What if I want to rather state the number of minutes, second, months, weeks, days and years ago. Like 40 minutes ago, 2 years ago, etc? This is how the MODx Forum date is formatted.]]> ojchris Jun 13, 2013, 02:24 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/13979/changing-format-of-publishedon-date?page=3#dis-post-468947 <![CDATA[Re: Changing format of publishedon date]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/13979/changing-format-of-publishedon-date?page=3#dis-post-76901

Add the custom filter to the end of the chain.

Just tack on laughateSuffix after date: (assuming that the number you want to suffix is at the end).

I’m back grin

Just 4 months later, I finally got around to trying to use this - and immediately ran into a problem: I have no idea how to attach this:
[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%B %d, %Y`]]

to this:
:DateSuffix


Particularly when the number needing the suffix isn’t at the end. huh Sorry to have to ask for hand-holding all the way, but I am really new to the whole snippet modifiers thing.

is it also possible to use 
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'nl_NL')
within a filter?


[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%d %b %Y`]]

that would be handy for multilingual sites.

At least I know I’m not going crazy.

I’m guessing that it might then work when I upload the test site from my windows localhost to the linux server then.

Thanks for your tutorials and info pages - they are very helpful for non-programmer types like me.]]> robinqld Dec 18, 2010, 05:25 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/13979/changing-format-of-publishedon-date?page=2#dis-post-76896 <![CDATA[Re: Changing format of publishedon date]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/13979/changing-format-of-publishedon-date?page=2#dis-post-76895

I’ve run into one glitch - including the %e parameter results in a blank output. The %e is meant to remove the leading zero on the %d parameter. It’s not major, but puzzling.

eg. 
[[*publishedon:strtotime:date=`%e %B %Y`]]
produces no output but 
[[*publishedon:strtotime:date=`%d %B %Y`]]
does.

Could it be some error in my configuration or is this a bug?]]> robinqld Dec 17, 2010, 07:28 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/13979/changing-format-of-publishedon-date?page=2#dis-post-76894
