Version: 1.0.1.1 - Display ending date on listing detail page

Use the link on the right to download the installer. There currently still are two installers. If you are unsure use the one labeled Modified. If you have never had problems installing, you can use the one labeled Original. The difference is the Modified installer includes a file missing from some PCs, so it is larger.

Details
Saw some requests to display the ending date of the listing in the listing detail page. I had been showing the date of the last bid date. After some thought I have modified the extension to display the start date and the estimated end date. Here is a snapshot of the modification.



The ending date is estimated based on the time left, in this example 38 minutes. Estimated because the borrower can sometimes end the listing early. I may drop the Estimated in a future version. The time is based on your current time zone. Mine is EST.

Also on the search result pages, if you hover the mouse over the time left, the extension will display the estimated ending date. Leave a comment if you think I should just add it as a field.

Now believe it or not, Windows does not have a nice handy function that gives you the 3 letter time zone code. And right now I'm doing the lazy method of calculation. So if you find your time zone code is incorrect, please leave a comment.
