Mismatch in view_friendly_time and the post_time in API result

I am working on a customization wherein we are parsing the time to be displayed in a friendly manner, i.e. 2h ago, 3w ago etc. I know there is already a way of doing it by using ?restapi.response_sty...

    emmm, VarunLuthra ,

     

    may you try

     

    friendly_dates.format.today= '%h%h ago'

Hi VarunLuthra ,

 

you need not to read any freemarker code, but just update the text format string, for example

 

friendly_dates.format.under_day = %h% 'hours ago'

 

I hope that it helps

HaidongG - Could you please elaborate a bit more, where do I need to make this change?

    Hi VarunLuthra ,

     

    sure. go to Studio -> Text Editor -> Search for "hours ago", and reaplce/update the string 

     

    friendly_dates.format.under_day = %h% 'hours ago'

     

    to 

     

    friendly_dates.format.under_day = %h% 'h ago'

      HaidongG - Thanks, this is a good workaround, but the problem with this is, using friendly_dates.format.under_day    = %h% 'h ago' the Output is 14 h ago, but i want it 14h ago, i.e. without a space b/w 14 and h,

       

      If I use, friendly_dates.format.under_day  = %h%'h ago' 

       

      Output - 14'h ago

       

      If I use, friendly_dates.format.under_day  = %h% h ago

       

      It doesn't print anything, any suggestions how can I encounter this?
