Dates put into thread title automatically

[OndaReal]

On my forum there are sections that my members post news in. I have a rule up where, when a member posts a new thread they have to put in the date too for example "June 9 - World Cup Kicks off"

So basically i want it to be like so when they go to post the news they wont need to put in the "June 9" bit because it will do it automatically for them. I know this is possible because i have seen it in another vb forum, I cant reach the admin on there because hes never around so im wondering if anyone off here can help me with this

Probably not the best way but quickly, I think you could do it this way...
Create a new hook in threabit_display ...

global $ondarealdate;
$ondarealdate = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $thread['dateline'], true);

Then in your threadbit template, you can put $ondarealdate anywhere you want..

Another idea might be to manipulate the query or thread title before it is inserted into the database. I'll take a look at this later.

Edit: I'm testing an implementation and will provide an update in the morning.
