Your listeners want to know what is playing. The CxM Radiostatus Panel shows them right on your website: the current track with its cover, the presenter, the listener count and the most recently played songs. The panel is free and works with laut.fm and LexyCast.
What the panel shows
- Current track: with its cover
- Presenter: who is on air
- Listener count: how many people are listening right now
- History: the most recently played songs
Visitors can listen right in the panel. If you like, you can add a request box for your live shows.
Requirements
- A website running PHP-Fusion v7.
- A station on laut.fm or a LexyCast stream server.
- PHP must be allowed to open outbound connections (
allow_url_fopen) so the panel can fetch data from laut.fm or your LexyCast server. - The folder
infusions/cxm_radiostatus_panel/cache/must be writable. - For request box entries from guests, the panel uses the captcha (Securimage) of your PHP-Fusion installation.
Which CMS suits your station is explained in our guide CMS for radio stations.
