RainyShots

This plugin adds a function rs_shots() to WordPress that returns an array of the 15 latest Dribbble shots by a player. The return type of the function is JSON in appropriate PHP type.

The plugin adds an admin screen under Settings > RainyShots that provides a few options such as specifying a player and caching preferences.

Features

• Specify the player
• Returned shots variable is cached for a day by default; this cache duration may be updated in admin settings
• You can manually reset the cache through the admin at any time. This is useful if you post a shot and want it to immediately show up in your template.

Read more about it on my blog.

1. Upload the rainyshots folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Set the player under Settings > RainyShots before you use the tag; optionally, update the caching preferences.

Does the ws_shots() function output any html or css?

Nope. It returns the json with values encoded as PHP types. You can loop through the object as follows:

$shots = rs_shots();

foreach ($shots as $shot)
{
    echo "<img src='" . $shot->{"image_teaser_url"} . "' alt='" . $shot->{"title"} . "' />";
}

May I access only “image_teaser_url” or are any other shot properties accessible?

You may access all the properties available in the response to this API call. All the plugin does is return the json_decoded result of the API call along with caching benefits.
