mflowDet: mflow widget for WordPress
View download links and changelog info.
Do you know what is mflow? As many people said, in few words, is the son of Twitter and iTunes. Right now it's only available on the UK, but probably will spread across Europe soon. You can read more and try it on it's website.
I just coded a little widget for WordPress that grabs the last flow from your mflow web profile (http://my.mflow.com/username) and adds it to your sidebar.
This plugin used to work with an HTML parser, now it just uses the mflow API. Still missing a lot of things but it gets the job done!
The installation is simple: drop the mflowdet folder into your plugins folder and add the widget on the Appearance section of your WordPress admin panel, there you can change the username.

Hey dude. Nice work!
Check out our official API if you want to grab the data (or anything else) directly.

Hi there,
Excellent work :) I think Mflow is great and would like to include my flows on my blog. I’m using the WordPress Lifestream plugin to pull in activity from other sites and would like to do the same with Mflow. You say the latest version of your widget uses the Mflow API – I’ve looked at it but it’s a bit tough to get into :( – and I’d really like to see how you’re accessing it, but I can’t find a link to download v1.2!!!
Cheers!

You’re right, I should not play with the blog backups at all!
I just updated the post with the link to the , that was missing.
It should be easy to adapt this in oder to output a RSS instead a block of HTML, now it only cares about the last one, but you could adapt it to get as many as you want.
Cheers,
Angel

I haven’t touched it’s code in some time, but I guess I could implement it. I’ll take a look at it.
