Display the date of creation of threads

This mod displays the date of creation of threads. This appears near the original poster on showthread.php and on search.php in "Show Theads" search method.

Only 3 plugins, 1 for each location and 1 for edit the template cache for apply the content found on previous plugins.

Enjoy ;)

PS: this is the version 1.0.1, the 1.0.0 version applied only on showthread.php :)

It uses the same CSS class as the author name (CSS class "smallfont") :)

Hi and thanks but I wannt use the same class, what should I do or how? :o

PitchouneN64ngc

For this, you must to know the use of regular expression and to edit the "parse_templates" hook like this:

HTML Code:

$vbulletin->templatecache['threadbit'] = preg_replace(

    '/\$thread\[postusername\]/',

    '\\0 <span class=\"xyz\">($startdate)</span>',

    $vbulletin->templatecache['threadbit']

);

I haven't tested this previous code.

It EATS CPU and generation of any simple forumdisplay with threadlist takes 5 times more time.

Looking at the code, this is highly unlikely.

Works on 3.7.0 gold as well so you all know.

I'll see for check my mods for 3.7 and tell someone to move it if possible (or duplicate it specially for 3.7) :)

Just give me a few time to finish my actual work if possible ;)

How did you manage it? I try to install it and I got the following message.

The following dependencies were not met:

1. This product is not compatible with version 3.7.0 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.6.0 / Incompatible with 3.6.99 and greater)

Charlie98902

05-08-2008 01:21 AM

I had it on 3.6.9 and then used a test forum to update 3.6.9 to 3.7.0 Then I enabled the plugin. I didn't actually install it on 3.7.0

johnban

05-12-2008 02:09 PM

I installed it.

I Changed this line in the xml code..

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.0" maxversion="3.6.99" />

and from 3.6.99 I did it 3.7.99 and it was installed :)

Has anyone installed this on 3.8.2?

Does anyone know any reason why it wouldn't work on 3.8.2?

Outbackmark

I just installed it on 3.8.2 and it works fine, just change the dependancy settings in the xml file to look like this -

This is what my xml says:

Code:

                   '$thread[postusername]</span> <span class=\"time\">($thread[threaddate])</span>',

                   $vbulletin->templatecache['threadbit']

                   );

                </plugin>

                <plugin active="1" executionorder="5">

                        <title>fix thread dates</title>

                        <hookname>threadbit_process</hookname>

                        <phpcode><![CDATA[if ($thread['dateline']) {

    $thread['threaddate'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $thread['dateline'], 1);

        </cronentries>

        <faqentries>

Looking into the whole plugin there is 2 with this mod.

1. Threadbit_Process -

Code:

if ($thread['dateline']) {

    $thread['threaddate'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $thread['dateline'], 1);

}

2. Global_Start -

Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == ('search' || 'forumdisplay')) {

         $vbulletin->templatecache['threadbit'] = str_replace(

                   '$thread[postusername]</span>',

                   '$thread[postusername]</span> <span class=\"time\">($thread[threaddate])</span>',

                   $vbulletin->templatecache['threadbit']

                   );

}

This is what it shows in my plugin area:

Product : Thread Date Insert

fix thread dates - threadbit_process

insert thread date into template - global_start

Maybe this will help others if the other way mentioned doesn't help? I am sure this mod has been modified to be able to be used by the latest version of VB 3.8.2 by my upgrade that does this for me but not 100% sure.

Noob question. Do I enter the entire code below in the box that asks for the PHP code for the plugin, or just the PHP portion of it? :confused:

I'm at the "Add New Plugin" in my ACP.

I looked through this code and it looks like the Hook Location is: parse_templates

But in the Plugin PHP Code it seems like it's asking strictly for PHP code and not xml, which is what what was provided in the download.

So do I just pick out the PHP code from this and enter it there, or should I just enter the whole thing? :confused:

My apologies again for the noob question, but do I need to enter just the PHP code here or do I enter the entire xml? (See post above.)

Anybody here able to explain how to do this plugin?

Wow, nobody willing to help? :confused:

I see a lot of activity in this forum but my simple request for help keeps getting ignored.

I got an email notice this morning about not forgetting to check off the install button. Just because I downloaded doesn't mean I've installed. And if I can't get help here in installing this simple plugin I can't mark this as installed.

Sorry Red I did not see your posts.
Just download the file from my post above go to your product manager, scroll all the way down and clicl Add/Import Product, then click the choose button (Top Right) and navigate to the file on your PC. Click Open then upload it, and it will install from there.

Thank you so much for posting the much needed instructions that a total n00b like me really needed. I realize that for you coders and experienced users it is pretty obvious how to do this, but for beginners at the crawling stage it really helps knowing which steps to take and in what order.

Thank you again for taking the trouble to help me out. I did exactly as you instructed and it works just as you said it would.

just installed on 3.8.3, using the attached file you posted above, outbackmark.

worked like a charm, this should probably be resubmitted in the 3.8 mods, since it works just fine with it. :) thanks!

Anyone here know how to change the colour of the font used to display the date? I want to make it blend into the background slightly to look less 'cluttered'.

Thanks!

P.S. working on 3.8.6 using the dependency trick on page 2 I think.
