Social Group and Album Enhancements - Add Last Poster to Social Groups list

For some reason the lastposter is not shown on the Social Groups list. To add it, open the socialgroups_grouplist_bit template and find these lines:

            $group[lastpostdate]
            <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">
                <br /><span class="time">$group[lastposttime]</span>
            </if>

ADD right underneath:

            <br />by <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$group[lastposterid]">$group[lastposter]</a>

That's it!


edit: There is a cool idea from Mark.B in post 7:

Note there is a space at the very start.

I don't mind at all. I didn't understand his question, so I couldn't help him.

Installed.

I suppose others might also want to go all the way with this formatting idea and make it exactly match the other areas with similar info. Instead of the above, try the following:

Replace the entire block. Remove everything between and including:

	<if condition="$show['lastpostinfo']">

and it corresponding ending:

	</if>

Then, replace it with the following:

	<if condition="$show['lastpostinfo']">
			<div style="text-align: $stylevar[left]">
				$group[lastpostdate] 
				<if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">
					<span class="time">$group[lastposttime]</span>
				</if>
			</div>
			<if condition="$group['lastposterid']">
				<div style="text-align: $stylevar[right]">
			        <phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$group[lastposterid]" 2="$group[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
					<a href="group.php?$session[sessionurl]do=discuss&amp;gmid=$group[lastgmid]#gmessage$group[lastgmid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
        		</div>
		    </if>
	<else />
		<div style="text-align: $stylevar[left]">
			<div style="text-align: $stylevar[left]">
				$vbphrase[group_created]
			</div>
			$group[lastpostdate] 
			<if condition="!$show['detailedtime']">
				<span class="time">$group[lastposttime]</span>
		        </if>
		</div>
	</if>

This will give the information the same text alignment as similar blocks in other templates and also matches the presentation for the create date of the group if there are no messages to display. Additionally, it uses the standard phrases instead of hard coding "by" in the template.
