Description
This plugin detects units of measurement (e.g. « 10 lbs ») and will add the metric or non-metric equivalent (e.g. « 4.5 kilograms »). The converted measurement can be added in several ways:
- as a mouse-over, or
- in brackets after the original measurement, e.g. « 10 lbs (4.5 kilograms) ».
It is useful if you use lots of measurements and are writing for an international audience.
Currently Supported Conversions
- Celsius Fahrenheit
- Centimetres inches
- Grams ounces
- Kilograms pounds
- Kilometres miles
- Kilojoules (food) calories
- Litres gallons
- Metres feet
- Millilitres fluid ounces
Note that these non-metric units are in US customary units.
Bugs
- Converted measurements will always be written in their canonical/long name, e.g. ‘kilograms’ instead of ‘kg’.
- Cannot handle quoted aliases (e.g. 5′ or 9″) or composite measurements, e.g. 5’9″.
To report any bugs please do so from the plugin homepage.
Plans
- An options page to configure various aspects of the plugin.
- Auto-detection for which measurement abbreviation to use for the converted unit (lbs -> kg, pounds -> kilograms).
- An option to use Imperial measurements as distinct from US customary units.
Installation
- Upload the
unit-converter/directory to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
FAQ
- The mouseover method is the default. How do I use the parentheses?
-
As there is no options page (yet), you will need to edit the
/wp-content/plugins/unit-converter.phpfile around line 31 and change:$display_mode = 'mouseover';to
$display_mode = 'parentheses';
