[wp-hackers] Allowing future posts

[Kaf Oseo]

#2 is pretty trivial these days:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Show Future Posts
Description: Display all posts with a timestamp in the future.
Version: R1
  */

function display_future_where($where) {
	global $wpdb;
		$where .= " OR $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'future' ";
	return $where;
}

add_filter('posts_where', 'display_future_where');
?>
