Can I get actual date of update in addition to or instead of number of days?
Added by Wes Christensen almost 13 years ago
When I open an issue, each update starts with a delimiter line that reports how many days ago the update was posted
Updated by John Doe 8 days ago
Is there any way I can get something like
Updated by John Doe 8 days ago, 08/15/11 10:14 AM
or
Updated by John Doe on 08/15/11 10:14 AM, 8 days ago
Thanks

You may put the mouse over "8 days ago" and a balloon will pop up that contains the exact date and hour.

Yes, I did discover that. I meant to mention that in my post. That's certainly helpful, but I would really like to see it displayed. Apparently, there is no way to do that. Thanks.

I investigated for a while...
The code that displays the time stamp is in \path_to_redmine\app\views\issues\show.rhtml, lines 11-16. Methods 'authoring' and 'time_tag'. 'authoring' calls 'time_tag'. So, if the call of 'time_tag' is replaced by some other appropriate method this could achieved.

Just needed to do this myself, and tracked down where to change it.
I'm running v1.1.2.stable:
In /app/helpers/application_helper.rb, line 305
def time_tag(time)
- text = distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now, time)
+ text = "on #{format_time(time)}, #{distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now, time)}"
This will result in displaying your second choice, "Updated by John Doe on 8/15/2011 10:14AM, 8 days ago". Link and on hover balloon still present.

I tried to apply this change to a Bitnami Redmine appliance running
Redmine version 2.0.2.stable
Ruby version 1.8.7 (x86_64-linux)
Rails version 3.2.5
Environment production
Database adapter MySQL
The authoring and time_tag methods appeared to be the same just at a different line number in the file specified above. I'm pretty green when it comes to Ruby and Rails, but could someone offer some tips?
Thanks

That should be fine to edit, I don't think that part of the code has changed... worse that happens you'll roll back your changes. :)

I am still getting the lines as:
"Added by project manager about 22 hours ago. Updated about 21 hours ago." Each update within the issue also has the Updated about XX hours/minutes ago.
The method now looks like this (from application_helper.rb):
def time_tag(time)
text = "on #{format_time(time)}, #{distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now, time)}"
if Herve Harsterlink_to(text, {:controller => 'activities', :action => 'index', :id => Herve Harster, :from => User.current.time_to_date(time)}, :title => format_time(time))
else
content_tag('acronym', text, :title => format_time(time))
end
end
I also tried rebooting the server and then without the quotes. Any suggestions?

I'm interested by that fonctionality too!

I made this :
def time_tag(time)
text = distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now, time) + " (" + format_time(time) + ")"
if Herve Harster
link_to(text, {:controller => 'activities', :action => 'index', :id => Herve Harster, :from => User.current.time_to_date(time)}, :title => format_time(time))
else
content_tag('acronym', text, :title => format_time(time))
end
end

Sorry for digging up a very old ticket...
I'm curious about how one would implement this customization.
Would you have to modify the main "application_helper.js" file directly?
OR
Can you incorporate the code simply by adding it to file named "theme.js", and dropping it into the <theme>/javascripts/ folder?
(If the latter, and if starting from a blank theme.js file, would you only need the few lines of code pertaining to "time_tag(time)"? Or does the theme.js file need any other information in it?)
def time_tag(time) text = distance_of_time_in_words(Time.now, time) + " (" + format_time(time) + ")" if @project link_to(text, project_activity_path(@project, :from => User.current.time_to_date(time)), :title => format_time(time)) else content_tag('abbr', text, :title => format_time(time)) end end
(I'm running 4.0.3...the original code was taken from /app/helpers/application_helper.rb and modified using Fred Giusto's syntax for line 2.)
Thank you.

Thank you.
The code you mentioned is written in Ruby
not JavaScript
so you wont be lucky with putting it into a theme folder. I'd rather suggest you to override the method within a plugin.
You can find information about plugin development in the Developer_Guide.
Kind regards,
Bernhard

I goofed up here..I confused ruby and javascript, mashing them together as if they were the same.
(And the file is "application_helper.rb", not "application_helper.js".)
Thank you for the clarification, Bernhard. And for the tips on looking into addressing this with a plugin.
Regards,
Mike
