$.fn.fixTime not working

Question

http://jsfiddle.net/AVLzH/14/

I'm trying to build my first jQuery extended function which will take the time format from YYYYMMDDHHMMSS and convert it to readable things like Just a moment ago or 2 hours ago my code worked perfectly before I made it into an extended function.

Sidebar: yes I know its better to use Server-side code to get the current time, this is just for example purposes

When I call the function its in a chain that grabs the datetime attribute from all <time> elements, and switches the text with whats returned and sets the old text to data-tooltip .

There's a lot of code so its probably best you check out the jsfiddle page:

http://jsfiddle.net/AVLzH/14/

jsLint is returning the following errors:

 Error: Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression. }); Expected '(end)' and instead saw '}'. })( jQuery ); Implied global: jQuery 3, console 19,20,22,23,40,50,75 

Yeah and basically I have no clue what to do about this.

Thanks for any help ahead of time!

PS - accidently put old code in there.. changed link

Thanks for all your help so far.. jsLint is no longer returning any errors, but its not executing correctly.

Answer 1

The part after returning is wrong

 return returning;
    };
});

})( jQuery );

, it should read:

  return returning;
    };
}( jQuery ));

Try the JSLint button at Jsfiddle to check your syntax.

(function( $ ) {

    jQuery.fn.fixTime = function(activityTime) {



            var currentTime = new Date(),
                month  = currentTime.getMonth() + 1,
                day    = currentTime.getDate(),
                year   = currentTime.getFullYear(),
                hour   = currentTime.getHours(),
                minute = currentTime.getMinutes(),
                second = currentTime.getSeconds(),
                activityTime = new Date(parseInt(this.attr('datetime'), 10)),
                masterTime = (year*10000000000) + (month*100000000) + (day*1000000) + (hour*10000) + (minute*100) + (second * 1),
