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.

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?

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));

print ( do_splees_fuzzy_datetime($postStamp));

}

function dospleesfuzzydatetime($postStamp) {
//Get the options from the db
$lmfdtoptions = getoption(’lmfdtoptions’);
$lmtimeoffset = getsettings(’gmtoffset’) * 3600;

//get the two timestamps
$nowStamp = strtotime(gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', time()));

$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 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!

No problem at all.
