TimeFormat for ProcessWire v1.0.3

This is a tiny ProcessWire Modules used for formatting times as 'X seconds ago', 'minutes ago'. It goes up to decades.

Important note: this module uses 'soft limit' for units. That means that it will show '8 days ago' for 8 days, but '1 week ago' for 9 days, for instance. This will be configurable in one of the later releases.

Requirements

  • ProcessWire 2.2
  • PHP 5.3+

Usage

It's very simple. Load module, pass the timestamp to format function. Bam, done.

  $time_format = $modules->get('ToolsTimeFormat');
  $posted = $time_format->ago($page->created);
