Topic: How do I get (3 minutes ago) for "Today"

[mashreza]

WordPress 2.5
WordPress Default Theme 1.6
WP-RelativeDate 1.3

I'm currenlty using

Code: [Select]

relative_post_the_date('j F, l, Y');

It's showing "4 June, Wednesday, 2008 (2 days ago)" which is beatuifull. But for the posts on each day it only shows "Today".

How do I get it to say "Today (4 minutes ago)" ??

Thanks for your help in advance.

Try:

Code: [Select]

echo relative_post_the_date('j F, l, Y').' ('.relative_post_time('', 1).')';

Thanks. That worked great. the only problem is if it's not "Today" it will show the "( )". Example: "Yesterday ()".

any suggestions on specifying the "()" only for today?

I came up with a workaround... it's just not az pretty as I want it... but it works...

I call the function with $display variable set to false in order to get an output from the function and then test the output, if it's == "Today", then output the suggested code GaMerZ, else, just print the output...

Code: [Select]

$postDate = relative_post_the_date('F j, Y','','','',false);

echo $postDate == "Today" ? $postDate . ' ('.relative_post_time('', 1).')' : $postDate;


it would be great if anyone could suggest a cleaner code for this purpose.

Thanks

I think that is the shortest code. If I were to right it, I will use the usual if statement rather than the short if.
