YESTERDAY/TODAY DATESTAMP HACK - Updated 5/25/02
Tested and working on vB 2.2.1 -> 2.2.6

Description: This hack replaces the standard "05-25-02, 02:45 PM" date with "Today" or "Yesterday" anywhere you have a date posted, if the date matches today's or yesterday's date.

Demo: Installed on vBulletin.org.

The following are add-ons that may be helpful depending on your specific needs.

Extra features:

Template-based version : Allows you to specify different values for "Today" and "Yesterday" -- useful if you have multiple language style sets on your board. (i.e., you can set the value for today to "Today" in your English style set, and "Aujourd'hui" for your Francais style set.)
Change "You last visited:" to the "Today 08:33PM" format : Due to the way vB was coded, this does not happen by default. Follow the instructions in this link to make this change.
Change the date style to "Today, at 08:33 PM"

Helpful template hacks: Due to the way the standard vB template set handles date columns in forumhome.php and forumdisplay.php, some template changes may be of use:

To modify forumhome.php: Follow the instructions here
To modify forumdisplay.php: Follow the instructions here

bigmattyh, no. "Today" not right in table...

I think they are confused Matty. The table "BY DEFAULT" is aligned right. To you it looks like its aligned left because without the "today" or "yesterday" time stamp the content fills the entire cell, thus the reason you think its aligned left.

I beleive thats what they are trying to say. They would have to modify the forumdisplay_forumlists template and align that cell right.

There was a discussion about this alignment issue here.

Well, I can't seem to make the " at " work now and the code is in there. Also, I can't get it to show for the last time you were on part of it. The code is there too, but it still shows the date, even when it is today or yesterday. Any ideas?

bigmattyh · #**109** 05-19-2002, 12:33 AM

The instructions to make the "at" are here.

The instructions to make the date work for "last visited" are here.

Boofo · #**110** 05-19-2002, 01:25 AM

Tried both of them and didn't work. It worked at one time, I know, but it sure isn't wotking now. It shows the today and yesterday in the last post fine (but with no "at") but not the welcome back info. Any other ideas?
