Based on feedback from KosherJava (on the v1.0.2. release announcement), I've enhanced the currentHebrewDate() API in the Hebrew Dates plugin. It now accepts parameters to control how the date is printed.
(more...)
I've released a small fix to the HebrewDate plugin. The new version is 1.0.2, and is available, at the regular place.
Based on an idea I "borrowed" from Jacob Fresco, I've added the ability to insert the current Hebrew Date (with sunset correction!) anywhere in a theme.
Simply add <?php if (function_exists('hebrewDateCurrent')) { hebrewDateCurrent();} ?> to a theme.
The code can be downloaded Hebrew Dates release page under the Software section.
The code needs some major cleanup, but not today...
As you may have seen earlier, I'd picked up development of the Hebrew Date plugin from KosherJava. Today, I'm officially releasing version 1.0.0. Much of the logic is rewritten, but most of the credit goes to KosherJava!
To install, download the plugin (from here),activate, and enjoy!
There are lots of fun config options under the options tab. Specifically, in order to use the sunset correction (evening dates will have the correct Hebrew date), you need to provide a latitude and longitude.
Please note that this code has only been tested on WP 2.0+. It may work on 1.5, but I'm not sure.
