Two things:
1. Rather than passing just the entry.publishedDate string, as I noted
in my first post, the first argument must be a *date object* created
using the entry.publishedDate. You can do this by calling
generateRelativePubDate(new Date(entry.publishedDate),format) .
Alternatively, you could add a line at the top of the function like
this: if(typeof(theDate)=='string'){theDate=new Date(theDate)}
2. There were a number of errors in my code (that's what I get for not
actually testing before posting :) ), so here is a revised and
repaired version:
var strings={
"minutes_ago":' minutes ago',
"one_hour_ago":'1 hour ago',
"hours_ago":' hours ago'
};
var mos=[
'January',
'February',
'March',
'April',
'May',
'June',
'July',
'August',
'September',
'October',
'November',
'December'
];
function generateRelativePubDate(theDate,format){
if(typeof(theDate)=='string'){theDate=new Date(theDate)}
var now = (new Date).getTime(),
then = theDate.getTime();
if(now<then){return (2).toString()+strings['minutes_ago']}
var difference=now-then;
if(difference<3600000){
var n=Math.floor(1/60000);
return (n<=difference?2:n).toString()+strings['minutes_ago'];
}
if(difference<86400000){
var n=Math.floor(1/3600000);
if(n<=1){return strings['one_hour_ago']}
else{return v.toString()+strings['hours_ago']}
}
if(format&&format.match(/^ymd$/i)){return
[theDate
.getFullYear(),mos[theDate.getMonth()],theDate.getDate()].join(' ')}
else if(format&&format.match(/^dmy$/i)){return
[theDate
.getDate(),mos[theDate.getMonth()],theDate.getFullYear()].join(' ')}
else{return [mos[theDate.getMonth()],theDate.getDate()
+',',theDate.getFullYear()].join(' ')}
}
