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

I didn't have to change anything from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6 with this hack. It worked fine with both versions.

Hey IceMalee,

I checked out our forums via your www link -- the dates and times seem to be working all right... is there some other problem going on?

Since I have installed this hack my 'maxloggedin' in messed up!

What could be the problem??

Just to show you what I still don't know about vbulletin, what is "maxloggedin" and where do you use it?

In the database the maxloggedin table is now updated constantly, its the place where vB stores the "Most Users ever online"

Hey xug,

Well, in the 3+ months that this hack has been out, your issue is certainly a first.

I'm fairly certain (99.44% sure) that the maxloggedin problem isn't related to this hack. Although I have seen some issue somewhere on this board about your particular problem, I can't remember what the specific issue was.

Try a search here, for maxloggedin. If that doesn't work, try over at vbulletin.com.
