How to show time of any posted item

[mkmobi]

not working
i got a big error after updating function.php 
 

[TheDeadLives]

you must not put <?php , you must put the code in the already created php in function without <?php><?>

[frosticek]

I think he wanted to say, you cannot place that code between <?php ?>, so if you have something like this:
<?php
code...
code...
code...
?>

then add before that code tag ?> and after that code tag <?php

you must not put <?php , you must put the code in the already created php in function without <?php><?>

Yes, that was what i was trying to explain

[serjuc11111]

I have one code. If the item was posted today, it will show today. If it was posted yesterday it will show yesterday, etc. It is working in osclass 3.1.2

Code: [Select]

<?php

$date = osc_item_field("dt_pub_date");
$yesterday = 172800;
$today = 86400;
$time = strtotime($date);
$time = time()-$time;

if ($today > $time) {echo '<b>Today</b>';}
else if ($yesterday > $time && $yesterday > $today) {echo '<b>Yesterday</b>';}
else if ($time> $yesterday) {echo osc_format_date(osc_item_pub_date());}

?>

this code needs one more conditions....
day and at 24:00...if ad was posted yesterday at 23:00 and current date/time is "today" 01:00 am this will show ad was posted today..what is wrong....was posted yesterday...this conditions is no need if ($today > $time)

Here is the much better code I personally wrote! It is actually my first php solution that does something usefull.
Of course, thanks to TheDeadLives for the original idea!

Reference points are item's relative publishing Date&Time, not absolute ones, so I dropped ref points like 'today' and 'yesterday' in my code simply because I couldn't figure how to subtract absolute dates, instead of time. After all, relative time is more informative.

it ok but how to display "today"??it is easy to count the difference hours and display this
12 hours ago....for example...
yesterday post ad at 23:00
today at 05:00 i want to displya "posted yesterday" -difference hour are only 6...but the days are different..a diffeerence by 1 sec change the day"yesterday"with "today"

[shamim_biplob]

Hi mkombi,

I've just noticed and corrected a bug: 6 week -> 6 days.

Regards,
dev101

[sirjones]

then how to show ON GOING based Date Interval from Custom fields?

if we input at Custom fields as Date interval let say From 02/13/2014 To 03/13/2014 it should show ON GOING

[sirjones]

any idea how to convert dev101's script to the fucntion ?

e.g.

Code: [Select]

<?php
function osc_time_diff () {

//dev101's script here ....

} 
?>

[dev101]

Hi sirjones,

put this into functions.php before ?> tag:

Code: [Select]

function osc_time_diff() {

$pubdate = osc_item_field("dt_pub_date");
$pubdateformat = strtotime($pubdate);
$now = time();
$diff = $now - $pubdateformat;
$diffhours = floor($diff/3600);
$diffminutes = floor($diff/60);
$zero = 0;
$oneminute = 1;
$sixtyminutes = 60;
$onehour = 1;
$oneday = 24;
$twodays = 48;
$threedays = 72;
$fourdays = 96;
$fivedays = 120;
$sixdays = 144;
$sevendays = 168;
$eightdays = 192;
$ninedays = 216;
$tendays = 240;
$elevendays = 264;
$twelvedays = 288;
$thirteendays = 312;
$fourteendays = 336;
$fifteendays = 360;

if ($diffminutes == $zero) {echo 'just posted!' ;}
else if ($diffminutes == $oneminute) {echo '1 minute ago' ;}
else if ($diffminutes > $oneminute && $diffminutes < $sixtyminutes) {echo $diffminutes . ' minutes ago' ;}
else if ($diffhours == $onehour) {echo '1 hour ago';}
else if ($diffhours > $onehour && $diffhours < $oneday) {echo $diffhours . ' hours ago';}
else if ($diffhours >= $oneday && $diffhours < $twodays) {echo '1 day ago';}
else if ($diffhours >= $twodays && $diffhours < $threedays) {echo '2 days ago';}
else if ($diffhours >= $threedays && $diffhours < $fourdays) {echo '3 days ago';}
else if ($diffhours >= $fourdays && $diffhours < $fivedays) {echo '4 days ago';}
else if ($diffhours >= $fivedays && $diffhours < $sixdays) {echo '5 days ago';}
else if ($diffhours >= $sixdays && $diffhours < $sevendays) {echo '6 week ago';}
else if ($diffhours >= $sevendays && $diffhours < $eightdays) {echo '1 week ago';}
else if ($diffhours >= $eightdays && $diffhours < $ninedays) {echo '8 days ago';}
else if ($diffhours >= $ninedays && $diffhours < $tendays) {echo '9 days ago';}
else if ($diffhours >= $tendays && $diffhours < $elevendays) {echo '10 days ago';}

else if ($diffhours >= $fourteendays && $diffhours < $fifteendays) {echo '2 weeks ago';}
else if ($diffhours > $fifteendays) {echo osc_format_date(osc_item_pub_date());}

}

call the function wherever you like:

Code: [Select]

<?php echo osc_time_diff(); ?>

Hi fog,

translation can be a bit tricky, this really depends on a language(s) used, that is why I scilently ignored it.

For example, there are languages that have different sentance constructions depending on the number, like changing the male/female attribute of a number or some similar property. So, in order to create unified version for translation, users should adjust the granularity of the script to allow those cases to be translated separately in the correct way. But, it is pretty much straightforward, just add some new variables and else if cases. I do not know every language in the world, but I guess there are many exceptions.

Thanks for the idea!

Regards
