[Solved] Date format to x days ago was created by Remus Ionita

Hi,
First off all thank you for this amazing extension. Keep up the good work!
Secondly I'm using K2 on my site (here -> www.mtrailer.ro/pagina-de-teste/) and I would like to change the format of the date. Now it's like this DATE_FORMAT_LC2 (%A, %d %B %Y %H:%M) and I want to change it to added 2 days ago or 3 months ago or if it's from today, 10 hours, 16 minutes ago.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks!

Regards.

Hi ,

I have no idea why this forum is actually running, i went into ask help and all i see are streaming links to football matches. :S , perhaps you should find a moderators post and reply to his and see if you can get some help like that, otherwise your thread gets bumped down and never to bee seen or replied. In other words this forum lacks so much professional help its amazing why its actually under a k2 banner. :angry:

Hi Remus,

You can read some php documentation on date_diff and see some examples on how it's done. There is such feature in K2 Comments module where you can display the date as relative. To make it work in item view or category view requires some programming skills.

I just did a test, if you want to display the x day ago and time. Follow this guide, i'm sure there's a simpler way to do it in joomla.

Copy the php code found here and paste it into components/com_k2/views/item/view.html.php

Just remove the <?php ?> tags from the code.

Paste below this line (line 360)

Thanks.

Hi,
No error message. Just not working. (as you can see here -> www.mtrailer.ro/pagina-de-teste/)
item.php -> components/com_k2/templates/default
view.html.php -> components/com_k2/views/item
Did I uploaded them in the wrong folder?

edit:
Now I see...
www.mtrailer.ro/pagina-de-teste/item/5-romania.html -> Warning: strtotime() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in /home/rmtrai17/public_html/components/com_k2/views/item/view.html.php on line 243
future event
Also I don't want the date from the item...date from category_item....
