Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.Tstoeckler's comment (#8) in #1403508: show "just now" instead of "1 second ago" after posting nodes and comments made me realize that the variable naming in format_interval() could be improved slightly:
/**
* Formats a time interval with the requested granularity.
*
* @param $timestamp
* The length of the interval in seconds.
* [...]
*/
$timestamp is somewhat misleading here, since that should be differences of timestamps instead being an actual timestamp.

tstoecklerTestbot is broken currently. When it is back up, this is RTBC.
Since this is only renaming an internal variable it constitutes a doc change (i.e. no API change), and hence can be backported all the way to D6 if I'm not mistaken.

Dries CreditAttribution: Dries commentedNice correction. Interval is the proper word. I think the 'just now' idea is pretty neat too.
Anyway, committed this patch to 8.x and 7.x. Moving it to 6.x in case Gabor wants to consider it.

Gábor HojtsyLooks like a good improvement, but does not apply to Drupal 6.

scorchio CreditAttribution: scorchio commentedThanks everyone - it feels great to do something for Drupal, even if it's just a tiny improvement like this :) Here's the one against 6.x.
