WordPress Human Time Diff

[Alen]

All of the post types extend the class I mentioned above so I’m not sure you can “make a custom column and use the_time()”, unless you extend it and add functionality…

[Alen]

Just to clarify, you’re talking about this:

[gilgimech]

Sure you can. You can output any kind of content you want.

Theoretically you could make a column that outputs your latest tweets.

[gilgimech]

Yes, but with the latest version of WordPress.

AHhhhhhhh. Inside the admin area – thank you for the screenshot Alen, I was proper confused about the problem.

I’ll have a think and a play see if I can come up with a solution.

[gilgimech]

I got it.

Using the post_date_column_time filter.

add_filter( 'post_date_column_time', 'customize_date_column', 10, 4 );
function customize_date_column( $t_time, $post, $column_name, $mode ) {
    $t_time = the_time('F j, Y');
    return  $t_time;
}

I was researching for legit 30min to find that filer… Good find.

Also, you could shorten the code little, you don;t need to pass all those arguments…

so something like this would work:

add_filter( 'post_date_column_time', 'customize_date_column', 10, 1 );
function customize_date_column( $t_time ) {
    return $t_time = the_time('F j, Y');
}

[gilgimech]

Yeah, I’m still playing with it.

I might have to write up a blog post about this one.

[Alen]

You def should. WP needs better documentation.

[gilgimech]

No worries,
I’ve just always seen them called the admin tables. I thought that was the norm.
