Thread Start date/time

Inspired in wluke's hack:

open forumdisplay.php

find code:

$threads=$DB_site->query("
SELECT $dotuserid $votequery ".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath,','')."
thread.threadid,thread.title,lastpost, forumid,pollid,open,replycount,postusername,postus erid,
lastposter,thread.dateline,

replace it with:

$threads=$DB_site->query("
SELECT $dotuserid $votequery ".iif($foruminfo[allowicons],'icon.title as icontitle,icon.iconpath,','')."
thread.threadid,thread.title,lastpost, forumid,pollid,open,replycount,postusername,postus erid,
lastposter,thread.dateline AS threadstart,

find code:(2x)

$thread[lastreplydate]=vbdate($dateformat,$thread[lastpost]);
$thread[lastreplytime]=vbdate($timeformat,$thread[lastpost]);

insert after it:

$thread[threadstartdate]=vbdate($dateformat,$thread[threadstart]);
$thread[threadstarttime]=vbdate($timeformat,$thread[threadstart]);

save and close forumdisplay.php

edit forumdisplaybit template

find:

<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" width="30%" nowrap><normalfont>$thread[postedby]

replace it with:

<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" width="30%" nowrap><smallfont>$thread[threadstartdate] <font color="{timecolor}">$thread[threadstarttime]</font><br> by $thread[postedby]</smallfont></td>

save it

done

ethank, that's not the case with my board. Which version of the hack did you use, mine or nuno's?

[zarkov]

ethank, the thread starter was already "underlined" without this hack and the last post members name wasnt.

It has nothing to do with the hack m8, Although i cant see where the underline is comming from

thanks a lot /\/uno !!!

it was very simple and it works great and now my members

are very pleased...

I applied the hack, but the color of the time is not the same as in Last Post.

just my opinion but wouldnt it look better if it had the posters name then the date and time? maybe it is easy to do i havent even tried to install it maybe ill do this and have the name appeare above time thanx for hack

While looks are subjective, I prefer a consistent look with the Last Post, inlcuding no undeline and red time in Thread Starter. Anyone know how to change them?

Thanks in advance.

Seems how we just launch the site last week, this is a nice feature I never thought of..

Thanks! Worked Great JJR...

almighty one, just re arrange stuff in "forumdisplaybit" template...

EX: http://forums.yourhostsucks.com/foru...php?&forumid=5

I removed by: and align=center.. not sure if I like it yet...
But the name on top is the way to go... *I think*


If you would like the name on the front (last post) to be on top..

That is in "forumhome_lastpostby" template..

You want to remove the link to last poster profile,
and the post time?

No, I want the Thread Starter to look similar to Last Post, that is, the user name is not underlined and the time stamp is in red because the time stamp is also in read in Last Post.

In "forumdisplaybit" template :

PHP Code:

$thread[firstpostdate] $thread[firstposttime] 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

$thread[firstpostdate] <font color="{ timecolor }">$thread[firstposttime]</font> 


Note: Take the spaces out from around "timecolor"

Then I just got vBulletin a week or so ago.. So I am not sure why those links look different.. but you can remove the line by editing
forumdisplay.php

Around line 598 or so:

Find:

PHP Code:

      $thread['postedby'] = "<a href=\"member.php?action=getinfo&userid=$thread[postuserid]\">$thread[postusername]</a>"; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

      $thread['postedby'] = "<a href=\"member.php?action=getinfo&userid=$thread[postuserid]\" style=\"text-decoration: none\">$thread[postusername]</a>"; 


...


If someone knows the proper "vBulletin" way to remove the line.. please post so..
