Countdown 1.1 Update
I made some updates to my Countdown plugin. This plugin lets you easily maintain a "Dates To Remember" countdown in your sidebar.
Changes are mostly minor bugfixes, but could have a significant impact on your date display. Here's a short list:
- Dates set like
1st sat allwill now correctly fall on the following month (as opposed to December) when the date has passed for the current month. - When Countdown displays the number of days to go until an event, it will say "Today", "1 day", or "X days", respecting plurality.
- You can specify
%nocountdown%in an event name to display only the date and not a countdown for that event. - Code to display today's events should now correctly display all of today's events.
- Dates are converted from GMT using the WordPress GMT settings.
- The gettime() function call is now officially fixed.
I also added the Philadelphia WordPress Meetup date to the dates.txt file, and updated the readme.txt with info about the %nocountdown% flag.
You can find the new Countdown 1.1 download on the hacks page.

every week starting 2005-04-21Rick: I'm not sure why it's not rolling over. I'll look through my code again to see if there's something I overlooked. Of course, the difficulty is in waiting for the right time to roll around to test it... :)Comment by Karl Bedingfield on .

$date_format = 'M. j';Change the 'M. j' to 'd.m.' on both of these lines and the date August 27th will appear as "27.08." This is obviously something that the plugin could do better. There was another thing I wanted to improve, too; A new scheduling method. I'll have to think on that, and aybe I'll provide an update.Comment by Owen on .
