Show start date of threads!
 

Hello everybody..

This small add will show start dates of threads on your FORUMDISPLAY..!
-- works with vb 3.5 & vb 3.6 ..!

1 plugin
1 template change

1- Import the (plugin) from admincp
http://yourforum/admincp/plugin.php?do=files


2- Open threadbit template

find:

replace with:
-- you will do that two times!

done!

This has already been done twice. :)

no problem friend :)
I just want to share what I did cause I needed smething like that but I couldn't find

OK. just wanted you to know there are 2 such mods I know of right here.

Installed nice 1

One of them doesnt require file editing from what I know.

Why people make such comments :rolleyes:

This is interesting, does it add a query to forumdisplay.php?

What's it to you?

but the problem is some people may change the place of thread starter and if I made it without edting it may cause a problem!


it adds a query to threadbit_display

It's as much to me as your comment is to the mod. Different authors, different code, anyone has the right to make the 100th similar addon if they wish.

And I have the right to say it's been done before. Don't like it, don't read it.

Stop being a trouble maker and move on

Honestly, is this a forum, not a schoolyard.

There is no rule against people releasing another modification that does the same thing as previous mods, as long as code is not copied - there are many examples of this on vb.org. There is no need to comment about it. No more please.

i installed it

but that increase the server load
& the page doesn`t open until i uninstall it

any idea?

Because this plugin adds an extra query for every thread bit. If you have 100 threads showing on forumdisplay, that's 100 extra queries!

This can be done easily without queries. the threadbit_display hook already has access to $thread['dateline']. Just run it through vbdate and assign it to a template variable.

Hi Fastforward,

Can you please do it in a new thread?

Works well for me many thanks!!

humm now I do understand why my pages slowed so down. :erm: is there another way to do this without that uge ammount of queries? my forumdisplay has 25 threads and it stops >7/8 seconds b4 giving results. I wont imagine a 100 threads forumdisplay lol

How can we extend this functionality on other pages like newposts, search.php? Currently this only extends to thread_display plugin.

Hi. It works perfect in IE but not in FireFox...

In FF it shows "By" but it´s not showing "Start Date":

Start Date: - By: Fulano

Any idea?

i cant find my templates to threadbit_display. My threadbit is:

threadbit
threadbit_announcement
threadbit_deleted
threadbit_lastvisit
threadbit_pagelink

where is the threadbit_display? Can you show me this. i use 3.6.8 version.

threadbit_display is the plugin hook. The template is threadbit

1) Create a plugin against the threadbit_display hook containing the following code:
$thread['fdate'] = date('M nS, Y', $thread['dateline']);

2) Add the text to the threadbit template in the appropriate place. Something like:
Started by $thread[postusername] on $thread[fdate]

Tnx m8 for the mod but to be honest this is way to much serverload for us so this isn't an option.

So I added some lines in 1 file and added the $ in threadbit and done ;)

But tnx again :D

Best, Todecay!

it slow the load of the threads page

i uninstall it as it slow my vb
