Let me know if this all works for you

The first bit of code should be pasted right after where the array is declared.


$query = "SELECT option_value FROM wp_options WHERE option_name='gmt_offset'";
$result = mysql_query($query);

$since = $today + $gmt_offset_wp - $gmt_delta_today - strtotime($post->post_date);


The second part should be pasted just before the ‘?>’ at the end of the plugin code


function tzdelta ( $iTime = 0 )
{
if ( 0 == $iTime ) { $iTime = time(); }
$ar = localtime ( $iTime );
$ar[5] += 1900; $ar[4]++;
$iTztime = gmmktime ( $ar[2], $ar[1], $ar[0], $ar[4], $ar[3], $ar[5], $ar[8] );
return ( $iTztime - $iTime );
}


How does it work?
WP seems to take the GMT time + your GMT offset and puts that as the date and time the entry was posted.

So, we need to get the
- GMT offset fromthe wp database (sql query in code)
- GMT time difference of where your server is (mine is in the US somewhere, and I am currently in Sri Lanka)

Then we use these 2 extra values to correct the value of today(), because that function gives you the local server time.

try adding this
if ($since '.$original.'‘

after this line:
$since = $today - strtotime($post->post_date);

if ($since post_date);

so far, it works for me

Thanks in advance!

just tried the different time_since plugins all along the web and yours is the only one working for me.
its such an brilliant idea of user-friendly displaying of time (etc) that i just “translated” the code into german (talkin’ about time and number and the thing with singular/plura is a bit more complicated in german, but nothing what 2 ifs couldn’t solve).

thanks for the plugin!

(mail me if you want to have the result - or have a watch at blog.REScrew.de -> it is under construction, but time_since should work)

Admittedly, this is a minor problem, but it sure would look nicer to see “12 minutes ago” rather than “-1 years, 12 months ago” for the first hour or so!

Thanks for the plugin.

Edit line 23 as follows:


$today = time() + 60*60*x;


where x is the time difference between the host server and the entry post’s time in hours. I think there should be an easier way to do this by calculating x automatically using PHP, but unfortunately I’m not very familiar with PHP…please tell me if this is possible.

In any case the plugin now works fine on my blog.
cheers!
