SeasonalCSS plugin limited release

That’s a great idea!

This is excellent, i’ve wanted to do something like this myself. I was looking at custom mod_rewrite rules based on dates, but this looks interesting. Ill give it a shot.

Let me know how you make out, snaker. I’d be interested.

Very useful man… Now easy to install the plugin the real work: is designing seasons logos, its difficult [ex. every xmas logos are the same, people hate it]

Thanks man, worked like a charm
Now to figure out that easter weirdness
Paul

Here is a great algorithm for finding easter – I wrote it in C, you’ll have to make it a php function. Pass in the year, it returns the month and the day. Keep in mind, this only works for thw western church easter. Some of the Eastern Orthodox use a different method of reckoning.

void RomanEaster( int year, int *month, int *day )
{
int y, j, k, h, m, n, p, q, r, s, u, v, w, x, z;
y = year;
j = y % 19; /* this is a modulus operator */
k = y / 100;
h = y % 100;
m = k / 4;
n = k % 4;
p = (k+8) / 25;
q = (k-p+1) / 3;
r = (19*j+k-m-q+15) % 30;
s = h / 4;
u = h % 4;
v = (32+2*n+2*s-r-u) % 7;
w = (j+11*r+22*v) / 451;
x = (r+v-7*w+114) / 31;
z = (r+v-7*w+114) % 31;
*month = x;
*day = z+1;
return;
}


Has anyone managed to figure out how to add Easter to the list of holidays to keep the list automatic?

Does no-one read the PHP manual or use Google?

Easter date is built into PHP:
echo date("Y-m-d", easter_date());

Orthodox Old-Calendar Easter can be computed like this:
function getOldCalendarEaster(){
$year = date("Y");
$r1 = $year % 19;
$r2 = $year % 4;
$r3 = $year % 7;
$ra = 19 * $r1 + 16;
$r4 = $ra % 30;
$rb = 2 * $r2 + 4 * $r3 + 6 * $r4;
$r5 = $rb % 7;
$rc = $r4 + $r5;
// Orthodox Old Calendar Easter for this year
// will fall $rc days after April 3
return strtotime("3 April $year + $rc days");
}
echo date("Y-m-d", getOldCalendarEaster());

Nice one. I’m looking for a way to automatically rotate my themes for Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. Might try to use this plug-in — can anyone think of a better way?

@yngwin: Yes, indeed I do know how to read the PHP manual. However, I wasn’t sure how to put the output of getOldCalendarEaster(); into the format that the plugin uses. That’s why I was asking if anyone had gotten Easter integrated into the list. If you have a suggestion of how to do that, I would be all ears.

Nice to see people still using this even though I don’t have it anymore!

I was going to work on updating it to be WP 1.5/2.0 friendly, (admin panel, API, etc) tonight but I can’t find my code.

Anyone have this for me?

I don’t have it, sorry. Although I would love to have a copy of this and even assist in some dev if you needed. Great plugin idea, though.

I found it, rewrote it and released it:

I could use some AJAX help and some logic assistance (see my notes in the to do) if you wanted to assist.

Aaron, I STILL WANT IT! I’m getting a “not found on this server” from the link above?

[Okay, here’s the real-deal download link: https://www.technosailor.com/downloads/seasonalcss.zip

Thanks – got it, and I’m going to be up until whenever now, tweaking….]

Let me know what you come up with, vkaryl… ??
