fyyd podcast shortcodes

Description

Blogging about podcasts is a thing now. Of course it’s good practice to link to the podcast’s website and include some additional information, maybe inside an information block.

This plugin provides shortcodes to display podcasts’ information inside your blogposts. This includes general information about the podcast and single episodes’ information, including the option of an HTML5 audioplayer for those episodes. In addition there are infoboxes for collections and curations.

To get the data needed, the plugin makes use of podcasts’ data provided by fyyd.de, a podcast directory and service point. fyyd’s API (https://github.com/eazyliving/fyyd-api) is the interface to all those podcasts.

All displayed content is dynamically fetched by the clients browser, there’s no server-side action/caching/etc…

This plugin provides shortcodes to include infoboxes for
