Working now.

Thanks for hanging in there with me all day! It looks like it's working.

I hate to ask for more help but, what are the hooks for the time display on the ForumHome and Thread Display?

[BirdOPrey5]

Probably forumhome_complete and threadbit_process...

However you also need to change the variable, $post only works in postbit.

For forumhome it looks like:

$lastpostinfo['lastpostdate']

and for threadbit it looks like:

$thread['lastpostdate']

The way I did this by the way for future reference was to go to Admin CP -> Options -> General Settings -> Add Template Name in HTML Comments -> set to YES

Then load the pages you are curios about- in the source of the page will be comments saying what template the data is coming from.

Then I look in that template and see the variables being used where I want-

Template variables either look like {vb: raw thread.lastpostdate} or $thread['lastpostdate'] depending how they are used... but in plugins and php files they are ALWAYS the latter.

Thanks, I am trying to figure it out now.

I have it working in threadbit_process. I just had to change the variable to ['lastposttime'] in order to remove the time.

Just not able to find it in Forumhome.

[BirdOPrey5]

What code do you have for the forumhome_complete plugin?

[Prisoner]

This is one of many that I have tried.

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin;

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6))
{ 
  $lastpostinfo['lastpostdate'] = ' ';
} 


--------------- Added [DATE]1320428735[/DATE] at [TIME]1320428735[/TIME] ---------------

Haha! I'm learning...or lucky. It olny took me three tries to get it off the Search Results Page with.

search_results_threadbit

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin; 

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 6)) 
{  
  $thread['lastposttime'] = ' '; 
}

Been looking at forumhome... seems to be a very unusual situation here. First the actual hook would have been forumbit_display, not forumhome_complete. But even that doesn't work. There is no hook to let us alter the date/time on this page.

Instead you will need to edit the template directly.

In your style manger choose your style -> edit templates

Find the template: forumhome_lastpostby

Find the code:

<div align="$stylevar[right]" style="white-space:nowrap">
		$lastpostinfo[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</span></if>
		<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]#post$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
	</div>

and change it to:

<div align="$stylevar[right]" style="white-space:nowrap">
		 <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 22)">$lastpostinfo[lastpostdate] <if condition="!$show['detailedtime']"><span class="time">$lastpostinfo[lastposttime]</span></if></if>
		<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]#post$lastpostinfo[lastpostid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/lastpost.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a>
	</div>

(added code in red)

Thanks again, I'll give it a try.
