Dashboard activity notices (errors), has patch – needs developer check

Hi,

I came across this nasty dashboard activity notice: “A non well formed numeric value encountered”

And traced it down to the ‘get_the_time’ filter.
In this filter hook qTranslate does its magic on date formatting etc.

The usage in the new 3.8 dashboard activity widget uses this with the ‘U’ option, to retrieve the Unix epoch timestamp for the post.

I created this (possible) patch to accommodate that scenario:
