[For 1.8] Less than 1 minute ago > % second(s) ago

[JonathanP]

Isn't this already apart of 1.8?

Nope, it shows Less than 1 minute ago instead of seconds ago.

Looks like ATofighi made a ninja edit to the code. Try it out again guys.

Works now, thanks

If you are not a fan of core edits you can get the same functionality using the "my_date" hook.

if($diff <= 60)
{
    // seconds ago
    if($diff == 1) {
        return $diff . ' second ago';
    }
   else {
    return $diff . ' seconds ago';
   }
} 

thats works fine
but how to change the language of the seconds ago

[Schrotti]

Thanks to the OP for this nice nifty suggestion! +1!

Isn't this already apart of 1.8?

As per 1.8.7, not yet.

...but how to change the language of the seconds ago

The fact it was done in a non-localized manner might be one of the reasons why this modification has not been added to MyBB yet.
Another reason might be that this modification has more errors. For example, the premature returning can break plugins.

Thus I believe the proper way to do this modification would look more like the following:

In the code section the OP mentioned, replace the line

	$relative['prefix'] = $lang->rel_less_than;

(or, if present, the code of the OP) with this line:

        $date = ' ' . (($diff <= 1) ? $lang->rel_seconds_single : $lang->rel_seconds_plural) . ' ago';

In the file inc/languages/english add these two lines

$l['rel_seconds_single'] = "second";
$l['rel_seconds_plural'] = "seconds";

at about line 348.
If you use language packs, you have to add the according entries there respectively.

I think I'll have to make a pull request soon to get this modification included in a later version of MyBB.
