time format?

Ok so with help from staff I was able to change my forums last post time to say "X minutes ago"

So now I want to change this in a older mod I have. The code is like this....

Code:

$gnptime = vbdate('H:i', $gthread[lastpost]);

What would I change the 'H:i' to get it the same detailed time like X minutes ago?

Try something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
$gnptime = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $gthread[lastpost], true);

You don't replace it with anything. The variable being used $vbulletin->options['timeformat'] will be in your vBulletin date/time format options.

If you want to learn about the "H:i" modifier characters, view this page:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

Have you tried

PHP Code:


		
			
$gnptime = vbdate('i', $gthread[lastpost]);

If you want to do it in a more complicated way it would be:

PHP Code:


		
			
$majormin = date('H', $gthread[lastpost]) * 60;

$minormin = date('i', $gthread[lastpost]);



$gnptime = $majormin+$minormin;

I know and I did thank you but that didnt do anything.... See I used 'H:i A' BUT It still shows army time. I tried the other guys code and it shows the wrong time.

heres mine.....

I want it to look like
21-3, 9:08 PM

Lastly I really wanted it to look say it was posted 1 minute ago...

21-3, 1 Minute ago

IS this possible?

That's why I gave you the php manual page, it tells you how to make your own date format string. But since you're too lazy, here...

For "21-3, 9:08 PM" Use:

PHP Code:


		
			
$gnptime = vbdate('j-n, g:i', $gthread[lastpost]);

For the "1 Minute ago" thing, normally date's aren't shown - that's generally only if the post was made within an hour in the past. You'll have to do some math if you want that to display properly.

PHP Code:


		
			
//number of minutes between now and last post

$time_difference = (time() - $gthread[lastpost]) / 60;



if( $time_difference < 60 )

{

    $gnptime = vbdate('j-n', $gthread[lastpost]);

    $gnptime .= ', '. $time_difference .' minutes ago';

}

else

{

    $gnptime = vbdate('j-n, g:i', $gthread[lastpost]);

}

sorry I am lazy I thought maybe someone knew off the top of their head as ive seen this on many forums. THanks for your hard work. Lately I have been lazy, working alot! thanks!

--------------- Added [DATE]1237755290[/DATE] at [TIME]1237755290[/TIME] ---------------

OK I see what u mean by the date thing so I guess I will remove that. Now I tried some of the code without the date thing but that only will show just a comma now? Any idea on that? I have tried the coding found at php website with no good results.

All times are GMT. The time now is 02:33 PM.
