[Microhoops] Insert date

[gabriel-dehan]

Microhoops should display a date when showed in the form xx seconds/minutes/hours ago and in the form "On the XX of XX" if they are older

If you want, I've got an old PHP function from cifamily, not sure if its optimized (and its in french yes) :

$current_date = new DateTime('now');
$previous_date = new DateTime($date);
$interval = $previous_date->diff($current_date);
$translated_date = translateDate($previous_date->format('l j F'));
$s = '';

if ($interval->y > 1) {
    //Jeudi 03 mars 2010
    return $date_posted = 'le ' . $translated_date . ' ' . $previous_date->format('Y');
}
elseif ($interval->d > 2) {
    //Jeudi 03 mars
    return $date_posted = 'le ' . $translated_date;
}
elseif ($interval->d >= 1) {
    //Hier à 02:21
    return $date_posted = 'hier à ' . $previous_date->format('h:i');
}
elseif ($interval->h >= 1) {
    //Il y a 7 heure(s)
    if ($interval->h > 1) $s = 's';
    return $date_posted = 'il y a ' . $interval->h .  ' heure' . $s;
}
elseif ($interval->h < 1 && $interval->i >= 1) {
    //Il y a 4 minute(s)
    if ($interval->i > 1) $s = 's';
    return $date_posted = 'il y a ' . $interval->i .  ' minute' . $s;
}
else {
    //Il y a 12 seconde(s)
    if ($interval->s > 1) $s = 's';
    return $date_posted = 'il y a ' . $interval->s .  ' seconde' . $s;
}
