Integrate plugin into functions.php

Hello! I'm trying to have my new site as plugin-free as possible. I would like to integrate this Dribbble plugin into my functions file as a widget instead of having it load like a plugin. Any help is appreciated!



<?php



function wpDribbble() { 

	include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/feed.php');

 

  $options = get_option("widget_wpDribbble");

	$playerName = $options['playerName'];



	if(function_exists('fetch_feed')):

		$rss = fetch_feed("http://dribbble.com/players/$playerName/shots.rss");

		add_filter( 'wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime', create_function( '$a', 'return 1800;' ) );

		if (!is_wp_error( $rss ) ) : 

			$items = $rss->get_items(0, $rss->get_item_quantity($options['maxItems'])); 

		endif;

	endif;



	if (!empty($items)): ?>

<ol class="dribbbles">

<?php	

foreach ( $items as $item ):

	$title = $item->get_title();

	$link = $item->get_permalink();

	$date = $item->get_date('F d, Y');

	$description = $item->get_description();



	preg_match("/src=\"(http.*(jpg|jpeg|gif|png))/", $description, $image_url);

	$image = $image_url[1];

	if(!$options['bigImage']) {

		$image = preg_replace('/.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png)/', '_teaser.$1',$image); #comment this out if you want to use the big 400x300 image

	}

Hi,

If the whole plugin is in a single php file.
For example plugin.php

1) Remove the plugin header, which is the comments.
2) save the plugin.php into your theme folder and same level with functions.php
3) in functions.php put the below codes,
```
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . "/plugin.php");
```
Hope I did not make a mistake here.

Thanks,
Denzel

  Hi,
  
  Does it only show this 500 error, there is some kind of error line number?

  Hi Mike,
  
  If you don't mind, Please email me your theme to email@denzeldesigns.com
  I can add it in for you.
  
  In fact I had it working on my localhost using twenty ten.
  
  You need to change the following too.
  
  from
```
$dir = WP_PLUGIN_URL.'/'.str_replace(basename( __FILE__),"",plugin_basename(__FILE__));
```
  to
```
$dir = get_bloginfo('template_url')."/";
```
  so that path to image is
  http://example.com/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/dribbblesprite.png
  
  from
```
add_action("plugins_loaded", "wpDribbble_init");
```
  to
```
add_action("init", "wpDribbble_init");
```
  So that the widget will show.
  
  Attached screenshot of widget with player name kimballfrank
  
  Thanks.

A simple iteration to Denzil answer:

You could try

require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . '/plugin.php');

since its in a template.

Andrzej Zglobica says:
To Jerson's aswer - you might rather try STYLESHEETPATH to make it child-theme proof.

Note that action 'plugins_loaded' will not run within theme's functions.php (seems to be working only from plugins). Instead you might want hook 'wpDribbble_init' to 'init' for example.

(so:
```
add_action("plugins_loaded", "wpDribbble_init");
```
becomes
```
add_action("init", "wpDribbble_init");
```
)

Jeremy Jared says:

I know this isn't exactly what you are asking for, but really the solution of adding it to the functions.php doesn't solve any performance issues.

This is a little know trick to adding single file plug-ins to WP websites. Open your sites FTP, create a folder directly inside the wp-content folder named mu-plugins. Place the following code into your text editor and name it the same name (without the spaces uses - where the spaces are example: your-function.php), save it and upload it to the mu-plugins folder. You will notice that there is a new section called MU plugins in the plugin page. It can't be disabled or edited from the WP-Admin. You will have to delete it from the folder.

Here's the code:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Your Name

Version: 1.0

Plugin URI: http://something.com/

Description: Something here

Author: Your name

Author URI: http://yourwebsite.com/

*/

function wpDribbble() { 



	include_once(ABSPATH . WPINC . '/feed.php');



 



  $options = get_option("widget_wpDribbble");



	$playerName = $options['playerName'];







	if(function_exists('fetch_feed')):



		$rss = fetch_feed("http://dribbble.com/players/$playerName/shots.rss");



		add_filter( 'wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime', create_function( '$a', 'return 1800;' ) );



		if (!is_wp_error( $rss ) ) : 



			$items = $rss->get_items(0, $rss->get_item_quantity($options['maxItems'])); 



		endif;



	endif;







	if (!empty($items)): ?>



<ol class="dribbbles">

	$title = $item->get_title();



	$link = $item->get_permalink();

	preg_match("/src=\"(http.*(jpg|jpeg|gif|png))/", $description, $image_url);



	$image = $image_url[1];



	if(!$options['bigImage']) {
