how is the best way to calculate and present to the user how much time is past from current day to the time in the field ?
so it present me something like :

2 days ago ..
2 weeks ago ...

Answer 1

you can use the DateDiff(CurrentTime, DatabaseTimeField) function. It will return you the difference between two dates in Days. Then you can use that those days to present the difference to users.

e.g.

if(days <= 6)
 displays days
else
 display days%7 weeks
