This version has cleaner code and adds support for including a formated date string in the day label.
It also adds Lithuanian namedays to the Austrian, Czech, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Polish, Slovakian and Swedish from the original module.
Changelog:
1.0.7 - Correct the handling of non-leap years
1.0.6 - Make module upgradeable and add the missing language file (oops!)
1.0.5 - Use user timezone setting if a user is logged in, also fixed a bug where GMT was used rather than the calculated date.
1.0.4 - Make use of JDate to get the correct date as set in Global Configuration of the site
1.0.3 - Make use of the 'display template' file to standardise to Joomla 1.5 standard.
1.0.2 - Add {@date@} functionality
1.0.1 - Initial Release: cleaned up code and added Lithuanian. Original module by Roman.
The module has two major errors which means that it is not working properly: The first error is that the module does not take into account leap years, so this year shows the wrong name when the date is later than February 28. Error number two is, as in the original, the Swedish name days are wrong. It is also poorly written with repeating code that can be facilitated.
Owner's reply
I have had a look at the leap year problem you mentioned and actually it was opposite. It does take into account leap years, but it was not handling the NON-leap years properly. I had assumed that PHP would have had proper handling of leap year dates, but i guess not.
Version 1.0.7 has that corrected.
