Plugin: Social Date

I finally got round to finish this small plugin of mine.

Social Date

Create relative dates in either the past or the future.

This version of Social Date is developed for ExpressionEngine 1.6.x

Grab a copy from GitHub

Usage

The date given in the date parameter can be in any format as well as in the past or future.

{exp:social_date date='{expiration_date}'} // outputs: 'in about 1 day'
{exp:social_date date='next monday'} // outputs: 'in about 2 days'
{exp:social_date date='1272660359'} // output: '2 hours ago'

It was inspired by both avroo’s Friendly Date plugin as well as Brian Mulloy’s Relative Date plugin. The biggest difference is that this one also accepts dates in the future.

Have fun with it!
