Description

This script services offer some methods to display dates in a pretty way, and supporting a lot of locales (contrary to $datetool). It is currently based on PrettyTime.

Examples

Here are some Velocity examples:

## Example 1:
$services.date.displayTimeAgo($datetool.date())
## Displays: moments from now ("à l'instant" in French)

## Example 2:
$services.date.displayTimeAgo($xwiki.jodatime.dateTime.minusMinutes(12).toDate())
## Displays: 12 minutes ago ("il y a 12 minutes" in French)

## Example3: You can also specify the locale you want
$services.date.displayTimeAgo($xwiki.jodatime.dateTime.minusHours(1).toDate(), "es")
## Displays "hace 1 hora"
