sojweb

My intention was to create a plugin to allow authors to set their own time zones. It shouldn’t take too much, but I keep having to put it off. It just needs to take into account daylight savings time, but this is a little tricky because you need to keep a record somehow of past DST times for posts published in the past.
I have a couple ideas for implementing this, but if anyone else has any brilliant ideas, please go for it. Another thing I intend to do is hook into <code>pre_option_gmt_offset</code> instead of the <code>get_the_time</code> filter, as it does now.

SoJ User Time Zone

Set user specific time zones; this is a work in progress.

I discovered someone ripping off the content of my site through the RSS feed, so this plugin now optionally inserts a copyright claim at the beginnging of each post in the feed. The text is included whether the feed is accessed through this plugin’s tag or through the normal WordPress feed address. This only affects the RSS feeds, not the actual Web pages.
This is otherwise a very basic plugin. Unless you don’t have at least version 2.6.3 of WordPress, it assumes a few things, including:
<ul>
<li>WordPress is installed at the root level of your Web site. If it is not, edit the <code>$path_to_wordpress</code> variable in <code>soj-tag-feed-rss.php</code> to point to the appropriate location</li>
<li>You want to use RSS2 feeds. If you want to use RSS, uncomment the RSS feed type in <code>soj-tag-feed-rss.php</code>.</li>
</ul>

SoJ Tag Feed

Creates a template tag that generates a link to an RSS feed for any given tag, optionally allows the inclusion of copyright information into RSS feeds …
