YESTERDAY/TODAY DATESTAMP HACK - Updated 5/25/02
Tested and working on vB 2.2.1 -> 2.2.6

Description: This hack replaces the standard "05-25-02, 02:45 PM" date with "Today" or "Yesterday" anywhere you have a date posted, if the date matches today's or yesterday's date.

Demo: Installed on vBulletin.org.

The following are add-ons that may be helpful depending on your specific needs.

Extra features:

Template-based version : Allows you to specify different values for "Today" and "Yesterday" -- useful if you have multiple language style sets on your board. (i.e., you can set the value for today to "Today" in your English style set, and "Aujourd'hui" for your Francais style set.)
Change "You last visited:" to the "Today 08:33PM" format : Due to the way vB was coded, this does not happen by default. Follow the instructions in this link to make this change.
Change the date style to "Today, at 08:33 PM"

Helpful template hacks: Due to the way the standard vB template set handles date columns in forumhome.php and forumdisplay.php, some template changes may be of use:

To modify forumhome.php: Follow the instructions here
To modify forumdisplay.php: Follow the instructions here

I'm not sure why you'd be getting a parse error, unless you made some sort of mistake when editing the code. The lines should read exactly like this:

PHP Code:


			
if ($date==$todaydate) {

  $date="heute";

}

PS -- I'll be out of town for a couple of days, so anyone needs support, hold tight until Saturday!

I had a similiar problem. I wanted to replace "Today" with "Today at" and couldn't get it to work either :disappointed:
I'd be interested to know what's going wrong?

There might be a fixed length needed?

When replacing "today" with "heute", all is well.
When replacing "yesterday" with it's German correspondant "gestern", there occurs an error. When I chose " gestern" (mark the two leading blanks), all is well again.

Strange, maybe someone can enlighten us?

TheMasterG, LamBras:

I can't seem to replicate this problem on my own board.

What version of PHP are you running?

LamBras · #66 03-23-2002, 08:06 AM

4.0.6

bigmattyh · #67 03-23-2002, 02:34 PM

Well, honestly, I'm stumped. There should be no reason that you can't change what's in the quotes for $date="".

Stumped, I tells you. Stumped.

LamBras · #68 03-23-2002, 04:04 PM

I can change it, but it must have the same length as "today" and "yesterday". Well, the workaround is using blanks.

I use this hack also on a german Board. Without any problems. :surprised:

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
