## Description

THIS PLUGIN IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.

For a version that works with current WordPress installations, please see [Zmanim WP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/zmanim-wp/#description)
or some other plugin.

### LEGACY INFORMATION

Displays Hebrew date, sunrise, sunset, and key times for prayers (latest Shema, 
earliest Plag, etc) along with multiple calculation options (GR »A, M »A). Display
is highly customizable, with options to display or hide:

 * Hebrew date
 * Sunrise and/or sunset
 * Earliest time for Plag haMincha
 * Latest time to say morning Shema

Within those options, there are choices to show English or Hebrew, Ashkenazi or 
Sephardi transliterations, and multiple options for calculating times (GR »A, M »
A, etc)

This plugin makes one JSON call to hebcal.com for the the Hebrew date. More information
on how this feature works can be found here:
 [http://www.hebcal.com/home/219/hebrew-date-converter-rest-api](http://www.hebcal.com/home/219/hebrew-date-converter-rest-api)

This plugin also makes two JSON calls to Google’s Maps API: one to obtain the latitude/
longitude for the provided zip code, and another to determine the time zone for 
that zip code.

More information can be found here:
 [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/)…
and here… [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/timezone/](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/timezone/)

For Shabbat Zman display, please see this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/adatosystems-friday-zmanim/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/adatosystems-friday-zmanim/)

### LEGACY INFORMATION

 1. Download a copy of the zip file to your computer
 2. Extract the files.
 3. FTP to your webserver
 4. Create a directory inside /wp-content/plugins named « dailyzmanim »
 5. Upload `zmanfriday.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/dailyzmanim` directory
 6. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 7. Use Appareance -> Widgets to place this information on your page (does not currently
    support shortcodes or php inserts)

**Formatting**
 Several CSS style codes are included: * #dailyzman: a DIV tag that
wraps all the widget content * #zmanbigtitle: a SPAN tag for the title of the widget*#
zmantitle: a SPAN tag for each of the titles within the widget.

Thus, you could format the text by adding the following to your style sheet:

dailyzman { font-size: 12px; }

zmanbigtitle {

    ```
        font-size: 12px;
        font-weight: bold;
        text-decoration: underline;
    ```

}

zmantitle { font-weight: bold; }

### LEGACY INFORMATION

= The plugin works for part of the day, and then stops =

The Google API has a limit of 2,500 requests per day. If you need more than that,
contact the developer for the pro version that covers high-volume websites.

#### Something isn’t working. Any way I can see what might be going wrong?

Check the « debug » option at the bottom of the widget to get some of the initial
calculations that are coming in. Otherwise, contact the developer. I hear he’s a
great guy.

## Changelog

#### 2.0

 * THIS PLUGIN IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.

   or some other plugin.

#### 1.1

 * Really just matched this to the way things are done in the Shabbat Zman widget
 * Added options for Latitude/Longitude for those locations where the postal code
   doesn’t work.
 * If using Lat/Long, returns location name in that location’s language (if possible)
 * Using sunrise/sunset (instead of calculating it within the code) because of mis-
   matches in DST (daylight savings time) calculations.
 * changed from using Google Maps API to GeoNames.org for lat/long and timezone 
   data due to overload of Google’s 2500 hit per day per IP, which was blocking 
   sites hosted by NetworkSolutions and other larger providers.
 * Changed URL calls to use a more secure cURL routine
 * Added additional debugging for php version, plus an alternate method of determining
   Friday’s date
