FacetWP Time Since Addon GPL v1.7.2

The FacetWP Time Since Addon is an extension for the FacetWP plugin that allows users to filter posts based on the date or time since a specified interval. This is particularly useful for websites that want to offer dynamic filtering based on time, such as showing content from the past day, week, month, or other time intervals. Here’s an overview of its key features:

1. Time-Based Filtering

• The Time Since facet enables filtering content based on how much time has passed since a specified date or time. This is ideal for websites that want to filter posts by how recent or how far back they are.
• For example, you can filter posts to show content from the past day, past 7 days, past year, or even tomorrow.

2. Data Source Options

• The facet can be configured to filter by different date fields, including:
  • Post Date: The original publication date of a post.
  • Post Modified: The date when a post was last modified.
  • Custom Field: You can also filter by a custom field containing a date in the YYYY-MM-DD format.

This flexibility allows you to filter content based on various date-related attributes.

3. Customizable Choices

• The choices for filtering are fully customizable, allowing you to define the specific time intervals that users can filter by. Each choice is displayed as a label, with the corresponding time interval formatter.
• Example choices could include:
  • Past Day | -1 day
  • Past 7 Days | -7 days
  • Past 30 Days | -30 days
  • Past Year | -1 year
  • Next 7 Days | +7 days
  • Today | today
  • Tomorrow | tomorrow
  • Yesterday | yesterday

These choices provide a flexible way to let users filter content based on time periods that make sense for your site.

4. User-Friendly Filtering

• Users can easily filter content based on the time intervals they are interested in, whether they want to see recent content, upcoming events, or historical posts.

5. GPL License

• Like other FacetWP addons, the Time Since Addon is available under the GPL (General Public License), which allows for free use, modification, and distribution.

The FacetWP Time Since Addon is a powerful tool for filtering posts based on time intervals. It allows users to filter content by how much time has passed since a specified date, such as the past day, past week, past month, or even tomorrow. It works with Post Date, Post Modified, or custom date fields, and the time intervals are fully customizable. This addon is ideal for websites that need to offer dynamic, time-based filtering, such as news sites, event calendars, or blogs.
