Hebrew Date

1. 

   A sample of a post showing dates replaced.

2. 

   The config screen.

2.1.1

• Integration with github. No functional changes.

2.1.0

• Support WP 3.2’s TwentyEleven with its HTML comment escaping

2.0.3

• Fix for anyone using PHP < 5.3.0 and a date containing a suffix (3rd, 5th, etc instead of 3, 5).

2.0.2

• Remove superflous single quote after the year
• Switch ‘ and " to &1523; and ״ [proper unicode]. Thanks to KosherJava for the tip

2.0.1

• Fixed a bug for English (both Ashkenazim and Sefardic) transliterations not appearing (introduced in 2.0.0)
• Added the option to remove the quotes from the Hebrew dates (requested by http://www.amotherinisrael.com/)

2.0.0

• Complete rewrite of the date identification; much more reliable
• Code actually looks slightly sane now
• New get_the_hebrew_date() and the_hebrew_date() APIs, which can be used in any theme. The interception of the other calls, while much more robust now, still is not the ideal.

1.0.4

• Support for both the_date() and get_the_date() (required for WordPress 3.0’s 2010 theme)

1.0.3

• Enhanced currentHebrewDate API (see the help on the config screen, or the discussion proposals here)
• Start of some decent documentation
• Proper URL

1.0.2

• Code no longer breaks things! [fix for the_time()]

1.0.1

• Don’t ask where 1.0.0 is. Just don’t.
• Database config (instead of coded in the file)
• Configuration screen shows when an update was performed
• Option of showing Hebrew (or transliterated) only, Gregorian – Hebrew, or Hebrew – Gregorian
• Lots of code cleanup.
• Easier to add languages (I’d like to add an academic spelling as well)
• Support for full names (Marcheshvan, Menachem Av)
• XHTML 1.1 compliant! (span rtl)
• Hebrew (default) or Transliterated (Latin character set) characters
• Transliteration according Ashkenazi (default) or Sefardi pronunciation
• Sunset correction enabled or disabled (default) by Latitude / Longitude
• 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.
