[Plugin: Facebook] Why does the plugin use "c" Instead Of "Y-m-d\TH:i:sP"?

  • Relevant File: /wp-content/plugins/facebook/fb-open-graph.php

    Code in question:

    $meta_tags['https://ogp.me/ns/article#published_time'] = get_the_date('c');
$meta_tags['https://ogp.me/ns/article#modified_time'] = get_the_modified_date('c');

    Why does the plugin use “c” instead of something like “Y-m-d\TH:i:sP“?

    “c” outputs the right time but WRONG time zone (always UTC), if you haven’t noticed it. “Y-m-d\TH:i:sP” on the other hand outputs the timestamp in the same format as “c” but with the right timezone (respecting the settings in WordPress Dashboard > Settings > General).

    Please fix this, or give an explanation with regards to your choice. Thanks!

    Thanks for the feedback– happy to make that change.

    We’re going to open up the repo for contributions though. Do you want to make the change when that happens? ??

    That’d be great!

    Unfortunately, I don’t know how to use those version control systems (I’m learning, and it’ll take a while). ?? I’d be glad to help if there’s any other way.

    Thanks!

    @mattwkelly Before you have the changes made, I’d like to direct you to this (which sheds some light on the issue) so that you can take a proper decision.
