some kind of glitch has occurred on my site with the times of river events.. i had this plugin installed throughout, though i recall a similar glitch occurred years ago with elgg 1.7... i'm not sure if i had an earlier version of this plugin installed then or not.
essentially, the river items have incorrect times/dates on them, so items from one week ago appear as 'now' and items from 'just now' appear from 1 week ago.. not necessarily in a repeating/constant pattern.
i'm wondering if anyone has seen this with or without this friendly time plugin? any idea on what to do? thanks
@ura soul: sorry, I have no idea how this could happen. The friendly time output is determined via an if-clause (time difference between current time and river item timestamp). Now it seems rather unlikely to me that this if-clause fails only on certrain items - especially in mixing up "now" and anything before that as this is the first statement to be checked in the if-clause at all.
What does show as friendly time output when you disable this plugin? At what position is the friendly_time plugin ordered in your plugin list? Putting it at the bottom should give some indication if another plugin interferes. Have you made any changes to the plugin code / the translation or are you using additional languages?
I have a "clock's problem" too, but your other plugin, Last Login, as it shows an incredibly wrong last login's date, here is a copy and paste from a member i just created:
@Elggor: I've released version 1.8.4 of the Lastlogin plugin that fixes the issue of last login time of users who never had logged in before. Thanks for reporting this issue.

+ A perfect compromise between useful Elgg 'Friendly Time' and having dates as "49 days ago". Thanks.
ok, i've disabled friendly time and will see what ocurrs with new items on the site.
i don't think the cause is this plugin either.. i'll let you know if i find any info that might be relevant to this plugin.
I have a "clock's problem" too, but your other plugin, Last Login, as it shows an incredibly wrong last login's date, here is a copy and paste from a member i just created:
Last login: 1970/1/1
Join date: 2013/3/17
That means there is no last login, the timestamp == 0 which equates to 1970/1/1
Ideally there should be a check for that.
@Elggor: I've released version 1.8.4 of the Lastlogin plugin that fixes the issue of last login time of users who never had logged in before. Thanks for reporting this issue.
Thanks!
