Time Ago - Download

Converts past date to “1 minute ago”, “5 days ago” etc.

Usage:

{exp:channel:entries channel="news"}
{exp:time_ago}{entry_date}{/exp:time_ago}
{/exp:channel:entries}

Youku EE - Download

Fetches Youku (Chinese Youtube clone) video clip information.

Usage:

{exp:youku_ee:video_info video_id="{video_id}" partner_id="{partner_id}" refresh="60"}
{swf} /* swf file URL */
{image} /* thumbnail */
{title}
{description}
{duration}
{date format="%D, %F %d, %Y - %g:%i:%s"}
{/exp:youku_ee:video_info}

Video ID - e.g. XMjA0NDQ3MTQ4

Partner ID - e.g. XMzA0 (you need to register with Youku to get your own)

Updates:

v0.2
- Added caching: refresh=“60” will cache data for 60 minutes
- Added description: {description}

Hi, Milan - I have moved this up to Community News and removed the files.  You’ll need to host these yourselves - please see our guidelines.

Thanks!

Sorry about that! I wasn’t aware that you changed the policy.

Files are now sitting in my Dropbox 😊

Thanks for Time Ago, very useful.

can you advise the format date should be in to be converted ? I wish to use this in conjunction with Twitter timeline - thanks

@adamprocter:

If you want to use it with Twitter Timeline, you need to do two things:

1) Use the created_at variable like this: {created_at format="%U"}  The %U timestamp format there matches the default output of the {entry_date} variable in the {exp:channel:entries} tag

2) add parse=“inward” to your Twitter Timeline tag:
{exp:twitter_timeline limit="10" screen_name="yours" twitter_refresh="30" parse="inward"}

parse=“inward” will make sure the timestamp is output before {exp:time_ago} is parsed.

thank you that’s great :D Was using the parse inward anyway for fixing entities too

Great news for all (both?) of Youku loving developers - I’ve updated Youku EE plugin!

I’ve added caching - it’s much quicker now!

hey, just can’t download the file, please help

Is this compatible with comment entries?

{exp:time_ago revert_to_date_format="%d %F %Y"}{comment_date}{/exp:time_ago}

It gives me a syntax error:

Error

The following tag has a syntax error:

{exp:time_ago}

Please correct the syntax in your template.

I wish this addon support {edit_date} of entry.

I think this is asked above, but does anyone know whether or not you can make this work with the date a comment was posted? Thanks!

Well answered my own question by simply trying it and Yes! it does work!

All,

Note sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but when testing comments on my site with Time ago installed I keep getting the following error”

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined offset: 7
Filename: time_ago/pi.time_ago.php
Line Number: 68

each time that I submit the comment. If I refresh the comment is there, and its registered ok, just not sure why its throwing this error up?

Updated to latest version of this and latest twitter timeline but parse inwards

{exp:twitter_timeline screen_name="adamprocter" create_links="user_mentions|hashtags|urls" parse="inward"}

means that even with create_links=“user_mentions|hashtags|urls”

Only user_mentions are turned into links ?

Removing create_links=“user_mentions|hashtags|urls”

and user_mentions are still links

any fixes ? please
