Dynamically show date accessed?
6 replies · Started by Anonymous on August 22, 2015
Hello,
Is there a way to replicate this function in the content section?
<?php echo date_i18n('F j, Y', time()); ?>
I am trying to dynamically show the date of access in proper format (e.g., APA, Chicago, etc.) to visitors for citation purposes. Any idea how I could do this?
Thanks.
Where in the content area you wanting to place it?
Hello,
In the the middle of the conten, for example:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, alii impetus aliquam eu eos, vim legendos perpetua ut. Et eirmod bonorum vis, commodo tritani explicari te duo, quot nullam disputando nec ei. Corpora repudiare quo eu, qui ea offendit euripidis incorrupte. Illum percipit eum an. Eu vel ipsum dicant viderer, natum verear nec cu. Qui decore periculis erroribus ex, mea ea pericula disputando.
Page was accessed on: <?php echo date_i18n(‘F j, Y’, time()); ?>
Justo postea vituperatoribus id eos, dolorum constituto delicatissimi eu quo. Tractatos intellegebat concludaturque pri ei. Nullam pertinax incorrupte te sed, deserunt principes ad eum. Ut quaeque perfecto vix, id ius argumentum definitionem, ut dolor phaedrum quo. Inani perpetua mea.

I think the way to do it is through a shortcode. I am fiddling with it right now to see if I can make it work.
Something like this for example:
// Add Shortcode
function chi_code( $atts ) {
// Attributes
extract( shortcode_atts(
array(
'echo date_i18n(‘F j, Y’, time())' => '',
), $atts )
);
}
add_shortcode( 'chi', 'chi_code' );Maybe...?
Ah, you can try something like this:
function chi_code( $atts ){
return date_i18n('F j, Y', time());
}
add_shortcode( 'chi', 'chi_code' );Thanks Tom,
Worked like a charm.
No problem! :)
