    Hi Jacob,

    Happy new year to you!

    There’s a slight problem with the photo of the day. When we communicated about the year thing, I didn’t think too much about the impact of not taking into account the leap year – or it not being a leap year.

    Currently, the photo number for today is 366. As opposed to it having gone back to 1. As a result, every day is going to be 1 out.

    For the time being, I’m working around this by manually changing the number of individual photos, but is it possible to take into account the actual number of days in the year, not just assume 366?

    Thanks, and hope you have a great new year.

    Alex

    Nope!

    Todays daynumber on the server is 0 ( Zero ), but the Sequence editor starts at 1 ( One ), so today is 366 and tomorrow is 1 in wppa.

    From the PHP documentation ( https://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php ):
    z The day of the year (starting from 0) 0 through 365

    From the wppa source ( wppa-widget-functions.php line 310 ):

    $d = strval(intval(date_i18n( "z" )));
$d -= get_option( 'wppa_potd_offset', '0' );
while ( $d < '1' ) $d += '366';

    If you want today in wppa to be 0 in stead of 366,
    install the development version ( 6.3.17.001 ), where i changed
    while ( $d < '1' ) $d += '366'; into
    while ( $d < '0' ) $d += '366';

    It required an additional patch. Install the development version, and set the offset to 365, to get photo order # 1 is jan 1 etc. If the offset is 0, jan 1 is day 0 etc.

    Hi Jacob,

    Thanks for getting back to me. I decided to renumber everything in keeping with your original.

    Thanks.

    Alex.
