Whereabouts

Each user can save his/her current location and the corresponding time (zone). The information is stored as user meta data. The Whereabouts widget displays the location and time (zone) of a specified user (select user in the widget options). You can - of course - add multiple widgets to show more than one user/location. Dashboard-Widget Each user can comfortably set her/his current location directly on the WordPress dashboard. A little help from Google Activate the use of the Google Geocoding and Timezone API in the settings: You can then use the browser's geolocation API to determine your location, and the Plugin will automatically fetch the time zone of your whereabouts. Want to use another location? Just type in a location name and the plugin will get all the relevant information for you. You can also set the language in which the results of the api requests are returned. 必需条件

• PHP 5.3
• WordPress 3.9.2
• In some modern browsers your website needs to have a working SSL-certificate in order to use the geolocation api.

1. Upload the whereabouts folder to your /wp-content/plugins directory.
2. Activate the "Whereabouts" plugin in the WordPress administration interface.
3. Go to "Settings" -> "Whereabouts" and activate "Use Google to get location data", enter you API key and set the "API Request Language".
4. On the dashboard, set your location.
5. Go to "Appearance" -> "Widgets" and add a Wherebouts widget to a sidebar of your choosing. (You have the options to chose the user, whose location you want to display, link the location to Google Maps and display the time zone name.)

Please note: The widget will only be displayed if the specified user has set his/her location. 形象 There is no extra styling for the widget. You can however do it yourself, in your theme. This is what the HTML looks like: ` Current Location: ... Local Time: 12:34 ... ` 代码 You can also generate this HTML code anywhere in your theme by using this shortcode: [whereabouts user="2" link_location="1" time_format="H:i" show_tz="1"] You need to enter a valid user id and the specified user must have saved his/her location for the widget to be displayed. 过滤 There is a filter available to change the html output of the widget/shortcode: whab_widget_output Three argument variables are availabe:

• $output The html Whereabouts generates by default as a string
• $args The widget settings as an array
• $location The location values as an array

You could use it in your theme's functions.php like this: ` add_filter( 'whab_widget_output', 'my_function_to_change_location_widget', 10, 3 ); function my_function_to_change_location_widget( $output, $args, $location ) { $output = ' ' . $location['location_name'] . ', '; $output .= date( $args['time_format'], time() + $location['utc_difference'] ); if ( $args['show_tz'] ) { $output .= ' (' . $location['timezone_name'] . ')'; } return $output . ''; } ` This will change the html output to: <p class="my-location">Paris, France, 12:34 (Central European Standard Time)</p>
