Post Timestamp Visibility

[Prisoner]

Is there any mod that would allow only admins or select groups to see the timestamp of a message?

I've never heard of one. I would imagine you could just put a condition around the timestamp in the postbit. Or write a plugin to do the same thing (with no template edit)

hook location - postbit_display_complete

PHP Code:

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,6)) 
{
$post['posttime'] = ' ';
$post['postdate'] = ' ';
} 


Modify to suite your needs.

Thank you, I will try it.

--------------- Added [DATE]1319899447[/DATE] at [TIME]1319899447[/TIME] ---------------

I'm sorry, I looked for the lines above, posttime and postdate, but couldn't find them. Are they in the postbit template.

Am I looking in the right place?

[Prisoner]

I found it, applied it by creating the plugin, but the time and date wasn't visible for anyone.

It works for me, what was the exact code you used?

[Prisoner]

Exactly as she had in the example, tried it with '6' and '22' my webmaster usergroup.

PHP Code:

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,22)) 
{
$post['posttime'] = ' ';
$post['postdate'] = ' ';
}

6 is the admin usergroup- usually. As it was written ONLY users in group 6 should see the date.

[Prisoner]

Maybe it's because I use two groups, Administrators and Webmaster. Will try it in a few.

[BirdOPrey5]

This would be the line for both groups:

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6, 22))

[Prisoner]

Still the same, no matter which group I put in there, it disappears for everyone.

When I make the plugin inactive, it comes back. When I take the Date line out of it, just the date shows.

I must be missing something.

Sorry to be such a bother.
