This updated version of the fuzzy datetime plugin should detect the time since any post correctly, no matter what the time offset on your blog (Gary, this means you ;) ).
As usual, this can be downloaded both as source and as a zip archive.

Hey, I can’t see the admin panel at all. Just shows the footer. Running 1.5. Any ideas?

If you have another plugin which creates an options panel (e.g. BAStats or SpamKarma) then you won’t be able to see any other plugin created options pages.
This is a bug in wordpress 1.5 and you should upgrade to 1.5.1 to resolve the issue.

No problem at all.
I’m having trouble posting a comment to your blog, so I’m going to email you later today with a few questions if you don’t mind. :)

I love Fuzzy DateTime! But it seems that it’s not recognizing my UTC offset. A post I made earlier today shows up as YESTERDAY when it’s not even pm yet. I have the offset adjusted correctly in my Wordpress options, so it’s not a server issue (I use Wordpress 2.0.2).
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, I’d like to suggest an update so it is easier to use the function from other plugins outside the loop:
replace:
function spleesfuzzydatetime() {
…
…
$difference = $lmnowStamp - $lmpostStamp;
with:
function spleesfuzzydatetime() {
$postStamp = strtotime(getposttime(’Y-m-d H:i:s’, true));
}
function dospleesfuzzydatetime($postStamp) {
//Get the options from the db
$lmfdtoptions = getoption(’lmfdtoptions’);
$lmtimeoffset = getsettings(’gmtoffset’) * 3600;
$difference = $lmnowStamp - $lmpostStamp;
And replace:
print $outString;
with:
return $outString;
Now, if I have another plugin which needs to use this great one I can just call dospleesfuzzy_datetime($myTimestamp);
I’m using this in a modified WP-forum to show nice dates there too…
Thanks!

I have just installed your fuzzy datestamp plugin and still have a problem with the day/date. I am 5 hours from UTC, and despite setting that in Wordpress, once it is 7 pm local time, the time stamps shift a day. New posts report as being ‘yesterday’. Then at midnight all is well again.
I realize you haven’t worked on this in a long time, but I really like it. Any suggestions?

At the moment, no… I’ve not even looked at the code for this for nearly a year now. I know there were issues with WordPress’ storage of datetimes and the GMT/UTC offset, but I don’t know what the state of play is with them now.
You may want to add a manual ‘Time Offset’ option to the plugin so you can manually tell the plugin how many hours out your WordPress install is - Unfortunately I can’t spare the time to look at this right now due to my workload.
