Could this be anything maybe?

PHP Code:

// get last reply time
  if ($postid) {
    $dateline=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT dateline
                                     FROM post
                                     WHERE postid='$postid'");
    $lastposttime=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT dateline
                                         FROM post
                                         WHERE threadid = '$threadid'
                                               AND dateline < $dateline[dateline]
                                               AND visible = 1
                                         ORDER BY dateline DESC
                                         LIMIT 1");
  } else {
    $lastposttime=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT dateline
                                         FROM post
                                         WHERE threadid='$threadid'
                                         ORDER BY dateline DESC
                                         LIMIT 1");
  } 


[sabret00the]

have you tried $post[dateline] or $postdateline

also try $_POST[postdateline] or $_POST[$post[dateline]] or $_POST[$postdateline]

one of the latter should definately work

[MindTrix]

Hey sabret00the cheers for the help/advice, and you too assassingod i really REALLY appreciate it.

Yet, sabret00the none of the codes in your post worked at all Did i need to move any php code anywhere?

[sabret00the]

nope you should've just been able to do

$custompostime = $_POST[$dateline]

or something of the sort and then call it in your template as $customposttime

sorry i couldn't help more, if steve checks this again, he might be able to use what i tried to get it to work.

[MindTrix]

So surely i have to place

$custompostime = $_POST[$dateline]

Somewhere in a php file? I was just adding the codes you listed above in the other post to a template, which obviously were comming up blank. Basically i just want to be able to show the time a new reply was made, in another template.

[sabret00the]

in your functions.php

what exactly are you trying to do it could go a along way towards me trying to help you

[MindTrix]

Yeah your write lol, im jus beein over protective cause its something simple i wanted to do and i cant Plus i wanted to release it as a tiny hack if i got it to work i jus didnt want someone doin it b4 me (if they aint already) Blah ill pm u what im doing

[sabret00the]

fromw hat you explained, you can't do it the way it the way i was trying to do it but rather using a query, if i think you mean what i think you mean, anyway, check the query that's used in the forumdisplay.php

[MindTrix]

Ok i found this code in the forumdisplay.php and i think/hope its the one i need

PHP Code:

   // dates
        if ($forum['lastpost']>0) {
          $forum['lastpostdate']=vbdate($dateformat,$forum['lastpost']);
          $forum['lastposttime']=vbdate($timeformat,$forum['lastpost']);
          eval("\$forum['lastpostinfo'] = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_lastpostby')."\";");
        } else {
          $forum['lastpostinfo']='Never';
        } 


If it is could you let me know where i need to put it in the functions.php because im guessing i cant just chuck it in there.
