Released version 1.1.10: the original dates are now available as $data['orig_'], so they can still be accessed when needed from the templates.

Sorry,

I skimmed the previous messages too quickly.

I included the latest version in the package.

I took this to mean "Phorum package", my error.

what is "this"? The module can be turned off in the admin like every other module.

Re: Module: Readable Dates

Scott Finegan — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 08:01:29 -0600

Did I miss a setting for turning this off?

Then I had the same thought ... Thanks for including it for the next version!

Re: Module: Readable Dates

Maurice Makaay — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:18:54 -0500

Well, there is no configuration option for that in the admin module settings, so that kind of gives you the answer. I did not build readable dates for that page. I can keep it in mind for a future version.

Re: Module: Readable Dates

korsakov — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:42:06 -0500

Is the "Follow Threads" page within the account settings not meant to be included for the "Readable Dates" module?

Maurice Makaay — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:38:21 -0500

And thank you for bringing it up!

I tested, and it's fine. Thank you, Maurice :)

Looks nice :) But I have to test it few days.
There were mistakes in my lang file. So, please replace it with new one

Maurice Makaay — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 20:26:04 -0500

Ah right, I see. Almost 3:30am here, so I'm losing some of my sharpness ;-) I'll incorporate this into the module core. Maybe still a bit more generic than with _234

    'seconds_ago_0'    => 'сейчас',
    'seconds_ago_x1'   => 'секунду назад',
    'seconds_ago_x2'   => '%count% секунды назад',
    'seconds_ago_x3'   => '%count% секунды назад',
    'seconds_ago_x4'   => '%count% секунды назад',
    'seconds_ago_x'    => '%count% секунд назад',

So, with the "x" as a sort of wildcard, where x2 means "number ends on 2".

Update: I implemented this idea in the module and I updated your language file to use the above schema. Can you please try if v1.1.9 of the module works for you out-of-the-box?

Re: Module: Readable Dates

sailord — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 20:16:54 -0500

wrong is that we should write


'seconds_ago_2'   => '%count% секунды назад',
'seconds_ago_22'   => '%count% секунды назад',
'seconds_ago_32'   => '%count% секунды назад',
'seconds_ago_44   => '%count% секунды назад',

and so on.

it will be realy large lang file :)
And as far as I know, Spanish users will have the same situation

You are right, it's very specific hack :) so I don't recommend to use it for other languages, because it can cause mistakes

Re: Module: Readable Dates

Maurice Makaay — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 20:12:19 -0500

I think that is a rather specific hack, since there are other languages for which some other combination would be required. What's wrong with doing this in the language file (except for "It wears out my C and V keys on the keybaord ;-) ?

    'seconds_ago_0'   => 'сейчас',
    'seconds_ago_1'   => 'секунду назад',
    'seconds_ago_2'   => '%count% секунды назад',
    'seconds_ago_3'   => '%count% секунды назад',
    'seconds_ago_4'   => '%count% секунды назад',
    'seconds_ago_x'   => '%count% секунд назад',

Russian language is much harder than english in case of numbers. If last digit of some number ends with 1 (101, 151, 100001, etc BUT not 11), we use one suffix fow "hour" word. If number ends with 2,3 or 4 (243, 784, etc) we use another suffix...
So Russian users should use my fix of date_format.php and my new version of lang file.
I believe that my fix to date_format.php shoudn't break numbering in English, but I'm not sure right now.

Thanks for module.

Maurice Makaay — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 17:59:41 -0500

I gave it another thought and this might have something to do with the fact that "not more than two days old" doesn't really mean "today and yesterday". "It means "posted within the last 48 hours". So if you post something at 01:00am, then there's 1 hour in today, 24 hours in yesterday and 23 hours in two days ago.

What this would require (not a bad change so I'll look into it) is that readable dates becomes day-away, so it will match the "x days ago" to what the user expects.

The reason that it is currently somewhat counter-intuitive, is that the "x days ago" was built up from "x seconds ago" -> "x minutes ago" -> "x hours ago". For those it makes sense to look at the time interval. For days and higher however, day/date awareness might be a better approach.

It was showing for all of the two day old posts. I set it back to "2 day" (had it on "1 day" last night, so I wouldn't see the "two days old" listings while I worked). I went and searched for some two day old posts, and found some dated as early as August 07, 2009 02:07AM and as late as August 07, 2009 02:40PM. Odd thing is, it doesn't say "two day old" for them anymore, it just lists the date. If I set the option to "3 day" is when these change back to "two days old". It's strange, but I think the glitch reverted to normal. I have absolutely no idea how though. I didn't re-upload the module, and the settings for the mod are the same as they were a few days ago when the glitch was going on. I can now see just the "Yesterday" and "Today" statements, haven't found any "two day old" ones yet.

Re: Module: Readable Dates

Maurice Makaay — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 07:10:59 -0500

I tried it, but I cannot reproduce it.
Do you see "2 days ago" for every 2 days old post or is this only showing for some of them?

Re: Module: Readable Dates

Ryan — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 19:52:52 -0500

Sorry I wasn't more specific. With "2 day" and "1 day", I'm speaking of the module's settings. I use the following settings:

What granularity would you like to use? days

What is the time limit that you want to use for formatting? 2 days

I only want the readable date to go as far back as to say "yesterday", and to display the "today" dates for posts made that same day. For anything longer, like where it would say "two days ago" and farther, I just want it to display the regular date.

When choose 1 day, it only displays "today", and if I choose "2 days", it will display "yesterday" but it also displays "2 days ago" as well.

Sorry if I'm still not making sense, I'm not great with words.

Today (check)
Yesterday (check)
Two days ago (nu! Get outta here! *kicks*)

Maurice Makaay — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 17:39:53 -0500

I'm not sure I fully get what you're saying. I do get the requirement, but I don't see what you did with the 2 days and 1 day thing. If it's just some language string issues, then you could change mods/readable_dates/lang/english.php, but I'm not sure if that's what you're talking about here. Possibly a bug, but then I'd have to install the module here. I don't have it running currently.

Re: Module: Readable Dates

Ryan — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 17:20:34 -0500

Is there a way to just have just "today" and "yesterday" display, but have everything else be the date? When I check "2 days", I get some that say "two days old", and if I do "1 day", it's just the "today" posts.

Re: Module: Readable Dates

Thomas Seifert — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 06:04:29 -0500

please post this in thread for the appropriate module.
also I don't see the "as it is shown in your forums" as this module isn't installed here.

Re: Module: Readable Dates

discdog — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 04:58:51 -0500

Oh, ok. It works now, thanks a lot. There is another question and it concerns the "last_forum_post" module:

Now it displays the whole last subject and the author. I just want to display "last post" from "author" and the "last post" should be the link to the subject...as it is shown in yopur forums.
