The problems:
- lots and lots of unnecessary repetition. Seriously, the code could have been 1/4 of the size and complexity
- filters are forced and added automatically - the plugin forces itself onto 4 date formats widely used in WordPress. I had to turn them all off manually and then call appropriate functions by hand, as it was messing with existing dates:
// Remove all automatic RelativeDate plugin functions
remove_filter('the_date', 'relative_post_date', 999, 4);
remove_filter('the_time', 'relative_post_time', 999);
remove_filter('get_comment_time', 'relative_comment_time', 999);
remove_filter('get_comment_date', 'relative_comment_date', 999);- after all this, there is actually no function to convert a given date to relative date on the fly - there is no way to pass anything to the plugin, as it only contains a few prebuilt functions
All of the above is quite upsetting, since I respect you as a developer and you've written many plugins. I hope one day you decide to evolve it and take it to the next level.
