Use the function vbdate on the postdate timestamp. That function should be in /includes/functions.php

looks like this is over my head, maybe I am lucky and an addon will apear with something similar. Thanks for the help Lynne

Exactly where do you want it to be (which template)?

I want to use it in postbit_legacy

kh99	02-27-2012 04:34 PM

OK, you could create a plugin using hook location postbit_display_complete and code like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$post['day'] = vbdate('l', $post['dateline']);

$post['month'] = vbdate('F', $post['dateline']);

$post['year'] = vbdate('Y', $post['dateline']);

and then in the template use {vb:raw post.day}, {vb:raw post.month}, and {vb:raw post.year}.

To see what the 'l', 'F', and 'Y' mean and what other things you could put there, see this page in the php manual: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

If you haven't created a plugin before, see the vb manual here: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/add_plugin

I've created the plugin and it works but it displays the date january 1970, how I make it to show the date of the post.

Oops, 'postdate' should have been 'dateline' (in 3 places) - I fixed the code above.

edyy is hoping to recreate the "Calendar" style date boxes I use on my forum.

Here is exactly what I have at the same hook location:

Code:

$post['month'] = date('M', $post['dateline']);

$post['month'] = strtoupper($post['month']);

$post['day'] = date('d', $post['dateline']);

$post['year'] = date('Y', $post['dateline']);

The only real difference in mine is the addition of a line of code to convert the month to upper case.

Make sure the plugin is at the correct location AND you have it set to "Active".

I use it to create the below:

Works perfect. Thank you for your help.

--------------- Added [DATE]1330369427[/DATE] at [TIME]1330369427[/TIME] ---------------

Yes I try to recreate your calendar, I hope you don't mind. The plugin kh99 made works perfect.

All times are GMT. The time now is 07:00 PM.
