## Açıklama

This plugin lets you configure a variety of halachic time calculations and add them
via shortcodes.

### Zmanim WP

This plugin lets WordPress administrators configure a variety of shitot (halachic
opinions) on time calculation. A series of shortcodes, along with standard options
to control the date, formatting, time offset, and more. These shortcodes can be 
used to display the zmanim (times) in any post, page, widge, or even outbound email
coming from the site.

### Introduction

This plugin would not be possible without the amazing [kosher java](https://github.com/KosherJava/zmanim)
library by [Eliyahu Hershveld](https://kosherjava.com/), which has been [ported to PHP](https://github.com/zachweix/PhpZmanim)
by the incredible [Zachary Weixelbaum](https://www.linkedin.com/in/zachweix/).

For a synagogue or other (Jewish) religious institution, providing times for daily
tefillot prayers, fasts, and events (candle lighting, sundown, etc) is not only 
critical to the mission of the organization, but extremely work-intensive. Either
an admin had to go in and change those times by hand (sometimes daily); or link 
to external sources ([hebcal.com](https://www.hebcal.com/),[myzmanim.com](https://www.myzmanim.com/),
or even google spreadsheets).

These options had multiple drawbacks, the most critical among them being:
 – the
times provided by the external source can’t be customized (to show 5 minutes before
Mincha Gedola, for example) – the times can’t be displayed on the page or post, 
but rather only allow for a link that takes the visitor out of the organization’s
website. – No support for the full range of WordPress options (pages, posts, widgets,
automatic emails, etc)

Zmanim WP addresses all of these issues and more.

First, the WordPress admin provides location information and selects from a range
of shitot (halachic opinions) which will use the [kosher java library](https://github.com/KosherJava/zmanim)
by [Eliyahu Hershveld](https://kosherjava.com/). This sets up the fundamental time
calculations.

Next, pages, posts, widges, etc can be created using a comprehensive list of shortcodes
which allow the display of various zmanim across the website.

The admin page options and shortcodes are described in detail below.

### Usage – the Admin Panel

The admin panel lets you set some basic information about the website – location,
name, etc – and also select from a list of pre-set time calculation systems.

For the drop-down selections (Alot Hashachar, Misheyakir, etc), there is a detailed
explanation of each option at the bottom of this README file.

Details information appear below.

### Zmanim WP Page

On the initial page, you can set the following items:

– Time Zone – The [IANA Time Zone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones)
formatted string for the time zone of the website. All time calculations will take
this time zone into consideration.
 – Latitude/Longitude – The standard latitude
and longitude for this location. – Location Name – Any name you want to give. – 
Molad Text – The text which will be used as the title for the section announcing
the Molad. This can include HTML formatting. – Rosh Chodesh Text – The text which
will be used as the title for the section announcing Rosh Chodesh. This can include
HTML formatting.

### Standard Times

The standard times page is where you select your shitot for each of the various 
zmanim. Open the drop-down next to each item and select the appropriate shita. For
a brief explanation of each of the zmanim, see [this page on the Orthodox Union web site](https://outorah.org/p/41921/).

– Candle Offset – Time, in minues, before shkia that candles will be lit for Shabbat
–
Alot Hashachar – “daybreak”, or the time when some light is visible. – Misheyakir–
the time when one can put on Tallit and Tefillin. – Sha’ah Zmanim – A halachic hour,
or 1/12 of the available daylight time. – Sof Zman Kria Shema – the latest time 
one can say Shema. – Sof Zman Tefilla – the latest time one can pray Shacharit. –
Mincha Gedola – The earliest time one can pray Mincha – Mincha Ketana – by some 
authorities, the preferable time to pray Mincha – Plag HaMincha – the mid-point 
between Mincha Ketana and sunset, and and used for various decisions about when 
to light candles, pray on Friday, etc. – Start of Bain HaShmashot – “Twilight”, 
or the time between Shkia (sunset) and Tzait haKochavim (nightfall) – Tzait haKochavim–“
Nightfall”, or the starting time for varios mitzvot that are to be performed at 
night.

NOTE: Netz haChama (sunrise) and Shkia (sunset) are always calculated using nautical
sunrise / sunset at sea level for the given latitude and longitude.

### Early Shabbat Options\*

Some congregations prefer to switch to “early” times to begin Shabbat between spring
and fall, when days are longer. The Zmanim WP plugin allows you to automatically
set the start and stop date based on:

– A Gregorian (secular) date
 – A Hebrew date – When either plag or sunset (Shkia)
occur after a set time – During daylight savings time

You can identify the start and end date for early Shabbat based on a single condition
above, or based on a combination of the above factors.

Once set, there are four available shortcodes: [zman_early_shabbat_1] through [zman_early_shabbat_4].
Each shortcode has possible results: something to display when it’s early Shabbat,
and something to display when it’s regular time.

You can set the early/regular display using any combination of plain text, HTML,
and other Zmanim WP shortcodes.

