Add an always up-to-date copyright notice, or the date of your next monthly poker
game.

## Installatie

 1. Download Dynamic Dates
 2. Unzip and upload the resulting folder to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 4. Place a Dynamic Date shortcode in your posts and/or pages. A theme template function
    call is also available.

## FAQ

  How does it work?

Dynamic Dates uses PHP’s [strtotime()](http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.relative.php)
function to parse natural language into relative timestamps. For example, two years
from now is “+2 year” and Canadian Thanksgiving is the “second monday of october”.
Browse the full [strtotime()](http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.relative.php)
reference to find other possibilities.

  How can I display a simple date?

Use one of the built-in shortcodes:

> `[now]`, `[yesterday]`, `[today]`, `[tomorrow]`, `[last-month]`, `[this-month]`,`[
> next-month]`, `[last-year]`, `[this-year]`, `[next-year]`

See [live examples](http://programmer.jasonhendriks.com/dynamic-dates/dynamic-dates-examples/)
at my website.

  How can I display a customized date?

This is a very powerful feature. Use any shortcode, or the generic `[date]` shortcode,
and extend it with the following attributes, each of which is optional:

 * format – a pattern to format the date or time. Browse the different formatting
   codes for [English mode](http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php) and [International mode](http://userguide.icu-project.org/formatparse/datetime).
 * time – the date or time [specified with natural language](http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.relative.php)
 * relative_to – a date or time that the first time is “relative to”, also specified
   with natural language
 * timezone – a [timezone](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/javase7locales-334809.html)
   to display (the default is set in the WordPress settings (requires PHP 5.2 or
   higher)
 * language – a language to use (requires PHP 5.3 or higher)

‘English Mode’ advanced examples:

> It’s **Sunday 15:58:47** in Paris, France
>     ```
>     [date format="l H:i:s" timezone="Europe/Paris"]
>     ```
> 
> Canadian Thanksgiving is **October 12th** this year and **October 10th** next 
> year
>     ```
>     [date format="F jS" time="second monday of october"]
>     [date format="F jS" time="second monday of october" relative_to="next year"]
>     ```
> 

‘International Mode’ advanced examples:

> Voy a la fiesta **el viernes 22 de marzo**
>     ```
>     `[date format="d de MMMM" "time="friday" language="es_CL"]`
>     ```
>

## Changelog

#### 2.0.5 – 2015-05-08

 * [[Ticket](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/after-update-unknown-or-bad-timezone?replies=7)]
   Dates tags resulted in an error if the WordPress timezone was a GMT offset. Fixed.

#### 2.0.3 – 2015-03-20

 * Fixed: The method used to calculate the current timezone was faulty for some 
   environments (produced ‘-4’ for Toronto instead of ‘-5’ during DST)
 * Fixed: The method used to apply timezones was incorrectly applying it to calculated
   dates without times (eg. ‘next sunday’)
 * Added an option to set the Log Level (defaulted to Error) instead of just blindly
   writing debug lines into debug.log/error.log
 * Fixed: Systems with no ability to format international dates were incorrectly
   allowed to enable international formatting

#### 2.0.2 – 2015-01-28

 * Fixed: In some PHP environments, the WordPress timezone setting can not be interpreted–
   the error is DateTimeZone::__construct() [datetimezone.–construct]: Unknown or
   bad timezone

#### 2.0.1 – 2015-01-27

 * Gave the settings group name a more unique name to avoid collisions with other
   plugins

#### 2.0 – 2015-01-25

 * Added timezone support, the most requested feature. The default timezone is set
   in the WordPress configuration. Requires PHP 5.2. Use the timezone shortcode 
   attribute.
 * Added international language support, the second most requested feature. The 
   default language is set in the WordPress configuration. Requires PHP 5.3 with
   the International extension. Use the language shortcode attribute.

#### 1.0.1 – 2015-01-23

 * A biennial update to re-list Dynamic Dates in the WordPress plugin directory

#### 1.0.0 – 2011-05-03
