[SOLVED] Duplicated entries in Search Results

[unpetru]

Hi,

If I request a song from my db, the next time I search for it there will be 2 entries for it. Now I have 5 entries for the same song. Is this a bug?

[DJ Garybaldy]

If it is a bug there will be no way of fixing it, either way the developer of the WP Plugin isn't around anymore. Haven't used the WP plugin for a couple of years now.

[unpetru]

Can you recommend another solution for online requests, one that isn't that hard to implement?

[DJ Garybaldy]

We released a script recently that isn't difficult to setup or customise etc...
https://djgarybaldy.co.uk/radiodj-php-request-script-basic/

[unpetru]

Could you give more information on how to install it? I have my own server for icecast and radio dj and I have the website hosted at a datacenter. Where should I put this script exactly and how would I be able to embed it in my website?

Thanks a lot man.

[DJ Garybaldy]

Edit the details in config.php to point to your RadioDJ database on your computer from Your webserver... Its not much different to the WP plugin it still requires port 3306.
You can place it wherever you want it on your website/server you would just need a PHP require statement in a page for it to show up. Or call the pages directly

Example http://mysiterocks.com/script location/index.php

Code Select Expand


$dataip = "127.0.0.1"; //  Your external IP address
$database = "admin_radiodj"; // Your Databse name
$username = "admin_radiodj";  // Your database user name
$userpass = "Mysupersecretpassword"; // Your database password
That's literally the 4 things you have to fill in.

I am very bad at coding, so I need a step by step help in integrating the script, if you want to help a fellow radio enthuziast.

1. Where do I put the script on my server through FTP? Do I create a folder anywhere and copy the files there?
2. The php require statement - what is that?

[DJ Garybaldy]

Yes create a folder and upload the files in there, Make sure you edit the details in config.php to match the connection details you used in the WP plugin before you upload as FTP.
A PHP require statement is as simple as this

Code Select Expand

<?php require('somefile.php'); ?>

You edit the somefile.php bit to match the location of the request script.

Re download the package I've just updated config.php to be a bit clearer where you edit your database settings.

[unpetru]

I have config.php, functions.php, index.php and the css file. Which one is the request script?

Where do I put that line for require statement?

[unpetru]

Ok. I got it working so far. Thanks. I will be back if I encounter problems.

[DJ Garybaldy]

You should have a "Test Request" in your RadioDJ.... 

[unpetru]

Cant find the test request, but I got into one problem.

Sorry, you'll have to wait 117 more minutes before you can make another request.
Press F5 to re-submit this request

I set it up with 1 minute wait between requests and it remains at 120 minutes...

My config looks like this:

Not sure why it's doing that TBH try setting the request limit to 5 minutes between and see if that makes a difference.
Set Req event back to zero I'm not even sure what that's supposed to be doing i will investigate.

Code Select Expand

$req_event = '0'; // showing how many minutes between requests will be played in event. 0 = don't show

[unpetru]

94 minutes to go... Doesnt change the 120 min wait time...

[unpetru]

Another error:

Your request for this song, was successfully placed 5 of the 20
You've now reached the request limit for today.

Even if the request limit is set to 20
