Envato Marketplace Items

October 7th 2009

marketplaceThe Envato Marketplace Items plugin retrieves items from an Envato Marketplace and API set of your choice, then caches those results in your WordPress database before finally displaying the results as an image gallery of 80px square thumbnails.

You can view examples of what the plugin does by checking out the sidebar of any Envato Marketplace blog and look at the Popular Files section. A quick note, the code for those sections is in the functions.php and it is not currently using this new plugin, but they are basically the same code just less option oriented since we only need them to use one API set and not pull from multiple ones.

EDIT: I added it to my sidebar so you can see it right here in action.

Installation

  • Upload the envato-marketplace-itmes folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  • Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
  • Anywhere on your blog you would like to see the thumbnail gallery add the following code to you theme files (sidebar.php recommended).

<?php 
if (function_exists('envato_marketplace_items')) { 
  envato_marketplace_items(); 
} 
?>

    Thanks !

  13. Kel says:

    How to set display only thumbnail, like yours? Help me please.

  14. Derek Herman says:

    I don’t understand, the plugin is set to show thumbnails as the default.

  15. Derek Herman says:

    I tried going to your web site but it doesn’t load. I can’t help you if I can’t get to your web site, sorry.

  16. Kel says:

    What you need to fix this, i sent it the user and pass.

  17. Derek Herman says:

    Kel, I don’t know what part you’re not understanding, I can’t look at your web site. The IP address you sent me via email does not work and it is literally impossible to fix something I can’t see. Please send me a URL or IP to a working site or I will not be able to help you.
