Hey guys quick question, I am using a javascript function and it works except I can only make it say 0 seconds ago, when the time is under a minute. Can anyone quickly explain what I am doing wrong?
function handleDate( timestamp ) {
var n=new Date(), t, ago = " ";
if( timestamp ) {
t = Math.round( (n.getTime()/1000 - timestamp)/60 );
ago += handleSinceDateEndings( t, timestamp );
} else {
ago += "";
}
return ago;
}
function handleSinceDateEndings( t, original_timestamp ) {
var ago = " ", date;
if( t <= 1 ) {
ago += t + " seconds ago";
} else if( t<60) {
ago += t + " mins ago";
} else if( t>= 60 && t<= 120) {
ago += Math.floor( t / 60 ) + " hour ago"
} else if( t<1440 ) {
//console.log(t)
ago += Math.floor( t / 60 ) + " hours ago";
} else if( t< 2880) {
ago += "1 day ago";
} else if( t > 2880 && t < 4320 ) {
ago += "2 days ago";
} else {
date = new Date( parseInt( original_timestamp )*1000 )
ago += months[ date.getMonth() ] + " " + date.getDate();
}
return ago;
}
var months = ["January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December"];
