jad_oldposted

jdueck · 2005-02-23 02:30:08

In response to the rc3 problem I described here (regarding the format parametr for txp:posted), I wrote this plugin.

http://www.jdueck.net/files/code/jad_oldposted.txt

It basically emulates the way txp:posted used to work before 1.0rc3, using the old formatting strings.

Use it exactly as you would the txp:posted tag, but the format parameter uses these elements.

The new rc3 implementation is better for localisation (ie non-english users), but if you use english, I believe the old way offered more flexible formatting of dates including (my pet feature) ordinal suffixes (ie ‘March 19th’ and ‘June 1st’ not just ‘March 19’ and ‘June 1’). You can also use this plugin as a stopgap if you don’t want to convert your old date format strings to the new format.

If you use 1.0rc2 or lower then you have no use for this plugin.

(update) Version 560.2+ fixes the time offset problem mentioned below (thanks to andruidica for the patch)

Great! Thanks, now I can use my strange <code>format=“M j\<\s\u\p\>S\<\/\s\u\p\>, Y”</code> again!

Oh goody. :) How’d I miss seeing this?

I’m big on ordinal suffixes myself.

While I recognize the need for this for non-english sites, it’d be nice if both were available as an option.

i can’t seem to get this to work in the article pages… is this a problem you guys have seen? or is it just me? (it’s a wonderful plugin, though, joel.. thank you.)

Mary · 2005-03-29 00:22:03

Works fine for me (rc3 rev245).

alicson · 2005-03-29 00:39:38

hey, how do you know what revision you’re running? (or do you remember from when you downloaded? is there someplace you can check?)

‘must be something wrong with my setup then.. i’ll check through again; thanks mary

Textpattern itself won’t tell you.

When you download from SVN, if you peek inside any one of the index.html files before you delete them, the number is there.

(Edit: gonna add this info to my how-to)

thanks Mary

I noticed today the plugin needs to be updated, Joel, it returns incorrect date/time in 4.01. :)

alicson · 2005-10-09 15:18:34

that’s been true for seemingly most of the date-based plugins since rev3ish, i believe…

One reason why I’m reducing my dependance on them. We need an “update a plug-in” week.

I figured out how to fix the problem with the time not showing correctly. For me it was just a timezone problem, so the fix was simply a matter of changing the second line within the function from:

$date_offset = $thisarticle["posted"];

to:

$date_offset = $thisarticle["posted"] + tz_offset();

And it will use the timezone offset set in preferences.
