jquery.timeago插件

Jeff，因为Stack Overflow广泛使用jQuery，所以我建议使用jQuery.timeago插件。

优点：

即使页面是在10分钟前打开的，也不要使用“1分钟前”的时间戳；timeago自动刷新。您可以充分利用web应用程序中的页面和/或片段缓存，因为时间戳不是在服务器上计算的。你可以像酷孩子一样使用微格式。

只需将其附加到DOM就绪的时间戳：

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery('abbr.timeago').timeago();
});

这将在标题中使用timeago类和ISO 8601时间戳转换所有缩写元素：

<abbr class="timeago" title="2008-07-17T09:24:17Z">July 17, 2008</abbr>

变成这样：

<abbr class="timeago" title="July 17, 2008">4 months ago</abbr>

结果：4个月前。随着时间的推移，时间戳将自动更新。

免责声明：我写了这个插件，所以我有偏见。

/** 
 * {@code date1} has to be earlier than {@code date2}.
 */
public static String relativize(Date date1, Date date2) {
    assert date2.getTime() >= date1.getTime();

    long duration = date2.getTime() - date1.getTime();
    long converted;

    if ((converted = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(duration)) > 0) {
        return String.format("%d %s ago", converted, converted == 1 ? "day" : "days");
    } else if ((converted = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(duration)) > 0) {
        return String.format("%d %s ago", converted, converted == 1 ? "hour" : "hours");
    } else if ((converted = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(duration)) > 0) {
        return String.format("%d %s ago", converted, converted == 1 ? "minute" : "minutes");
    } else if ((converted = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(duration)) > 0) {
        return String.format("%d %s ago", converted, converted == 1 ? "second" : "seconds");
    } else {
        return "just now";
    }
}

在PHP中，我是这样做的：

<?php
function timesince($original) {
    // array of time period chunks
    $chunks = array(
        array(60 * 60 * 24 * 365 , 'year'),
        array(60 * 60 * 24 * 30 , 'month'),
        array(60 * 60 * 24 * 7, 'week'),
        array(60 * 60 * 24 , 'day'),
        array(60 * 60 , 'hour'),
        array(60 , 'minute'),
    );

    $today = time(); /* Current unix time  */
    $since = $today - $original;

    if($since > 604800) {
    $print = date("M jS", $original);

    if($since > 31536000) {
        $print .= ", " . date("Y", $original);
    }

    return $print;
}

// $j saves performing the count function each time around the loop
for ($i = 0, $j = count($chunks); $i < $j; $i++) {

    $seconds = $chunks[$i][0];
    $name = $chunks[$i][1];

    // finding the biggest chunk (if the chunk fits, break)
    if (($count = floor($since / $seconds)) != 0) {
        break;
    }
}

$print = ($count == 1) ? '1 '.$name : "$count {$name}s";

return $print . " ago";

} ?>

我从比尔·盖茨的一个博客中得到了这个答案。我需要在我的浏览器历史记录中找到它，我会给你链接。

执行相同操作的Javascript代码（按要求）：

function posted(t) {
    var now = new Date();
    var diff = parseInt((now.getTime() - Date.parse(t)) / 1000);
    if (diff < 60) { return 'less than a minute ago'; }
    else if (diff < 120) { return 'about a minute ago'; }
    else if (diff < (2700)) { return (parseInt(diff / 60)).toString() + ' minutes ago'; }
    else if (diff < (5400)) { return 'about an hour ago'; }
    else if (diff < (86400)) { return 'about ' + (parseInt(diff / 3600)).toString() + ' hours ago'; }
    else if (diff < (172800)) { return '1 day ago'; } 
    else {return (parseInt(diff / 86400)).toString() + ' days ago'; }
}

基本上，你是以秒为单位工作的。

文斯回答的土耳其语本地化版本。

    const int SECOND = 1;
    const int MINUTE = 60 * SECOND;
    const int HOUR = 60 * MINUTE;
    const int DAY = 24 * HOUR;
    const int MONTH = 30 * DAY;

    var ts = new TimeSpan(DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks - yourDate.Ticks);
    double delta = Math.Abs(ts.TotalSeconds);

    if (delta < 1 * MINUTE)
        return ts.Seconds + " saniye önce";

    if (delta < 45 * MINUTE)
        return ts.Minutes + " dakika önce";

    if (delta < 24 * HOUR)
        return ts.Hours + " saat önce";

    if (delta < 48 * HOUR)
        return "dün";

    if (delta < 30 * DAY)
        return ts.Days + " gün önce";

    if (delta < 12 * MONTH)
    {
        int months = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor((double)ts.Days / 30));
        return months + " ay önce";
    }
    else
    {
        int years = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor((double)ts.Days / 365));
        return years + " yıl önce";
    }
