rsx_time_of_day (ala Duntan's Blog)
This plugin implements the idea discussed by Dunstan on his personal blog about displaying the time a post was published in a friendly manner. Simply place the <txp:rsx_time_of_day /> tag in an article template form and it will print out the time in a friendlier manner. For example, 12:00 will get turned into “lunch time”.
Download the plugin: rsx_time_of_day.txt

really its all dunstan; it’s his idea, and it’s almost all his own code. Anyway, it’s good to be helpful.

ramanan, great minds think alike ;-)
You might want to modify part of that code to read something like:
<code>global $thisarticle, $timeoffset;
$posted = $thisarticle[‘posted’];
$hour = date(‘H’,$posted+$timeoffset);</code>
Just so that the hours correspond to your timezone.
Edit:
Oh yeah, (I know this because of implementing the same thing on my site)… I had strange results with certain hours of day with the integer syntax. Strangeness being, if I posted at 7pm or 8pm it wouldn’t output anything. After changing the switch statement to check for strings the strangeness went away (for whatever reason):
<code>case ‘00’:
case ‘01’:
case ‘02’:</code>

Thanks for this nice plugin
Translated it in french and made it avalaible for download on my website with full credits and a link to your site :-)
Here it is
Translation of rsx_time_of_day_fr.txt
Is it relevant to make a new post to signal this for french users ?

I think you may as well just make note of it here. This forum is already so cluttered. I’m hoping some day there will be a more organized place to put all the plugins.

I forgot to declare $timeoffset as a global variable. This has been fixed.
