Display age of listing

[Niall Boylan]

Is there a smarty short code for displaying age of listing.

eg: if the listing was listed an hour ago it will say 1 hour.


Thanks

Hello Niall,
Smarty doesn't have such modifier by default but I found some solutions in the web:
- https://github.com/nZEDb/nZEDb/blob/...er.timeago.php
- https://gist.github.com/dodyrw/4943269
- http://www.smarty.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=61841

You should create file (modifier) in this dir: /libs/smarty/plugins/modifier.MODIFIER_NAME.php
and past the modifier code from the sample to the file. After that you may use the modifier as:
{$listing.Date|MODIFIER_NAME}

I hope it was clear explanation, let me know if not.
John

I like where you going with this
http://www.smarty.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=61841 seems to be the best option but Im lost on how to implement this ie how does the modifier script know the age of the listing... Could you please please please help me out on this one. Im sure you could use this feature in your next update.

Ameer, how did you call the listing date in the .tpl file using the Smarty relative date?

Ameer, how did you call the listing date in the .tpl file using the Smarty relative date?

Hi Samuel Nduati,

I make it work now for 2 language English and Arabic
>>> http://goo.gl/jpTD79 <<<


Here Are The Steps:-

1.Go To ----> public_html/libs/smarty/plugins
And Create file called >>modifier.timeAgo.php<< "note: you can create another one for other language as i did >>modifier.timeAgo-ar.php <<

Then edit file and paste this code inside it :-

Only registered members can view the code.

2.Now go to Use This to call the listing date in tpl file --> to Get Full Time use this

Only registered members can view the code.

And if you want just Time Ago from posting ad use this only:-

Only registered members can view the code.

3.This one used in listing detail block for category listing block or listing.tpl just use this:

Only registered members can view the code.

Hope everyone be happy

My Regards
Ameer

Hello Nail,

You can try to use this code:

Only registered members can view the code.

in file: ftp://templates>>your_template>>tpl>>blocks>>listing.tpl

That code did not work sorry Viktor..

Change to
<span> {$listing_data.Date|date_format:$smarty.const.RL_D ATE_FORMAT}</span>

This One Works
