Hi

4 Templates to edit
1 Template to add

All instructions in zip below.

take look

what's going on??

[Reeve of shinra]

Cool idea.

Is the composing time stored in the database?
I would be interested in modifying the script to give the total composing time for all posts.

[Admin]

Just a note Stasik, instead of doing this in showthread.php:
$time=time();
you can simply use $ourtimenow in the templates.
It's generated automatically in functions.php so you can use that.
Just don't mess with that variable. :)

[The Realist]

Installed this hack (2.2.0) and after posting a message its saying:

Post composed in 0 minutes and 0 seconds.

Its not working?

:(

[Stasik]

please look in html-code of your new message page and search for name="t" post line here

[The Realist]

Working now!

I think :)

[Stasik]

ok

[|DarkManX|]

not working for me....followed everything and still not working

it says

Post composed in 0 minutes and 0 seconds.

what do you mean by this??

please look in html-code of your new message page and search for name="t" post line here

[squawell]

i still have same problem~~~

i reinstall mysqlupdate.php and appear database error~~

why??shouldn't i reinnstall this file again~~

[The Realist]

Yes it would come back with an error because you are trying to overwrite a database that is already there.

The original Instructions file (First Post) has been updated with new Instructions and does work, give this a go.

:D

[SgtSling]

IS this intensive on the server?

[The Realist]

No.......... its just since I Installed it my Whos online is extreamly slow on loading??


Why I dont know?

;)

[Stasik]

it has to work since i have updated installation...... you dont need to run updatemsql 2 or more times

[TheComputerGuy]

Fixed it, confliction with PPN last post hack :)

[Stasik]

post a good rating plz

[LDT]

At the moment it also displays 0 minutes 0 seconds for me, no matter if I create a new thread or new reply or edit a post. :(

[Stasik]

can i see it?

[LDT]

Got it working now... I had to add

$xtime=time()-$t;

before the query (in editpost.php)... And I changed the query to

$DB_site->query("UPDATE post SET title='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."',pagetext='".addslashes($message)."',allowsmilie='$allowsmilie',showsignature='$signa ture',iconid='$iconid',time=time+'$xtime'$editedby sql$attachmentsql WHERE postid='$postid'");


Seems to work now, let me know if that's not how it's supposed to be. :) Thanks for the hack (and the idea) :)

[Stasik]

dont think the query changes will bring you something

[LDT]

Well, it does work now and before it didn't. ;)
Also now it adds the edit time to the creation time instead of replacing it.

[Stasik]

cool idea... i meant it has to update it :)

i`ll fix my scrip with yours addon ok?

[LDT]

Sure thing, just found this to be logical. :)
Another possibility would be to have 2 comments in case a post is edited... One with the initial posting time and another one with the edit time, but then again,... ;)

[|DarkManX|]

this is still not working for me......

has the install file been updated??

[Stasik]

Can you give me a url of your board?

Yes, installer has been fixed

[|DarkManX|]

<a href="http://www.partylounge.net/tof/index.php?s=&styleid=11" target="_blank">http://www.partylounge.net/tof/index.php?s=&styleid=11</a>

there you go....

[Stasik]

You have to reinstall hack...... i mean the places with '$xtime' take a new installer plz

[|DarkManX|]

just redid the installer, and still no go......

[Stasik]

are you sure you have '$xtime=time()-$t;' in newthread, newreply and editthread?

[|DarkManX|]

well if you updated the installer then i should, is that the php or the templates do you mean??

[SgtSling]

i am thinking about installing this but 1 question
||
how many quiries does this add and will it slow my server?

[Stasik]

You should pull all file back to its content before installing an reinstall

1) added query while posting a thread
2) added query while posting a post
3) added query while editing a post

thats all..... you will not see the difference

did that......oh well.......thanks anyways

[|DarkManX|]

ok, i really want to get this to work....i don't understand what could be wrong.....

[|DarkManX|]

ok, i finally got it after some messing around.....

[Stasik]

what was wrong?

[SgtSling]

how can I add this so it only shows it in the 1st post?

I love this hack but I have added the quick reply box and it is messing with the time.
Thanks
Sarge

[Stasik]

maybe u could use just full thread time in showthread temmplate?

[SgtSling]

does anyone know?

[Stasik]

i`m too laizy to look @ it now :) have already forgotten how my hack is working :)

[Vivi Ornitier]

Okay there's a major problem with this hack, if ur using Firefly's Quick Reply Box, and if u put a message in there, it'll give u like Post composed in 16900161 minutes and 39 seconds. But if ur just using a normal reply box, then everything is okay . .. so somebody think up a way of integrating it with Firefly's hack! thx

btw: this hack is wonderful! :D

[SgtSling]

I finally made this work with Firefly's Quick Reply Box...

in showthread_replybox look for
<input type="hidden" name="rating" value="0">

put this after it..

<input type="hidden" name="t" value="$ourtimenow">

[SgtSling]

that should do it.. it worked for my forums
