I've written a little plugin called "In former times". It is a sidebar plugin, which displays links to entries you have published exactly one (two, three, upto 10) year(s) ago. Nothing special, but maybe you find it usefull (like me
).Here comes the code:
Code: Select all
<?php # serendipity_plugin_formertimes.php 2005-09-10 Rembrandt $
// Probe for a language include with constants. Still include defines later on, if some constants were missing
$probelang = dirname(__FILE__) . '/' . $serendipity['charset'] . 'lang_' . $serendipity['lang'] . '.inc.php';
if (file_exists($probelang)) {
include $probelang;
}
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_NAME', 'In former times');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_BLAHBLAH', 'Shows links to entries posted at the same date one, two, three or upto ten years ago.');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_NEWWIN', 'Open entries in new window?');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_NEWWIN_BLAHBLAH', 'Should the entries be shown in a new window? (Default: Current window)');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEARS', 'Years');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEARS_BLAHBLAH', 'How many years backwards?');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_SING', 'year');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_PLUR', 'years');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_OUT','Today %s %s ago'); //Number .. Year
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_1','one');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_2','two');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_3','three');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_4','four');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_5','five');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_6','six');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_7','seven');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_8','eight');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_9','nine');
@define('PLUGIN_FORMERTIMES_YEAR_10','ten');
