Support » Plugins » Guitar Tuner web site code

  • I really like the online guitar tuner at http://www.gieson.com/Library/projects/utilities/tuner/ and he offers code and a swf file for those who’d like to add it to their own web sites. However, I lack the skills to figure out how to adapt that code so that it’ll work in a WordPress page.

    Here’s the code:

    <!-- END GUITAR TUNER CODE -->

    Any ideas? Is this do-able without excessive effort?

    One way is to create a simple shortcode plugin.

    Here’s a step-by step method (not fully tested, but seems to work OK for me)

    1. Download the package on the right-hand sidebar of the link you gave & extract the zip to your desktop
    2. Use your ftp app to connect to your wp-content/plugins directory
    3. Create a new folder within your plugins directory called ’embed-wimpyplayer-guitartuner’
    4. upload the tuner24.swf from the extracted zip to the new folder
    5. create a new text file in the folder called guitar-tuner.php & copy in the code below
    6. <?php
      /*
      Plugin Name: Embed Wimpyplayer Guitar Tuner
      Description: Embeds guitar tuner from http://www.wimpyplayer.com using [guitartuner] shortcode

      function cc_guitartuner( $atts, $content = null ) {

      }
      
      add_shortcode('guitartuner', 'cc_guitartuner');
    7. In WordPress admin -> plugins activate the new ‘Embed Wimpyplayer Guitar Tuner’ plugin
    8. add a [guitartuner] shortcode to your post or page where you want the tuner to appear
