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

Boofo: I'm afraid I don't know why it wouldn't be working. I would suggest removing the hack and then re-installing it, and then see if that works!

It works, it just doesn't show the "at" or work with the last time on thing. It shows today and yestereday every where else it is supposed to. I tried un-installing and re-installing, and it still does the same thing. There must be another hack messing with it, but I can't figure out what it would be or where it would be at. If you want to look at any files or anything, let me know.

I changed this

PHP Code:


			
<td nowrap align="right"><smallfont>$thread[lastreplydate] <font color="{timecolor}">$thread[lastreplytime]</font><br>by <a href="member.php?action=getinfo&find=lastposter&threadid=$thread[threadid]"><b>$thread[lastposter]</b></a></smallfont></td>

to

PHP Code:


			
<td nowrap align="right" width="100%"><smallfont>$thread[lastreplydate] <font color="{timecolor}">$thread[lastreplytime]</font><br>by <a href="member.php?action=getinfo&find=lastposter&threadid=$thread[threadid]"><b>$thread[lastposter]</b></a></smallfont></td>

and it never worked

If your dates are not aligning correctly in forumhome.php, change the first line of the forumhome_lastpostby template to this:

Code:

	<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="ltlink" align="right"><tr align="right">

bigmattyh, please help with align in forumdisplay. How template need changed?

bigmattyh · #**118** 05-25-2002, 08:01 PM

I just looked at your forums, and it looks like the dates are aligning correctly.... If there still is a problem, try the template change I listed here, or show me what you mean with a screen shot.

inetd · #**119** 05-25-2002, 10:29 PM

bigmattyh, yes, i changed forumhome and all right on vb Main Page. But i need correct align in forumdisplay.
You understand me?

bigmattyh · #**120** 05-25-2002, 11:11 PM

If your dates are not aligning correctly in forumdisplay.php, follow these instructions to fix them:

In the template forumdisplaybit, right after

Code:

    $threadrating

find:

Code:

    <td bgcolor="$backcolor">
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" id="ltlink"><tr align="right">

Replace that code with this:

Code:

    <td bgcolor="$backcolor">
        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" id="ltlink" align="right"><tr align="right">
