I'm using the PHX:ago modifier in a Revolution snippet (getFeed) to embed a Twitter feed in a site. The :ago modifier is returning 41 years 1 month ago for a tweet posted yesterday! Can anyone point me in the right direction? My call and template chunk are as follows:

    [[!getFeed?
      &url=`http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/46646566.rss`

      &tpl=`twitterFeedTpl`
      &limit=`1`
      ]]

And the Template is:

<div class="tweet">
    <p>[[+description]] <br />
    <a class="timestamp" href="[[+link]]">[[+date_timestamp:ago]]</a></p>
</div>

Thanks in advance.

I'm using Revolution, so it won't accept a new snippet called phx:anything. It returns invalid snippet name. Besides, I simply followed the instructions http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/getFeed.Adding+a+Twitter+Feed which seem to suggest that the :ago modifier is built into the core of Revo??

All of the phx functions are built in to Revo.

Thanks for the note and I had gathered that all PHX functions are inbuilt. However I still have the problem that the :ago function is incorrectly interpreting the Twitter time stamp and inserting 41 years ago! I'm slightly stuck as the client wants to display this info, I can't add a custom PHX modifier in the way that I used to , i.e. via a new snippet called PHX:xxxx, so I'm hunting for suggestions!

Anyone care to comment or point me in the right direction?

I had the same problem with a twitter feed.

Found that if I changed:

[[+date_timestamp:ago]]

To:

[[+pubdate:ago]]

and it worked!

Don't know if the docs need changing...?

Since there is no PHX, do not prefix your Snippets with PHX: — it will look for the modifier in all Snippets without the prefix in MODX Revolution.

Thanks everyone. It was that

[[+date_timestamp:ago]]

needs to be changed to

[[+pubdate:ago]]

@splittingred - if you read this... Could you please amend your instructions?

You can use createdon or your own custom TV as timestamp as well.
