Custom Hard Rock memorabilia widgets

Posted in Found in the tubes | 12 October 2009 | by Lemme

Single-item Hard Rock memorabilia “widgets” have been around almost since we first launched the site in 2008. Zoom in on any item in the collection, click SHARE on the right and grab the embed code. Badabing.

It was never an official feature, but you could always roll your own multi-item widgets, too. Just add as many 6-digit item numbers as you like (with spaces in between) after [value="item=] to create something like this.

As of today’s release – you can also create filter-based collections. Round up all items from a given artist, year, genre, Hard Rock location, memorabilia type, or whatever search keyword you like.

Here’s how you do it, in three, um, “easy” steps:

 
////////// 01 //////////

Change:
value="item= … "
to:
value="filter=[ filter type ]=[ search terms ]"

For example (as seen above):
value="filter=artist=buddy holly"

Filter types:
• artist
• location (search city names, regions, etc)
• year (must be a 4-digit number)
• type (see types listed on the left side of the site)
• genre (see genres listed on the site)
• video (use video=yes)

Or, for a simple keyword search across all fields, use:
value="filter=[ search terms ]"

For example:
value="filter=autograph"

 
////////// 02 //////////

Change:
…/Ping.gif?type=install&item= … "
to:
…/Ping.gif?type=install&item=multi"

 
////////// 03 //////////

Change:
