Last Post Date

[theArchitect]

I have a hack on my forum home page which displays the 10 most recent posts. But next to the "Go To Last Post Button" I want to display the date (like in the forum view which is below this list).

The code I am using to show the date and time of the last post in that thread is

$lastpostinfo[lastpostdate]

But for some reason nothing is being displayed.

Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.

Maybe you should ask this in the thread of the hack you have installed. Maybe this info don't get queried from teh database. Difficult to give an answer without seeing the hack.

Well, the problem is that it was a custom hack I paid for and I haven't heard from the original author for months now.

KirbyDE kindly ported it into 3.5.0 for me but I don't think he has the time to assist or I would not need to ask here.

Well then you should at least post the hack here, and maybe someone will be so kind to look at it. But without seeing it, there is no chance someone can guess why it doesn't work, or what to changes to make it work.

Sure. There is one plug-in (but I am not sure if that is needed) and then the template modification which looks like this.

<tr>
	<td class="alt1Active" id="t$last[threadid]">
		
		<div>
			<a 

href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$last[threadid]"><if condition="$shownewpost"><strong><font color="#ca0000"></if>$last[title]<if condition="$shownewpost"></font></strong></if></a>
		</div>
<div class="smallfont"><span style="float:$stylevar[right]">Forum: <a 

href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$last[forumid]" 

alt="$last[forumtitle]">$last[forumtitle]</a></span><span style="cursor:pointer" 

onclick="window.open('member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$last[postuserid]')">$last[postusername]</span>
</div>
		
	</td>
	

	<td class="alt2" title="<phrase 1="$last[replycount]" 2="$last[views]">$vbphrase[replies_x_views_y]</phrase>">
		<div class="smallfont" style="text-align:$stylevar[right]; white-space:nowrap">
		 <div><phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&amp;t=$last[threadid]" 2="$last[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase></div> $last[lastpost]&nbsp<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=newpost&amp;t=$last[threadid]" title="<phrase 1="$last[title]">$vbphrase[go_first_unread_in_thread_x]</phrase>"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="<phrase  1="$last[title]">$vbphrase[go_first_unread_in_thread_x]</phrase>" border="0" /></a>

		</div>

	</td>
	
		<td class="alt1" align="center">
$last[replycount]
</td>
		<td class="alt2" align="center">$last[views]</td>

</tr>

I am assuming that the $last[lastpost] is what should draw the date and time of the last post from the DB.

Do you need any other info?

You should have posted the plugin, not the template. Not much we can see from that.

Sorry guys. Here you go.

[Logikos]

So you just want the date and time of the lastpost?
