How to? Post date change

[xconrex]

Hello all,

When posting it will give a date.
Example when somebody posted a week ago it will appear as '8-06-2014'.

Is there a way I can turn this date into 'A week ago' ?
I'm not a PHP Developer so I'm wondering how hard this is to make.

Been browsing through the docs and came across this.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
Is that related?

Anyhow, if somebody could tell me how to do this it would be appreciated.
Would also not mind paying a small fee for it.

Thanks!

You will need to use relative time. MyBB 1.8 comes with it.

No problem

and if i would to come back to a previous way, linke instead "6 hours ago" i would have "9.55.00"

is it still possibile with 1.8?

Yes, you need to set the my_date parameter related to date format to the format you want.

(right now i've installed a plugin who solve the problem.  http://doylecc.altervista.org/en/time.html ) but if i may not use a plugin is even better.

thank you again for your help
