AutoDate

[Incendium]

AutoDate 1.1.2
This plugin allows you to prefix a date in the title of a new thread. The date prefix, separator character, and forums with prefixing are all customizeable on the vBulletin Options page.

It should be noted that this will only work on new threads and not existing threads.

Changes from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2
- Added option to specify a specific timezone
- Added version checking

Changes from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1
- Fixed a bug in which prefixes were being repeated when hitting preview (when either all forums were prefixed or one specific forum)

Changes from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0
- Prefixed forums are now separated by spaces instead of commas
- Added option to prefix all forums
- Added preset prefix options
- Added master on-off switch

Can you show a screenshot?

yeah, please add a screenshot.

listening nice.

[Incendium]

Added screenshots. =P

[BuRNZau]

Nice plugin. :)

Is there anyway you can have it so the user must enter the date in a set layout like this?

Sat 5th Aug - Thread title
TBC - Thread title

I have an meets forum for when we have dinners pub nights etc. I would like it so that a member must enter a date or TBC at the start of the thread title.

I like, cool mod :)

[Dennis B]

Instead of prefixing the thread name, can the start date just be shown right beneath it, before the thread starter name?

[COBRAws]

can we sort threads by AutoDate Prefixes?

[teedizz]

Very nice mod....This is just what i needed. Is there anyway, to make the date prefix Bold & in Red?

[Iceazuk]

Hey, I notice a bug in the script. If you hit preview it adds the date over and over for every time you hit preview. I found a simple fix that probably isn't the best way to fix it.

Find
if ((!is_array($dateadd['forums'])) OR (in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $dateadd['forums']) AND !empty($_POST['subject'])))

and Replace It With
if ((!is_array($dateadd['forums'])) OR (in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $dateadd['forums']) AND !empty($_POST['subject']))AND !$_POST['preview'])

[Prince]

I installed it and it is not working?

I agree with above, it would be nice to just have the date the thread was started below the thread title.

thank you

I believe this hack uses almost the same procedures as the Event Forums hack by Hellcat, both have the same bug.

If so then by adding the !$_POST['preview'] part to the right area it will check if your hitting the preview button or the submit button. Its so simple its probably easy to overlook.

nice.. thanks

thank you

The problem is with the way vBulletin stores the data before it makes a post. The only way to change the data is to directly edit the submitted data before the vbulletin gpc parser gets to it. Once it's parsed, it's unchangeable for obvious security reasons.

[iran.gs]

Installed now this is great cuz i help when someone like me has a lot of threads and most of them after awhile are not really worth looking at the date will help the members to not waste time on those older than what ever amount of months past .... kool thanks

[iran.gs]

installed and works perfect at first i must say in my forum news section was taking too much of space till today i learned u can change the DATE showing system so now i am very happy :D

[MeMySelfNi]

*installed*

[OndaReal]

I noticied something, i run a UK based bored and the date stays set on EST timezone, anyway i can change it so the date is set on GMT, i mean its 12:47am on January 20 but if i make a thread on my bored it still says January 19. It wont change for another 5 hours.

Anyways i can edit that so its GMT and before anyone asks, yes my boards set on GMT timezone.

[davis31b]

i defiantly agree with some of the others and wish that it could somehow be posted under the thread link itself.

[Incendium]

If it's showing up as EST, my best guess is that your server is running on EST time. I'll look into allowing users to specify a timezone.

As for the thread link, I don't have the free time to do that right now but that is a possibility in the future.

[iGlobe.Com.Cn]

Thanks a lot

[xsamet]

Thanx....

[scan-pa]

Thanks - installed

How about also doing this mod for all posts in the thread? It can add it to the subject line?

thanks again.

[scan-pa]

Anyway to move the timestamp to the end of the Thread title?

[Incendium]

Find this code in the newthread_start plugin
$_POST['subject'] = "$dateadd[dateformat]$dateadd[separator]$_POST[subject]";
and change it to
$_POST['subject'] = "$_POST[subject]$dateadd[separator]$dateadd[dateformat]";

I'll add that to the next version when I get the time.

But because the file for 3.5 is not downloadable anymore i can't do much.:)

[ibuddy]

love this mod.....can you update another version to where you can possible have ALL forum ids to autodate new topics?

[Incendium]

If you leave the forum id field blank, it will prefix all of them.

[ibuddy]

anyway to detect if a user already has it in their title so it doesnt duplicate

[scan-pa]

after the move to vB 3.7.0 GOLD, I get the following when atempting to start new threads in forums that are set to be autodated and time stamped.

Fatal error: Cannot run code from this file in conjunction with non encoded files in /home/********/public_html/forum/includes/searchwords.php on line 653

Can we please get an update to this hack for 3.7.0

Thanks

[MeMySelfNi]

its working fine on my 3.7

[The Notorious]

Is there a way to do this with vbulletin's "Thread Prefixes"?
