???
Open include/functions.php
find:

}Can't find the original post... sorry.
Thanks, it is working, but litlebit too extreme.
I have posts like "29 weeks ago". It would be enough if after one or two months there would be date (2007-06-19).
Reason why I wanted this was to make more easy to understand when post has been written, - without some calculations. Also if there is only "today" and "yesterday" then post which is done 3 days ago looks the same old as one which is 3 month ago.
Now is again may be too many numbers. Now 3 minutes or 3 houers ago has again nummber as 3 weeks (and later possibly 3 month, 3 years) ago.
So another thing which would be better - that when is written today or yesterday, then would be written "Today, 3 hours ago" and not just "3 hours ago".
But after "yesterday" could be this system which changes to 2007-09-25 after month...
This should show:
Today, 23 seconds ago by x
Today, 2 mins ago by x
Today, 4 hours ago by x
Yesterday, 35 hours ago by x
3 days ago by x
11-10-07 by x
Haven't tested it fully 
function format_time($timestamp, $date_only = false)
{
global $pun_config, $lang_common, $pun_user;
if (!$date_only)
{
$over_a_week = date("d-m-y", $timestamp);
$diff = time() - $timestamp;
$rest = ($diff % 3600);
$restdays = ($diff % 86400);
$restweeks = ($diff % 604800);
$weeks = ($diff - $restweeks) / 604800;
$days = ($diff - $restdays) / 86400;
$hours = ($diff - $rest) / 3600;
$seconds = ($rest % 60);
$minutes = ($rest - $seconds) / 60;
if ($timestamp == '')
return $lang_common['Never'];
if($weeks > 1)
return $over_a_week;
elseif($days > 1)
return $date."$days days ago";
elseif($hours > 23)
return "Yesterday, $hours hours ago";
elseif($hours > 1)
return "Today, $date $hours hours ago";
elseif ($hours == 1)
return "Today, $date 1 hour, $minutes mins ago";
elseif ($minutes == 0)
return "Today, $date $seconds seconds ago";
elseif ($minutes == 1)
return "Today, $date 1 minute ago";
elseif ($seconds < 60)
return "Today, $date $minutes mins ago";
}
else{
$diff = ($pun_user['timezone'] - $pun_config['o_server_timezone']) * 3600;
$timestamp += $diff;
$now = time();
$date = date($pun_config['o_date_format'], $timestamp);
$today = date($pun_config['o_date_format'], $now+$diff);
$yesterday = date($pun_config['o_date_format'], $now+$diff-86400);
return $date;
}
}It works. Only I guess there is no more "weeks" just "days". Turning to date after some 14 days or so...
For me last modification is good. Hope other forum users would accept.
Thanks.
Have a look:
actually that is kewl. im going to apply this to punlancer.com... so i can see sorta when the last post was made..
thanks......
Q
But there is problem. Now I have posts "Today, 20 hours ago by ahmeds" but they surely was made 20 hours ago, but that was YESTERDAY...
http://www.forum.islammuslim.lv/
May be I just should replace new "functions.php" with old one, and at midnight 00:00 change to new one???
Can you change too this one fast, and see if it's wrong or not...
function format_time($timestamp, $date_only = false)
{
global $pun_config, $lang_common, $pun_user;
if ($timestamp == '')
return $lang_common['Never'];
$diff = ($pun_user['timezone'] - $pun_config['o_server_timezone']) * 3600;
$timestamp += $diff;
$now = time();
$date = date("d-m-y", $timestamp);
$today = date($pun_config['o_date_format'], $now+$diff);
$yesterday = date($pun_config['o_date_format'], $now+$diff-86400);
if ($date == $today)
$date = $lang_common['Today'];
else if ($date == $yesterday)
$date = $lang_common['Yesterday'];
if (!$date_only)
return $date.' '.date($pun_config['o_time_format'], $timestamp);
else
return $date;
}????
????

