Description

Instead of the default Elgg behaviour of displaying the date of older posts as 'XX days ago' this plugin will show the posting date in 'date month year' format'. For entries younger than two weeks it will show the date in several step from 'just now' to 'last week' until 'about 2 weeks ago'., _(*2)

I've included the months' names in the language file to allow for internationalization. If you want the names of the months showing in your preferred language, you can easily create the appropriate languge file on your own., _(*3)
