#1498 Live updating time values
Closed: Won't Fix a year ago by wombelix. Opened 7 years ago by tibbs.

This is perhaps pointless featuritis, but I've done this in one of my projects and it eliminates one thing I've always found annoying when a page uses relative times. Basically, leave the formatting of the nice human-readable time values to the client. Send a time string, yes, but also include absolute data and javascript (including moment.js, usually) to format it into those nice readable values and keep those values relevant after the page has loaded.

If you're not going to keep the string used to display the time updated, then just display an absolute date and time instead. That's still going to be correct regardless of when the page has been refreshed.


The last update was 6 years ago, no further requests, updates or actionable tasks since then, I'm going to close this issue for now to reduce our backlog.
