For example to get the following

Every 20th Monday of the year, forever:
DTSTART;TZID=US-Eastern:19970519T090000
RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;BYDAY=20MO

==> (1997 9:00 AM EDT)May 19
(1998 9:00 AM EDT)May 18
(1999 9:00 AM EDT)May 17

One could get the first Monday of the year, the it is fairly easy to get the 20th !

I now use the following code, which appears to work when comparing the weekdays using http://www.searchforancestors.com/utility/dayofweek.html

$w = $dateobj->format('w');
if ($w == '-1') $w = get_oldweekdays($dateobj);

function get_oldweekdays ($d) {
   $dummy = new DateTime();
   $dummy = clone ($d);
   date_modify($dummy,'+91500 weeks');
   /* add weeks to get us back to a "working" date -
   a guess from when the date started breaking, plus some extra to be safe */
   $w = $dummy->format('w');
 return($w);
}

function dayofyear2date( $year, $DayInYear ) {
$d = new DateTime($year.'-01-01');
date_modify($d, '+'.($DayInYear-1).' days');
return ($d);
}

I’m tired of seeing Unix time stamp code examples that break with older dates. Since my ical calendar scripts can potentially hold recurring dates that are anniversaries and birthdays, my scripts need to cope with dates earlier than 1970, and with timezones and daylight saving, so I use the DateTime class exclusively now.

Test Script To Check Function

<?php

function dayofyear2date( $year, $DayInYear ) {
 $d = new DateTime($year.'-01-01');
 date_modify($d, '+'.($DayInYear-1).' days');
return ($d);
}

$d[] = new DateTime('1950-12-31');
$d[] = new DateTime('1970-01-01');
$d[] = new DateTime('2010-01-01');
$d[] = new DateTime('2010-12-27');
$d[] = new DateTime('2010-12-31');

foreach ($d as $i => $d2)    {
 $dayofyear = $d2->format('z')+1;
 $date = dayofyear2date (
 $d2->format('Y'),
 $dayofyear ); /* note z returns days from 0 */
 echo '<br /><b>'.$d2->format('Y m d')
  .'</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;'.$dayofyear.'&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />'
  .$date->format('Y m d');
}
?>

EG:

[do_widget id=tag_cloud-3]

or

[do_widget "Tag Cloud"]

The trick is to be sure that you have the correct id’s, and the id names correct. For example, to double check I added two tag cloud widgets to my play system. The id’s ended up being “tag_cloud-3″ and “tag_cloud-4″. You also need a separate do_widget for each – don’t put in the same shortcode
Note:

1. the underscore and the hyphen
2. the fact that they were not numbered 1 and 2, even though I currently had no other tag cloud widgets

How to find out the widget id?

In the post or page where you have entered the shortcode, add to the url:

?do_widget_debug

(replace ? with & if you already have a ?)

If the do_widget shortcode fires, then it will list your sidebars and the widget ids and a bunch of other statements. Find the shortcode sidebar and see what the id of the widget is

Alternatively:

In some browser you can hover over your widgets or the edit links in the widget sidebar to really see what the id’s are.

How to do the shortcode any widget

and the result is……..

Multiple widget instances
