I have used getTimeago method in my CI model to display time in minutes ago, hours ago and days ago. For example -
In the model:
$rss[$i]->createdTime = get_timeago(strtotime($rss[$i]->creation_time));
And in the view:
<h5>{{cd.createdTime}}</h5>
However, the result is always 6 hours earlier than I expect. What am I missing?

I am at a loss, i looked around the internet and stackoverflow but every so called solution is giving either errors or plainly don't work.
I have the following setup.
4 fields (setup in date dd-mm-yyyy, hour hh:mm:ss) seconds are not important.
start date : 7-1-2020
start hour : 23:30:00
end date : 8-1-2020
end hour : 03:50:00
What i want to happen is to calculate the diffrence in 'hours, minutes' between the end and the start date, hour. But when I calculate and change the end date to lets say 09-01-2020 it does not count the extra 24h at all.
Use Text format:
=text(A3-A1+A4-A2,"[H]:MM")
You need to format the time difference as a duration using the custom format
[h]:mm
for hours and minutes
or
[h]
for whole hours.
There are some good notes on how it works in Excel here and as far as I can tell from testing it Google Sheets is the same.
Alternatively, if I read your question as wanting to drop the minutes and seconds from the times before doing the calculation, you could use
=(B3-B1)*24+hour(B4)-hour(B2)
and just format the result as a normal number.
After alot of fiddeling and this post i came to the conclusion that the main issue was not laying within the mathematical but within the format of the cell.
By default all time values in sheets are 24h max.
So the basic formula =start - end
The time format needed should be
more date time format
elapsed hours : elapsed minutes
apply
Now you should see the correct elapsed hours and minutes
my issue is that I want to be able to get two time stamps and compare if the second (later taken) one is less than 59 minutes away from the first one.
Following this thread Compare two dates with JavaScript
the date object may do the job.
but first thing i am not happy with is that it takes the time from my system.
is it possible to get the time from some public server or something?
cause there always is a chance that the system clock gets manipulated within the time stamps, so that would be too unreliable.
some outside source would be great.
then i am not too sure how to get the difference between 2 times (using 2 date objects).
many issue that may pop up:
time being something like 3:59 and 6:12
so just comparing minutes would give the wrong idea.
so we consider hours too.
biut there the issue with the modulo 24.
day 3 23:59 and day 4 0:33 wouldnt be viewed proper either.
so including days too.
then the modulo 30 thing, even though that on top changes month for month.
so month and year to be included as well.
so we would need the whole date, everything from current year to second (because second would be nice too, for precision)
and comparing them would require tons of if clauses for year, month, etc.
do the date objects have some predfeined date comparision function that actually keeps all these things in mind (havent even mentioned leap years yet, have I)?
time would be very important cause exactly at the 59 minutes mark (+-max 5 seconds wouldnt matter but getting rmeitely close to 60 is forbidden)
a certain function would have to be used that without fail closes a website.
script opens website at mark 0 min, does some stuff rinse and repeat style and closes page at 59 min mark.
checking the time like every few seconds would be smart.
Any good ideas how to implement such a time comparision that doesnt take too more computer power yet is efficient as in new month starting and stuff doesnt mess it up?
You can compare the two Date times, but when creating a date time there is a parameter of DateTime(value) which you can use.
You can use this API to get the current UTC time which returns a example JSON array like this:
{
"$id":"1",
"currentDateTime":"2019-11-09T21:12Z",
"utcOffset":"00:00:00",
"isDayLightSavingsTime":false,
"dayOfTheWeek":"Saturday",
"timeZoneName":"UTC",
"currentFileTime":132178075626292927,
"ordinalDate":"2019-313",
"serviceResponse":null
}
So you can use either the currentFileTime or the currentDateTime return from that API to construct your date object.
Example:
const date1 = new Date('2019-11-09T21:12Z') // time when I started writing this answer
const date2 = new Date('2019-11-09T21:16Z') // time when I finished writing this answer
const diff = new Date(date2-date1)
console.log(diff.toTimeString()) // time it took me to write this
Please keep in mind that due to network speeds, the time API will be a little bit off (by a few milliseconds)
I want to get the current hour of the week in which day starts from Sunday.
Consider current time is
Time.now
=> 2014-10-29 12:09:23PM +0530
The result should be : 84
Explanation:
Sunday - 24 hours
Monday - 24 hours
Tuesday - 24hours
Wednesday - 12 hours
Total: 84
How can get the user hour of the week. Is there any method available in Ruby ? Or how to do it without Ruby method.
You can get the day of the week and hour of the day using Time#wday and Time#hour.
Time.now.wday
#=> 3
Time.now.hour
#=> 14
The rest is basic mathematics.
Even though I upvoted Yu Hao, I must say it's not a good approach if you want to pay attention to the concerns Jon Skeet raised. To that end, here's another approach:
(Time.now - (Date.today - Date.today.wday).to_time) / 3600
Date.today is, well, today. If you subtract the number of days since the week started, you get Sunday. Convert it to Time and it's the midnight when Sunday began. Subtraction gives you number of seconds between then and now. Divide by 3600 (and optionally round) to get number of hours. The DST details should be transparently handled by Time#-.
EDIT: Timezones... Run this before:
ENV['TZ']='EST5EDT'
(be sure to reset it back to what it used to be afterwards, in case anyone else needs to know time and didn't count on you switching timezones.) You can also use "America/New_York" instead. See tz list for details.
I was wanting to write a program in C that I can simply type in the hours that I worked for each day of the week, including time on break, that will take my input and return the total number of hours I have worked for that week. It's dumb, I know, but I am not sure how to do the math for this regarding time on the clock.
Thank you
At beginning of work: get the current date, make it into seconds.
At end of work: get the current date, make it into seconds.
So working seconds = end seconds - beginning seconds
Then you'll just have to make those into hours.
Well, i'm beginner in MS Project (specifically in MS Project 2007) and a i got the following problem:
1 - I have all tasks maped in "Grantt Charts".
2 - My workday is 14 hours per week (monday to monday, without holidays).
3 - The work schedule is from 21:00PM to 23:00PM, so calculating this we have:
(2h per day) X (7 days in a week) = 14h per week.
The big problem is: When i put 7 days in column durating (in any task) the work shows 14h (this is correct) but the start date and end date just count 1, my ideia is that for MS PROJECT 1 day have 8h of work (and not 2h as i wanna), so 14h is like 1,75 days, but should be exact 7 days because my project is like that, only 2h per day and not 8h per day as MS PROJECT think.
There is an independant setting in MS-Project that tells the system how many hours you consider there to be in a working day. In your case it should be 2, not the default of 7.
Go to "Change Working Time" on the Tools menu. Click the "Options" button. Change the field entitled "Hours per day" to 2.
