Thread started date plugin?

[zlos]

I am seeking for a plugin, which would enable to show to my users when thread was started.

I tried to locate it in the functions, but it looks like manual code changes are required (this value simply does not exist in functions). This is something what I would like to avoid, as with each new version of vB I would have to redo this job once more.

Question: is there any plugin or coder skilled and willing to write a short & working plugin/product for that?

Where do you want to show this?

[zlos]

Where do you want to show this?

On the forumdisplay.php :)

[Marco van Herwaarden]

The info is available there in either $thread['dateline'] or $threadinfo['dateline']

This I know - but this is unformated Unix date format like "1133293626".
Is there any way of formatting dates directly in templates, which would be threadbits in this case? :)

Sorry, maybe I am asking stupid questions, but I need to know it.

[zlos]

Knock knock :)

put this in the threadbit_process hook if ($thread['dateline'])
{
$thread['threaddate'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $thread['dateline'], 1);
$thread['threadtime'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $thread['dateline']);
}

then in the threadbit template you can use <span class="smallfont">$thread[threaddate]</span>
<span class="time">$thread[threadtime]</span>

[zlos]

put this in the threadbit_process hook if ($thread['dateline'])
{
$thread['threaddate'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $thread['dateline'], 1);
$thread['threadtime'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $thread['dateline']);
}

then in the threadbit template you can use <span class="smallfont">$thread[threaddate]</span>
<span class="time">$thread[threadtime]</span>

Thanks - it works. :)

[zlos]

Works in 3.6.0 as well :)

[zlos]

Works in 3.6.2 also :D

[AndrusW]

Excuse my ignorance, but where would I find this threadbit_process hook?

Anyone know?

[zlos]

functions_forumdisplay.php :)

[zlos]

Works in 3.6.3

Could someone with a bit more knowledge than me please explain where this goes??

1. Find & edit the file includes/functions_forumdisplay.php;
2. Insert this:
if ($thread['dateline'])
{
$thread['threaddate'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $thread['dateline'], 1);
$thread['threadtime'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $thread['dateline']);
} at line 183

2. Go to template threadbit and insert there new code like this one:
<span class="smallfont">$thread[threaddate]</span>
<span class="time">$thread[threadtime]</span>

Reload forumdisplay.php of any forum and you will see thread creation date there.

Ciao

Will this work for vb 3.5.3 ?

[ragtek]

sorry i'm not realy sure if the threadtable is the same and i have no time to test it
but i think it will

[Narcootic]

Perfect, just what I was looking for. Thank you for the explenation Zlos and Sniper. Works on my 3.5.4 done manually with file edit.

[Smoothie]

I ended up removing the file edit from functions_forumdisplay.php and adding it as a plugin.

Tested on 3.6.4 as product - works perfectly :)

[zylstra]

No, don't modify any files.

ACP -> Plugin System -> Add New Plugin. Select threadbit_process from the hook location drop down menu, and put the code in the Plugin PHP Code box.

EDIT: Oops, this was in response to a question that was already answered.

[digger3d]

tried in vb4 with this template code:

<vb:if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$thread[threadid]" id="thread_gotonew_$thread[realthreadid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/firstnew.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_first_new_post]" border="0" /></a></vb:if>
$thread[movedprefix]
$thread[typeprefix]
$thread[moderatedprefix]
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]"<vb:if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"> style="font-weight:bold"</vb:if>>$thread[threadtitle]</a>
<vb:if condition="$thread['pagenav']">$stylevar[dirmark]<span class="smallfont" style="white-space:nowrap">(<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/multipage.gif" alt="$vbphrase[multipage_thread]" border="0" /> $thread[pagenav]<vb:if condition="$show[pagenavmore]"> ... <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]&amp;page=$thread[totalpages]$thread[highlight]">$vbphrase[last_page]</a></vb:if>)<span class="smallfont" style="float:right">Thema erstellt: $thread[threaddate]&nbsp;<span class="time">$thread[threadtime]</span></span>
</span></vb:if>
</div>
got what you see here:

[ragtek]

You can't use variables this way in vB4

it's now {vb:raw varname}

[digger3d]

For VB4 worked the following code:
<span class="smallfont" style="float:right">({vb:raw thread[threaddate]}&nbsp;<span class="time">{vb:raw thread[threadtime]}</span>)</span>
Thank you ragtek

[ragtek]
