Re: [twitter-dev] Does anyone has Javascript function to convert date into twitter time format

I used this in a Firefox Twitter sidebar addon...


    getTimestamp : function(time)
    {
        //--------------------------------------------------------------
        // http://af-design.com/blog/2009/02/10/twitter-like-timestamps/
        //--------------------------------------------------------------
        var system_date = new Date(time);
        var user_date = new Date();
        var diff = Math.floor((user_date - system_date) / 1000);
        if (diff <= 1) return "just now";
        if (diff < 20) return diff + " seconds ago";
        if (diff < 40) return "half a minute ago";
        if (diff < 60) return "less than a minute ago";
        if (diff <= 90) return "one minute ago";
        if (diff <= 3540) return Math.round(diff / 60) + " minutes ago";
        if (diff <= 5400) return "1 hour ago";
        if (diff <= 86400) return Math.round(diff / 3600) + " hours ago";
        if (diff <= 129600) return "1 day ago";
        if (diff < 604800) return Math.round(diff / 86400) + " days ago";
        if (diff <= 777600) return "1 week ago";
        return "on " + time;
    },


Hope it helps

Hi,

 

We would like to display twitter reasults on our search engine with the time in twiiter format like seconds ago, minutes ago etc.

 

I know that a lot of you have worked on Twitter API. Does anyone has a function that can take created_at string from twitter search feed and convert into into seconds, minutes or days using Javascript?

 

If you have done it, please send me the code. I will appreciate your help and looking forward to hear from developers team.

 

 

Thanks
