Usages :

Datetime / Date :

Default type is datetime/date so you have the choice to :

• put Datetime/Date value directly in your element
• add date value on "data-lta-value" attribute
• add date value on "data-lta-value" attribute and already step-up the right message in your element

	<!-- With Datetime -->     <div class="liveTime">2016-06-20 14:44:00</div>     <div class="liveTime" data-lta-value="2016-06-20 14:44:00"></div>     <div class="liveTime" data-lta-value="2016-06-20 14:44:00">2 months ago</div>          <!-- With Date -->     <div class="liveTime">2016-06-20</div>     <div class="liveTime" data-lta-value="2016-06-20"></div>     <div class="liveTime" data-lta-value="2016-06-20">2 months ago</div>

Timestamp :

To use timestamp you need to specify the date's type with the "data-lta-type" attribute. Then you have same possibilies as datetime/date dates :

• put timestamp value directly in your element
• add timestamp value on "data-lta-value" attribute
• add timestamp value on "data-lta-value" attribute and already step-up the right message in your element

	<!-- With timestamp -->     <div class="liveTime" data-lta-type="timestamp"> 1466431440 </div>     <div class="liveTime" data-lta-type="timestamp" data-lta-value="1466431440"></div>     <div class="liveTime" data-lta-type="timestamp" data-lta-value="1466431440">2 months ago</div>

Options :

You can customize / translate the result:

(the % symbol represents the number of minutes, hours, days ... displayed)

// This is the default translate array var default_options = {     translate: {         'year': '% year ago',         'years': '% years ago',         'month':'% month ago',         'months':'% months ago',         'day': '% day ago',         'days': '% days ago',         'hour': '% hour ago',         'hours': '% hours ago',         'minute': '% minute ago',         'minutes': '% minutes ago',         'seconds': 'few seconds ago',         'error': 'unknow time',     } }; $('.liveTime').liveTimeAgo(default_options);
