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

1 thing I have noticed is "edited by" messages in the post bit alaso use this time format, and by default it creates a gramatical error:

See what I mean?

I've noticed this issue, and I'm currently working on an upgrade to fix this, so that the replacement is more context-sensitive.

Some of my users like it, some don't. Can this be an option in their user cp?

I, too, am looking forward to a fix for this. The same thing is happening in "Who's Online"'s most-users count.

Other than that, it's a BRILLIANT hack.

Easy - thanks!

Just to keep you updated, this weekend, I'm going to work on a fix for the issues mentioned above. Specifically, I'll be fixing the problem that causes grammatical errors on some pages.

So if anyone's interested, check back on Monday for a fix!

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