If you are like me, you are probably responsible for updating content in (some) of your clients’ sites. Have you ever had pieces of content like these: “This is my 8th year in this industry […]” “Our little shop is up and running for 11 years […]” “9 years ago we decided to open our shop […]” Then, at some point next year your client calls and tells you to update the “11 years” to “12 years”. Wouldn’t be great if these number could be auto-increased? And that’s where “Magic Dates” comes to play. How to use it: Whenever you find yourself writing content in the editor, at the moment that you need an auto-increased number of years use the plugin like this: [magicdate]2005[/magicdate] => This will produce 6 If you want an ordinal number (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) use it like this: [magicdate ordinalize=’true’]2008[/magicdate] => This will produce 3rd use the [magicdays]YYYY-mm-dd[/magicdays] shortcode to calcumate the number of days between today and the given date Easy eh?
