to help me out on this issue. Good to see some great plugin authors helping their users, thanks!

Sadly we have to stick on cloud sites though… ??

Log files show nothing that I can see… I can grab it from WordPress plugin directory and as soon as I do that I get that server error. Then I manually go to the plugins area with the url and then activate it, then I get the server error. I then go to the plugin settings where it tries to load and hangs. The whole site goes slow as well.. Deactivate and we are golden…

Odd…

The Following DB was created

3wp_broadcast_broadcastdata
id
blog_id
post_id
data

Yes we are using Rackspace Cloud Sites and haven’t had any errors like this before with the 25 website we have… Actually I never seen this error before.

When activate I can’t even get in to my admin area at all. I delete the folder in the plugins folder and the website comes back.

We are doing a multisite for a radio station network and this is a make or break plugin right now for us to use WordPress.

@ti2m Are you sharing any test builds that I can test? I have some simple animations on a website and would like to see if this will work…

Any luck on the OAM patch or dev version that works with the new OAM files? Would love to get this working on my website.
