A lightweight implementation of the Timeago jQuery plugin, allowing fuzzy timestamps to be dynamically generated and displayed.
<time datetime="2012-02-11T22:05:00-05:00">Feb 11, 2012</time>
<time title="Feb 11, 2012" datetime="2012-02-11T22:05:00-05:00">3 years ago</time> <time title="2/11/2012, 10:05:00 PM" datetime="2012-02-11T22:05:00-05:00">3 years ago on Feb 11, 2012</time>
In the config section of the script there are a few options that can be configured.
whitelist: Only process <time> tags with this attribute. Setting it to null disables whitelisting (all <time> tags are processed).keepDate: If true, don't replace the date in the <time> tags, prepend the fuzzy time to it (see the second example above).Additionally, the text can all be customized.
Step 2 can be skipped if whitelist is set to null in the config.
<time> tags, making sure they have a datetime attribute. The datetime attribute MUST be ISO 8601 formatted.<time> tags that should be converted to fuzzy times, add data-timeago attributes to them.lw-timeago.js file in the html head (<script src="lw-timeago.js" type="text/javascript"></script>).lw_timeago() function when the page loads (<script type="text/javascript">window.addEventListener("load", lw_timeago);</script>).Copyright (c) 2008-2015, Ryan McGeary Copyright (c) 2015 Carey Metcalfe Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
