Another cool feature would be something along the following:
There are X new posts and X new comments since your last visit.
Wonder how this might be integrated.
Thanks,

Hey Lee,
If you were using the above code, make sure to notice a correct I just made. In the condition for the minutes, I forgot to make it ".=" The first version I posted just had "=" which would only show minutes and not days or hours.

Here is the updated code with the conditionals to handle the plurals that I was talking about:
<?php
$table = $modx->getFullTableName("site_content");
$results = $modx->db->select("createdon", $table, "", "createdon DESC", "1");
$results = $modx->db->getRow($results);
$createdon = $results['createdon'];
$now = time();
$diff = $now - $createdon;
$days = floor($diff/86400);
$hours = floor($diff/3600);
$minutes = floor($diff/60);
if ($days > 0)
{
$output = $days . ' days ';
if ($days == 1) $output = $days . ' day ';
$diff = $diff - ($days * 86400);
$hours = floor($diff/3600);
}
if ($hours > 0)
{
$output .= $hours . ' hours ';
if ($hours == 1) $output .= $hours . ' hour ';
$diff = $diff - ($hours * 3600);
$minutes = floor($diff/60);
}
if ($minutes >0)
{
$output .= $minutes . ' minutes';
if ($minutes == 1) $output .= $minutes . ' minute';
}
return $output;
?>

Silly error if there are 0 hours :-D
<?php
$table = $modx->getFullTableName("site_content");

{
$output = $days . ' days ';
if ($days == 1) $output = $days . ' day ';
$diff = $diff - ($days * 86400);
$hours = floor($diff/3600);
}
if ($hours > 0)
{
$output .= $hours . ' hours ';
if ($hours == 1) $output .= $hours . ' hour ';

Sure, I didn’t think there would be any real demand for this. If I am going to wrap it up and put it in the repository. I guess I should take some feature requests, if any have them.

That should work then. If some people could test this for me. I tried to test everything I could. If there aren’t any bugs, then I will post this to the repository.
