Can date and time be displayed as time since tweet?

Going to work on adding this ??

You can use this function and then on 589 on displaytweets.php
change:

$posted_since = apply_filters( 'displaytweets_posted_since', humanTiming(date(strtotime( $tweet->created_at ))) );

function humanTiming ($time){

    $time = time() - $time; // to get the time since that moment

    $tokens = array (
        31536000 => 'year',
        2592000 => 'month',
        604800 => 'week',
        86400 => 'day',
        3600 => 'hour',
        60 => 'minute',
        1 => 'second'
    );

    foreach ($tokens as $unit => $text) {
        if ($time < $unit) continue;
        $numberOfUnits = floor($time / $unit);
        return $numberOfUnits.' '.$text.(($numberOfUnits>1)?'s':'');
    }
}

Awesome, that’s much simpler than what I would have done. Didn’t know WordPress had a humanTiming function!

Thanks a million! ??

This works, thanks.

Just to let you’s know, in v1.0.3 (just released) I’ve added an additional filter for modifying the date/time format string. For example, you could do so with the PHP function below.

function tweet_datetime_string($string) {
    return "l M j \- g:ia";
}
add_filter( 'displaytweets_datetime_format', 'tweet_datetime_string' );

??

Is it possible to remove the time from the display and display just the date, in DD/MM/YYYY style?

Thanks!

EDIT: Worked out how to make this change.

In displaytweets.php, replace lines 601 with the following:

/** Set the date and time format */
                $datetime_format = apply_filters( 'displaytweets_datetime_format', "j F Y" );

I also wanted to pull the date back up to the previous line to conserve screen space, so replaced line 612 with the following

echo "<p>{$this->format_tweet( $tweet->text )}<small class=\"muted\">  ({$posted_since})</small></p>";

Try:

function tweet_datetime_string($string) {
    return "d/m";
}
add_filter( 'displaytweets_datetime_format', 'tweet_datetime_string' );

Might have to fiddle around with the date/time string yourself. Have a look here for more info.
