This plugin allows you to render date inside collection posts and comments by using the syntax [date:server:F d, Y H\:i\:s:-03.30:.badge] for example.

The plugin renders at Display Time, so the date or time is never cached in the Pre Rendering Cache.

Syntax Breakdown

[date: Date Source : Date Format : Date Offset :. Class Name(s) ]

• Date Source: can be one of the following:
  • server: use the local time of the server. This is the default value if no date source is defined.
  • issued: use the date when the post is issued.
  • modified: use the date when the post was last modified.
  • touched: use the date when the post was last touched.
• Date Format: specifies how the date should be formatted when displayed. Compatible with PHP date formats.
• Date Offset: specifies the amount of time that should be offset.
  • Example: [date:server:F d, Y:-06.30] will display the current server date with a delay of 6 hours and 30 minutes; i-e: the date will switch 6:30 hours later than without offset.
• Class Names: can be any CSS classname. The classname must start with a dot. Multiple classnames can be specified, separated by a dot.
