New Posting Features - AutoDate

AutoDate 1.1.2
This plugin allows you to prefix a date in the title of a new thread. The date prefix, separator character, and forums with prefixing are all customizeable on the vBulletin Options page.

It should be noted that this will only work on new threads and not existing threads.

Changes from 1.1.1 to 1.1.2
- Added option to specify a specific timezone
- Added version checking

Changes from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1
- Fixed a bug in which prefixes were being repeated when hitting preview (when either all forums were prefixed or one specific forum)

Changes from 1.0.0 to 1.1.0
- Prefixed forums are now separated by spaces instead of commas
- Added option to prefix all forums
- Added preset prefix options
- Added master on-off switch

Very nice mod....This is just what i needed. Is there anyway, to make the date prefix Bold & in Red?

Hey, I notice a bug in the script. If you hit preview it adds the date over and over for every time you hit preview. I found a simple fix that probably isn't the best way to fix it.

Find

if ((!is_array($dateadd['forums'])) OR (in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $dateadd['forums']) AND !empty($_POST['subject'])))

and Replace It With

if ((!is_array($dateadd['forums'])) OR (in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $dateadd['forums']) AND !empty($_POST['subject']))AND !$_POST['preview'])

I installed it and it is not working?

I agree with above, it would be nice to just have the date the thread was started below the thread title.

I believe this hack uses almost the same procedures as the Event Forums hack by Hellcat, both have the same bug.

If so then by adding the

!$_POST['preview']

part to the right area it will check if your hitting the preview button or the submit button. Its so simple its probably easy to overlook.

The problem is with the way vBulletin stores the data before it makes a post. The only way to change the data is to directly edit the submitted data before the vbulletin gpc parser gets to it. Once it's parsed, it's unchangeable for obvious security reasons.

Installed now this is great cuz i help when someone like me has a lot of threads and most of them after awhile are not really worth looking at the date will help the members to not waste time on those older than what ever amount of months past .... kool thanks
