relative dates?

[eluser]Derek Allard[/eluser]
I almost always make a copy of the date helper in application/helpers so that I can whittle away the seconds and such from timespan. For example, in Bamboo I only care about how many years, months and days overdue something is, so I get rid of hours, minutes and seconds in the local date helper.

That is probably something that would be nice if it was configurable... like extra arguments passed into the helper function. Hm....
