Date/time of original post in search results

[Dennis Olson]

Awhile back, I was assisted here in adding the date/time of the original post underneath each thread title (thanks!) One of the steps involved initializing a date and time var in one of the includes for the forumdisplay php. Works great. However, the SEARCH results (which use the same display template as forumdisplay) do not show a value for that var (obviously because the INIT isn't where it needs to be).

I'd sure appreciate being pointed in the right direction (php-include-wise), where I might install those two var inits.

Thanks!

I am not sure about the INIT thing, the way I did it is like that:

Open the "search.php" and find:


$dataQuery = "
SELECT $previewfield
thread.threadid, thread.threadid AS postid, thread.title AS threadtitle, thread.iconid AS threadiconid,
thread.replycount, IF(thread.views=0, thread.replycount+1, thread.views) as views, thread.sticky,
thread.pollid, thread.open, thread.lastpost AS postdateline,
thread.lastpost, thread.lastposter, thread.attach, thread.postusername, thread.forumid,
user.userid AS postuserid


Replace that with:


$dataQuery = "
SELECT $previewfield
thread.threadid, thread.threadid AS postid, thread.title AS threadtitle, thread.iconid AS threadiconid,
thread.replycount, IF(thread.views=0, thread.replycount+1, thread.views) as views, thread.sticky,
thread.pollid, thread.open, thread.lastpost AS postdateline,
thread.lastpost, thread.lastposter, thread.attach, thread.postusername, thread.dateline AS dateline, thread.forumid,
user.userid AS postuserid


Then in the same file, find:


eval('$searchbits .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit') . '";');


Right above that, add:


$thread_dateline = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $thread['dateline']);


Save and upload search.php

Open file forumdisplay.php and find:


while ($thread = $DB_site->fetch_array($threads))
{


Below that, add:


$thread_dateline = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $thread['dateline']);


Save and upload forumdisplay.php

Now you can use the variable $thread_dateline, in your threadbit template, next to the creator's name. In threadbit template find:


<if condition="$show['guestuser']">
$thread[postusername]
<else />
<span style="cursor:pointer" onclick="window.open('member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$thread[postuserid]')">$thread[postusername] </span>
</if>


Below that add:


($thread_dateline)


And you are done.
