Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

I live in South Korea. But I have loads of friends in the US and elsewhere in the

world. Additionally, sometimes I need to arrange Skype calls or meetings with

someone in a different timezone, OR there is an online event that I really want to

attend – in a different timezone.

I needed a way to quickly and easily convert from one date and time in a particular

timezone to another. (I hate Googling it every time, or looking up timezone tables

) What I really wanted was something I could just point,

click, submit and have it spit out the relevant time for me in my timezone. So,

I created this plugin which does just that.

4 or later.

Special Features

  • Automatically defaults to your current date, time, and timezone

based on your WordPress General Settings

  • Allows you to select a City or Manual UTC offset for conversion in the same way

the WordPress General Settings Page does

  • Uses a special jQuery calendar popup for easy date selection
  • Only allows one instance of the Converter to run on a Page at one time

Notes

  • Multiple widgets are allowed at once (on the same Post/Page)
  • Multiple shortcodes (on the same Post/Page) are disabled – multiple shortcodes

will display only ONE form

  • On Posts/Pages with a shortcode, the widget will be disabled

Planned Upcoming Features

  • AJAX form submission to prevent page reload
  • Ability to give the shortcode a specific date and time (like for an Event you’re

promoting) that will set as the default for the Converter on that particular Page

  • Ability to change the color of the form (shortcode) or converted result (widget)
  • Possibly allow users to select whether or not to display multiple forms in shortcodes

and/or widgets

Translations

  • English (EN) – default
  • Korean (KO) – upcoming

If you want to help translate the plugin into your language, please have a look

pot file which contains all definitions and may be used with a [gettext]

editor.

If you have created your own language pack, or have an update of an existing one,

mo file] to me so that I can bundle it in the

plugin.
