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

How do I call the regular time, so that even if it was yesterday it still says the numbers instead of yesterday/today? I would like to have the option of where it says today and yesterday and other places not to.

When people quote each other I have it show the date of the original post. However, having this timestamp hack installed, their quotes say today or yesterday, but since it doesn't update the quote, the quotes are left saying today and yesterday forever.

Is there another command I can call so that it doesn't show the today or yesterday in the quotes, without removing the entire date?

The only thing that I see that doesn't work, is if you search for a user to prune in the ACP. It shows:

Last visit at:
Today, at

ogden2k · #**268** 05-06-2003, 05:54 PM

Also on the annoucements it just shows Today, at ??

What about dropping the leading '0'... for example,

02:24 AM -> 2:24 AM

Boofo · #**270** 05-12-2003, 06:45 AM

You can do that in your vbulletin options when you set up the time format.

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