Date/time of original post in search results

I'd sure appreciate being pointed in the right direction (php-include-wise), where I might install those two var inits.

Thanks!

I am not sure about the INIT thing, the way I did it is like that:

Open the "search.php" and find:

PHP Code:

$dataQuery = "
            SELECT $previewfield
                thread.threadid, thread.threadid AS postid, thread.title AS threadtitle, thread.iconid AS threadiconid,
                thread.replycount, IF(thread.views=0, thread.replycount+1, thread.views) as views, thread.sticky,
                thread.pollid, thread.open, thread.lastpost AS postdateline,
                thread.lastpost, thread.lastposter, thread.attach, thread.postusername, thread.forumid,
                user.userid AS postuserid 


Replace that with:

PHP Code:

$dataQuery = "
            SELECT $previewfield
                thread.threadid, thread.threadid AS postid, thread.title AS threadtitle, thread.iconid AS threadiconid,
                thread.replycount, IF(thread.views=0, thread.replycount+1, thread.views) as views, thread.sticky,
                thread.pollid, thread.open, thread.lastpost AS postdateline,
                thread.lastpost, thread.lastposter, thread.attach, thread.postusername, thread.dateline AS dateline, thread.forumid,
                user.userid AS postuserid 


Then in the same file, find:

PHP Code:

eval('$searchbits .= "' . fetch_template('threadbit') . '";'); 


Right above that, add:

PHP Code:

$thread_dateline = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $thread['dateline']); 


Save and upload search.php

Open file forumdisplay.php and find:

PHP Code:

while ($thread = $DB_site->fetch_array($threads))
        { 


Below that, add:

PHP Code:

$thread_dateline = vbdate($vboptions['dateformat'], $thread['dateline']); 


Save and upload forumdisplay.php

Now you can use the variable $thread_dateline, in your threadbit template, next to the creator's name. In threadbit template find:

<if condition="$show['guestuser']">
				$thread[postusername]
			<else />
				<span style="cursor:pointer" onclick="window.open('member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$thread[postuserid]')">$thread[postusername] </span>
			</if>

Below that add:

($thread_dateline)

And you are done.
