@dafyomilimerick I used to make fun of people who davened from their phones but honestly smartsiddur is my favorite app. If I can use this opportunity to recommend it to people (they are not paying me to say this, I'm just obsessed). It really has everything. You have to pay $3 for the zmanim, which update themselves every time you open the app in a new location, but really that's nothing compared to shlepping around an actual siddur (or paying for one, for those who don't have one yet). And every time there's something special you need to say for a time of year or a chag or something it inserts it for you.

I’ve been working on a Zemanim* plugin - and I’ve got it working great in Javascript + jQuery, but I’m trying to transfer parts of it back to being PHP, so it can work well as a plugin/widget, and I’m super lost on a lot of that primarily because of AJAX issues.

The main issue at this point is that it utilizes the HTML5 Geolocation API, and I need a fallback for browsers that don’t support that and/or users who don’t want to let the site use their location data. 

I’ve been trying to fall back to the PHP of the plugin I’d originally based this off of - though, as I’m writing this out, it just occurred to me that I could simply rewrite that portion of the plugin that functionality using Javascript!!
