You don't add that part to the postbit. You have to go to Languages and Phrases in the admin cp and then select Phrase manager then add that phrase :)

Installed. Thanks.

Sorry have just tried this all seems to be working well but only get,

The Last Online text in not there can anyone help?

Have sorted please ignore

Wow I forgot about this little addtion. This little modification has recived more installs then just about anything I've released, thanks to all that have installed/replied.

I see a few suggestions for this one, so I'll be re-coding it soon to make it a bit eaiser to install. I'll also make sure it is working with the latest version.

I'll put this in the next update. :)

Thanks again all.

I installed your hack and followed the instructions EXACTLY but it's not showing up in my postbit... wanna help?

You will need to provide me with some sample code, can I see your modified template? Also are you sure you turned on the plug-in system?

As promised the new version is now up and is a bit easier to install, you may want to try giving it a shot as I have tested it on version 3.5.1

Updated without a hitch.

Good to hear. :)

I always get a bit worried when I send out the e-mail updates. ;)

I got it figured out.. i need to edit my postbit_legacy temp


ey...this upgrade, was this released just a few mins ago? beacuse I just installed this not long ago and it doesn't say what version this is that i'm using in my plugin manager. if you did just upgrade what is new and great that I should upgrade?

I would upgrade, simply because the old version showed the last online time when a user was invisable. :)

One thing I've noticed is that if a user gets pruned, their last online date/time shows as 12-31-1969 06:00 PM. I'm assuming that it would be the same on boards that allow unregistered users to post. Any way to not show the line if the user is not registered?

Very nice, installed

is there anyway to change it to say the date like 13/15/05 instead of yesterday 3:14pm etc?? if so where ans how?

How do I edit the actual time format?

My choicee
Last Online: 11-20-05

To remove the time simply remove

From the postbit template.

This plug-in uses the vBulletin date settings, see this page http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/v...group_datetime

I'll provide a fix for this soon.

Thanks!

thanks
