Ever wanted to have a blog recorded in Shire Reckoning?<\/p>\n
How about Islamic dates? Well, now, you can do just that in MovableType thanks to my CustomDates plugin<\/a>. I started with code from a plugin done by zumaidi and posted on the MovableType Support boards<\/a>. Then, I added a CPAN module <\/a>by Tom Braun for calculating the date according to Shire Reckoning. <\/p>\n As far as I can tell, no one has done this before. Not sure why no one’s done anything sooner, but I was totally dissatisfied with the lack of a custom date feature in MovableType. Luckily for me, one of the better features of MT is that it’s extendable with PERL. So, I put this little baby together. It’s not perfect, but it does a fairly good job. I still need to make some improvements and add in some more date systems, like Hebrew and the Forgotten Realms, but it’s good enough to release now, I think.

\nYou can see and example of it running at my test blog<\/a>. Of course, as I add and test new features, that test blog will change a bit.<\/p>\n
