Post date in Email to moderator

[tkeil69575]

Hi
Id like the date and time of a new posting to be displayed in the email thats sent to the admin or moderator when a new posting is made.

What Variables to I need to use?

Ok, in both newthread.php and newreply.php, find this code:
// send email to moderators
if ($enableemail) {
and right below it, add this:
$emailposttime=vbdate($timeformat,time());
$emailpostdate=vbdate($dateformat,time());
Now you can use $emailposttime (to show the time) and $emailpostdate (to show the date) in the email_moderator template.

Hi Chen,

me again ;) I thought I'd try and figure this one out for myself, but I'm not getting anywhere. I'd like to have the variable time and date also for the notify_email template and I figured out that I must make changes to the functions.php ? right?

But I'm not sure what and where to include it?
Maybe you could help me again?

regards
Tina

Sure. :)

In functions.php, find this:
if (!$enableemail) {
return;
}
and right below it add this:
$emailposttime=vbdate($timeformat,time());
$emailpostdate=vbdate($dateformat,time());
Now you can use $emailposttime (to show the time) and $emailpostdate (to show the date) in the email_notify template.

Hi Chen,
Yes, I tried that already and unfortunately it didn't work. Here's how my code looks:


// ############## Send out email notification ############
function sendnotification ($threadid, $userid, $postid) {
// $threadid = threadid to send from;
// $userid = userid of who made the post
// $postid = only sent if post is moderated --
used to get username correctly

global $DB_site, $enableemail, $message, $bbtitle,
$webmasteremail, $bburl, $postusername, $bbuserinfo;

if (!$enableemail) {
return;
}
$emailposttime=vbdate($timeformat,time());
$emailpostdate=vbdate($dateformat,time());
$threadinfo = getthreadinfo($threadid);
$foruminfo = getforuminfo($threadinfo[forumid]);


I'm getting the email, but no date an time is show in it. Any ideas?

greetings Tina