Example 1: early Mincha (on Friday only) should be 20 minutes before Plag haMincha.
Regular Mincha should be 22 minutes before Shkia (sunset). For this you’d set the“
Early Calculation” to be: [zman_plag offset=-20 date=”friday”]. And the “Regular
Calculation” to: [zman_sunset offset=-22 date=”friday”]

Example 2: On Friday nights, Shir haShirim is sung either 35 minutes before Plag
haMincha (if it’s early Shabbat); or after Kabbalat Shabbat (if it’s regular time).
For this you’d set the “Early Calculation” to: [zman_plag offset=-35 date=”friday”];
and the “Regular Calculation” to: “after Kabbalat Shabbat”

### Full Year Display\*

Many congregations like to publish a full year’s worth of zmanim, in column-and-
row format. This page allows for a grid of times with the following configuration
options:

At the top of the page, the administrator chooses whether the display will start
on January 1 (and sets the year); or 1 Tishrei (and sets the year).

NOTE: the correct (secular / Hebrew) year must be used in combination with start
date.
 ALSO NOTE: Leaving this blank will default to the current year.

Finally, select whether the rows will display each day, or just a single day in 
each week. If “weekly” is chosen, the day of the week to display is also required.

Then, in the table display at the bottom of the page, the admin will set the column
titles and what should display in each column.

– The titles can contain any combination of text and HTML.
 – The actual display
should can use any combination of text, HTML, and Zmanim WP shortcodes.

NOTE: Up to 10 columns are available.

To use this feature, add the shortocde “[zman_fullyear]” once on a post or page.
The entire table will be rendered whenever it’s displayed.

### Using the shortcodes

Shortcodes are the primary focus of the Zmanim WP plugin. While configuration seems
important at first, it’s generally a one-time activity. As a reminder, these shortcodes
can can be used in almost any area of the WordPress system including Posts, Pages,
Widgets, and any other element (whether it’s built-in or an add-on option via another
plugin) that supports shortcodes.

Broadly speaking, shortcodes consist of a keyword surrounded by square brackets.
For this Zmanim WP, all shortcodes begin with the zman_ prefix.

Example:
 [zman_alot]

Most of the Zmanim WP shortcodes will take optional parameters after the main keyword.
These parameters allow administrators to control everything from the language used
to the format a time appears in to an offset of minutes before or after the calculated
zman.

Examples:
 1) Display the Torah Portion in Hebrew rather than English: [zman_parsha
lang=”hebrew”]

2) Display the time 20 minutes before Shkia (sunset):
 [zman_sunset offset=-20]

3) Display the time for misheyakir, but show military style time with seconds and
am/pm:
 [zman_misheyakir dateformat=’H:i:s a’]

### Shortcode Options

The parameters which are available across all (or at least most) Zmanim WP shortcodes
are:
 – date: Indicates relative or specific date you want. Valid options include:–
today – show the time for the current date (when the page / post is being viewed)–
tomorrow – show the time for the day after the current date – sunday, monday, tuesday,
etc – show the time for the next upcoming weekday indicated. – (actual date) – Any
reasonable date format (2023-01-20, Jan 20, 2023, 1/20/23, etc.) will show the time
for that specific date.

Example: `[zman_alot date="Wednesday"]`
 Example: `[zman_alot date="2023-01-20"]`

Notes: Leaving this option blank defaults to “today”.

– offset: A number of minutes (including fractions – i.e. 10.5), either positive
or negative, to adjust the time by.

Example: `[zman_alot offset=-10]`
 Example: `[zman_alot offset=20]` Example: `[zman_alot
offset=+20]`

Notes: Leaving this option blank defaults to 0. If no sign (+ or -) is given, the
number is assumed to be positive.

– dateformat: this takes PHP codes to format the output. [Here’s a nice tutorial](https://www.tutorialrepublic.com/php-tutorial/php-date-and-time.php)
on those codes. And [here is the full PHP page](https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.formats.php)
on the topic.

Example: `[zman_alot dateformat="m/d/Y h:i:s a"]`

Notes: Leaving this option blank defaults to “h:i a”, or hh:mm am/pm (i.e.: 10:32
pm).

### Special-case shortcode options

The following parameters only work with certain Zmanim WP shortcodes.

**lang**
 It displays the information in English (the default) or Hebrew. Applies
to: Rosh Chodesh ([zman_chodesh]), the Molad ([zman_molad]), and the Parsha ([zman_parsha]).
Example: `[zman_parsha lang="hebrew"]`

**month**
 Indicates a specific Hebrew month. Applies to: Rosh Chodesh ([zman_chodesh])
and the Molad ([zman_molad]).

Valid options include:

– this – show information for the end of this month, beginning of next month.
 –
next – show information for the end of next month. – Specify a particular month,
by number. This uses the Hebrew month numbering, with Nissan = 1.

Example: [zman_chodesh month=1 ]

NOTE: If you specify a year (see below), you may get Rosh Chodesh for a date which
has already passed (i.e.: If you ask for month=4 (Tammuz), and it’s already Elul(
month 6))

**year**
 Indicates the Hebrew year you’d like for this calculation. It uses the
same options as “month” (this, next, or a number). Applies to: Rosh Chodesh ([zman_chodesh])
and the Molad ([zman_molad]).

Example: `[zman_chodesh year="next"]`

**timeformat**
 Like dateformat (see above) this uses [PHP formatting codes](https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php)
to specify the time format. This extra option is needed because Misheyakir Weekly
is intended to show this zman for multiple days in a series, with separate date 
and time formatting. Applies to: Weekly Misheyakir display ([zman_misheyakirweekly]).

**daynum**
 The day number 0-6, where 0 is Sunday), for a list of times. Applies
to: Weekly Misheyakir display ([zman_misheyakirweekly]) See that shortcode below
for more information and examples.