This looked like original and is (with minor differences (d-m-y))... And there is no "today" and "yesterday" at all...
The problem is that now mod counts last 24 hours as "today", but "24-48 hours ago" as yesterday. But this is not correct. Becouse if I post at 4.am, then 9 hours ago is not "today", but yesterday. (Yesterday at 7.pm...)
Any solutions?
Can't find any thing but try this...
function format_time($timestamp, $date_only = false)
{
global $pun_config, $lang_common, $pun_user;
if (!$date_only)
{
$over_a_week = date("d-m-y", $timestamp);
$diff = time() - $timestamp;
$rest = ($diff % 3600);
$restdays = ($diff % 86400);
$restweeks = ($diff % 604800);
$weeks = ($diff - $restweeks) / 604800;
$days = ($diff - $restdays) / 86400;
$hours = ($diff - $rest) / 3600;
$seconds = ($rest % 60);
$minutes = ($rest - $seconds) / 60;
if ($timestamp == '')
return $lang_common['Never'];
if($weeks > 1)
return $over_a_week;
elseif($days > 1)
return $date."$days days ago";
elseif($days == 1)
return "Yesterday, $hours hours ago";
elseif($hours > 1)
return "Today, $date $hours hours ago";
elseif ($hours == 1)
return "Today, $date 1 hour, $minutes mins ago";
elseif ($minutes == 0)
return "Today, $date $seconds seconds ago";
elseif ($minutes == 1)
return "Today, $date 1 minute ago";
elseif ($seconds < 60)
return "Today, $date $minutes mins ago";
}
else{
$diff = ($pun_user['timezone'] - $pun_config['o_server_timezone']) * 3600;
$timestamp += $diff;
$now = time();
$date = date($pun_config['o_date_format'], $timestamp);
$today = date($pun_config['o_date_format'], $now+$diff);
$yesterday = date($pun_config['o_date_format'], $now+$diff-86400);
return $date;
}
}I do not understood, - what is changes? I see nothing changed... The same problem that any last 24 hours is today...
elseif($hours > 23)
to
elseif($days == 1)
elseif($hours > 23)
to
elseif($days == 1)
Why did noone worked?
Don't know... works fine here. Haven't seen any thing wrong with today/yesterday.
I can't figure it out.
So...
Have anybody idea how to make that date display wiould work in 3 ways:
1) counting real time ar watching is it realy today or yesterday
2) after that hours, days
3) and after some 14 days switching to ddmmyy.
Now problem is that, that every last 24 hours is counted as today, even if post was posted yesterday 5 hours ago.
The same problem with yesterday, which is every 24-48 hours ago.
Anybody?
It shouldnt be difficult...
Original is:
Today 01:05:06 by Smartys
Yesterday 23:35:54 by AdsBB
2008-01-06 21:20:02 by sypie
My incomplete modification have:
Today, 22 mins ago - by ahmeds
Yesterday, 47 hours ago - by ahmeds
3 days ago - by Maimuna
12-11-07 - by ahmeds
So almost everything is correct except trigers for "today" and "yesterday" ir my forum modification. It is counting any 24 and 48 hours, but should be on the same trigers as on original (counting depends on 00:01 am).
I made this for my system:
function formattime($timestamp){
// Set some vars
$gmtunix = $timestamp - date('Z', $timestamp); // This returns an GMT unix timestamp
$diff = time() - $gmtunix;
$hour = 3600;
$day = (24 * $hour);
$week = (7 * $day);
$days = floor($diff / $day);
$weeks = floor($diff / $week);
$daysweeks = $days - ($weeks * 7);
// $time = date("d/m/Y H:i", $timestamp - date('Z', $time));
$date = date('d - m - Y', $timestamp - date('Z', $timestamp));
$time = date('H:i', $timestamp - date('Z', $timestamp));
if ($days == 0)
return 'Today at '.$time;
elseif ($days == 1)
return 'Yesterday at '.$time;
elseif ($days > 1 && $days < 7)
return $days.' days ago at '.$time;
elseif ($weeks == 1 && $daysweeks < 7)
return $weeks.' weeks and '.$daysweeks.' days ago at '.$time;
elseif ($weeks == 2 && $daysweeks < 7)
return $weeks.' weeks and '.$daysweeks.' days ago at '.$time;
elseif ($weeks >= 1 && $daysweeks <= 2)
return $weeks.' weeks ago at '.$time;
else
return $date;
}It converts the inputted timestamp to GMT time.
And it displays something like this:
- Today at 10:16
- Yesterday at 9:06
- 4 Days ago at 10:16
- 1 week and 2 days ago at 10:16
Maybe you can use it. I haven't tested it good, just made it today.
- Today at 10:16
- Yesterday at 9:06
- 4 Days ago at 10:16
- 1 week and 2 days ago at 10:16
===========
It works. Only when now I see it, I guess it would be littlebit better if it would be more "simplified" appereance:
- Today at 10:16
- Yesterday at 9:06
- 4 Days ago
- 9 Days ago
- 26 - 12 - 2007
This simplisness would help more easy to catch post dates.
why would it not show AM or PM as well?

Well, I beter like 21:51 than 10:51PM.
But there is some problem. Clock ir 2 hours less. Clock is London, but forum is in Latvia, +2h.
So just posted - 21:20, but should be 23:20. Is it some code problem, or my hostingserver changed something?
Huge thanks, btw. This problem was in my forum for several months.
The function I posted was for the cms I'm building. I haven't have settings for the time so the function outputs GMT time.
You should not replace the orginal time function of punbb with my function, it isn't made for punbb. I just tought you could use the code ^^.
