<p>This is a fairly simple plugin used to display the date and time in any widget-enabled location.</p>
<p>There were two goals for this plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>Provide a means to have the date and time produced match a specific timezone.</li>
<li>Enable complete customization over how the date and time is formatted.</li>
</ul>
<p>I think that I’ve done a fairly good job of meeting those goals. Admittedly, setting either field is fairly user-unfriendly. The timezone specified must match <a href="http://us3.php.net/timezones" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP’s List of Supported Timezones</a>. The date and time format has the same requirements as the format parameter of <a href="http://us.php.net/date" rel="nofollow ugc">PHP’s date() function</a> (for obvious reasons since the defined format is actually passed directly to the date function in the code 🙂 ).</p>
<p>If this plugin gets enough attention and use, I’ll find ways of easing the use. I think a series of drop-downs would make selecting the options easier, so that would be the option used if people are interested. If you happen to be one of those interested people, please send me a message on our <a href="http://realthemes.com/contact-us/" rel="nofollow ugc">contact page</a>.</p>

<p>Each user can save his/her current location and the corresponding time (zone). The information is stored as user meta data.</p>
<p>The Whereabouts widget displays the location and time (zone) of a specified user (select user in the widget options).</p>
<p>You can – of course – add multiple widgets to show more than one user/location.</p>
<h4>Dashboard-Widget</h4>
<p>Each user can comfortably set her/his current location directly on the WordPress dashboard.</p>
<h4>A little help from Google</h4>
<p>Activate the use of the Google Geocoding and Timezone API in the settings:</p>
<p>You can then use the browser’s geolocation API to determine your location, and the Plugin will automatically fetch the time zone of your whereabouts.</p>
<p>Want to use another location? Just type in a location name and the plugin will get all the relevant information for you.</p>
<p>You can also set the language in which the results of the api requests are returned.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>PHP 5.3</li>
<li>WordPress 3.9.2</li>
<li>In some modern browsers your website needs to have a working SSL-certificate in order to use the geolocation api.</li>
