Add your own! Please let me know about bugs and improper translations you may encounter. * [documentation](http://www.brain-jek.de/wordpress/lastfm-for-artists/) The _format of dates and times_ are part of the translation files. Let me know if this should be another user-editable option. ## Screenshots [⌊Left: A simple unordered list of the upcoming events.

We need the “DOM” section of your phpinfo() show “enabled”- values. There’s an error message like “ERROR: domdocument::domdocument() expects 2 parameter to be long” Disable the `domxml` extension of your php installation. `domxml` is a legacy extension introduced for php4 which lacks cool dom-functions. But in php5 they are built in and – guess what – **incompatible** with the old extension. So we rely on the new bright and shiny built-in functions. Can I use this plugin without a widget? Unfortunately this is not possible. As all options are set on a per-widget basis, there is no way to display a list without a widget. Can you translate the plugin to language [insert-your-language] No… but: **You can!** Just have a look at the translation files and/or contact me for further instructions. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Last.fm For Artists” is open source software.
