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

Hi there. This is a test message.

Before I go opening up the code at 2:30 in the morning, is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks,

By the way, I did verify that this was in fact a problem with my particular installation. I modified this hack when I installed it so that if vbdate() was passed a third argument, it would behave as it did before the yesterday/today hack was installed.

The argument, in this case doesn't matter--it simply counts--if it's more than 2, the yesterday/today replacement isn't made.

I won't provide the fix here since it doesn't apply to the same code. If you're getting it though, you'll need to make provisions to do the same.

Best wishes,
Paul

I am a complete newbie to vB hacking and this was the first one I tried, worked a treat on 2.2.9!

Nice clear instructions and does what it says on the tin, thanks for helping a complete lameass gain some confidence (y)
