Yesterday, I received a friend's request for a WP plugin development. My friend asked for a music player plugin that can run on the WordPress blog engine because he couldn't find suitable plugins online for his website needs. Naturally, CG accepted this task and below are the results for today.
CG used a popular WP plugin called Flash MP3 Player as a template for development, so the development speed was fast. I received the task yesterday and finished it this afternoon. However, because the provided plugin's player functionality was insufficient, my friend needed me to create a new music player to replace the original one. Luckily, I had previously made a plugin used in a music appreciation online course program, so I didn't have to develop the Flash player from scratch. The key was how to integrate the two during the development process.
