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

Yes, I figured that one out. You're only seeing "Today, at ______" because you must have applied the "at" variation to this hack (found here) somewhere other than the "Last visited" date.

You can't use the "at" modification within vbdate() itself -- not the way vB is written. You should only use the "at" modification in specific places where you want to see "at". It isn't appropriate in many places because vB only passes a date -- and not a time -- to many displayed dates throughout the system.

Hope that helps.

ill try that out.

Help! I installed the hack and it works wonderfully, and my Mods love it, however, I have now lost the date (not the time) in my posts... what did I do wrong? Using vbulletin 2.5

Thanks!

Hey ASweetDeal,

I'd recommend checking out your templates. This hack doesn't do anything to eliminate the dates from anything, because of the way vB handles dates and times. You might try comparing the templates of the affected areas with the originals and seeing if there are any changes. If that doesn't work, I'll wrack my brain for more.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
