Plugin: Hot Date

Do you schedule entries, or otherwise modify the Entry Date field? Do you sometimes forget a leading zero, for example, to create a valid, two-digit hour field? Hot Date is just what you need: drop-down time selectors in 12-hour format along with a few other features that make setting the date a breeze!

The screenshot at the right tells the story of Hot Date, before and after!

• Schedule according to the 12-hour clock with am/pm selectors you’re familiar with, rather than 24-hour time.
• Disable the “seconds” display because, really, does it matter what second you publish at? (A selectable option.)
• Work with an abbreviated minute list in five-minute increments. (A selectable option.)
• Refresh the time to be current with the green arrows button.

Current version: 1.1.2, released May 5, 2009.
