Artists ilike Plugin
Please note that iLike have changed their HTML code rendering this plugin useless. I haven’t had time yet to adjust for the changes. Apologies. If someone else recodes it before me please comment here so people can find the working plugin.
This is the page for my WordPress plugin “Artists ilike”.
**Oops, first release was broken, didn’t generate artists – fixed in 1.3.2 now**
What it does
It pulls the artists displayed on your “Artists ilike” page over at ilike.com and displays them on a page on your WordPress blog.
Why I made it
I made it because I wanted to showcase my favourite artists on ilike without making people go there to look at my profile (or copy all the artist names to a page on my blog).
I couldn’t find any ilike plugins so I thought I’d just make one. Was a bit trickier than I thought but thanks to a guide from Devlounge by Ronald Huereca I was able to do it.
Plus I hate facebook and ilike haven’t made a plugin or api that does this for WordPress.

Please wait…
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/fotografu/public_html/home/uberlandia/wp-content/plugins/artists-ilike/php/simple_html_dom.php on line 714
anyone can help me to fix this?
Hey there,
I had a look at the difference between your info file and my info file, on your one, the memory limit is set to 64meg and on my one it is 90meg. Maybe ask your webhost if it is possible to modify the memory limit?
Or try to create an .htaccess file with the memory limit increased.
See this link: http://www.karakas-online.de/EN-Book/change-php-parameters.html
And this link: http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/htaccess/1
And this one: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html
I think it is as simple as just creating a file called .htaccess and putting
php_value memory_limit “90M”
in it. Then put that file in your root directory (or your /home/fotografu/public_html/home/uberlandia/wp-content/plugins/artists-ilike/php/ directory. I’m not exactly sure where it should go but you could put it in different folders and try it out.
Good luck
