Abbr Timestamps

[Bennett 🚀]

I'm trying to high-jack these abbrs to show live information as well for a plugin of sorts for my forum. What kind of timestamps are used? I've tried UNIX epoch time, but the timestamps you're using are gigantic compared to those.

So, in short, what would I need to do emulate the timestamps?

It's just JavaScript's version of the epoch, e.g., with milliseconds. The accepted answer here has some good info: stackoverflow.com/questions/221294/how-do-you-get-a-timestamp-in-javascript.

Sweet. Thank you!

Okay, so I converted my unix timestamp to microtime(), but for whatever reason, that still isn't working for the <abbr>. What is necessary for it to parse correctly? Or morseo, to make it do relative amounts of time instead of arbitrary dates.

Without seeing an example I can't tell for sure, but make sure you format them in the same way as they're formatted here on suppport, e.g.,

<abbr data-timestamp="1380510223000" class="time"></abbr>
Our JS should pick that up automatically.

Oh man, I just hadn't saved and updated my script yet.. -facepalm-
It's working fine now.

Thanks Tim Camara.

No problem.
