Show Thread Enhancements - Display the date of creation of threads

This mod displays the date of creation of threads. This appears near the original poster on showthread.php and on search.php in "Show Theads" search method.

Only 3 plugins, 1 for each location and 1 for edit the template cache for apply the content found on previous plugins.

Enjoy

PS: this is the version 1.0.1, the 1.0.0 version applied only on showthread.php

I installed it.

I Changed this line in the xml code..

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.0" maxversion="3.6.99" />

and from 3.6.99 I did it 3.7.99 and it was installed

Has anyone installed this on 3.8.2?

Does anyone know any reason why it wouldn't work on 3.8.2?

[Outbackmark]

I just installed it on 3.8.2 and it works fine, just change the dependancy settings in the xml file to look like this -

<dependencies>
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.8.2" maxversion="3.8.9" />
</dependencies>

If you are not sure how to I have attached the ammended files.

[RedHotChili]

Thanks so much, Outbackmark.

I really appreciate it!

This is what my xml says:

Looking into the whole plugin there is 2 with this mod.

1. Threadbit_Process -

if ($thread['dateline']) {
    $thread['threaddate'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $thread['dateline'], 1);
}

2. Global_Start -

if (THIS_SCRIPT == ('search' || 'forumdisplay')) {
         $vbulletin->templatecache['threadbit'] = str_replace(
                   '$thread[postusername]</span>',
                   '$thread[postusername]</span> <span class=\"time\">($thread[threaddate])</span>',
                   $vbulletin->templatecache['threadbit']
                   );
}

This is what it shows in my plugin area:

Product : Thread Date Insert

fix thread dates - threadbit_process

insert thread date into template - global_start

Maybe this will help others if the other way mentioned doesn't help? I am sure this mod has been modified to be able to be used by the latest version of VB 3.8.2 by my upgrade that does this for me but not 100% sure.

Noob question. Do I enter the entire code below in the box that asks for the PHP code for the plugin, or just the PHP portion of it?

I'm at the "Add New Plugin" in my ACP.

I looked through this code and it looks like the Hook Location is: parse_templates

But in the Plugin PHP Code it seems like it's asking strictly for PHP code and not xml, which is what what was provided in the download.

So do I just pick out the PHP code from this and enter it there, or should I just enter the whole thing?

My apologies again for the noob question, but do I need to enter just the PHP code here or do I enter the entire xml? (See post above.)

[RedHotChili]

Anybody here able to explain how to do this plugin?

[RedHotChili]

Wow, nobody willing to help?

I see a lot of activity in this forum but my simple request for help keeps getting ignored.

I got an email notice this morning about not forgetting to check off the install button. Just because I downloaded doesn't mean I've installed. And if I can't get help here in installing this simple plugin I can't mark this as installed.
