Help Modifying the Featured Threads Plugin

[DeadSeraphim]

As I outlined in a previous post, I'm currently doing some (seemingly) more complex work than usually done with vB, and am now working on the Featured Threads portion of the sidebar. I've decided to edit the Featured Threads plugin and bend it to my will, but I'm having trouble when it comes to editting the output.

As you can see in the image in the previous post, it shows not only the poster and thread, but the date it was created.

$display .= "

<img src='images/skin/subforum_icon.gif' border='0'> <a href='showthread.php?t=$row[threadid]'>$row[title]</a> - <span class='smallfont'>$row[ftdescription] - 
By $row[postusername]</span><br />";

I figure it's probably as easy as adding $row[date_created] or something, but I'm unfamiliar with the structure of vBulletin's tables, and have no way to check as the owner of the server hasn't been exactly forthcoming with allowing things like phpMyAdmin access. I could trawl through the code to find it, of course, but I don't even know where to look.

Assistance?

$row['dateline']

It is a Unix Timestamp, so you will have to convert it into a proper date, like so:

PHP Code:

date("DATEFORMAT", $row['timestamp']);
