Forum Display Enhancements - Thread Age Insert for vB 4

Thread Age Insert for vB 4
Version 1.0.2
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will calculate the age of a thread, in days, and insert it after the thread title or start date in the listing.

Examples:
---------------------------
In forumdisplay:
Testing days old after thread title ? Today <=This will display in bold text
Testing bbcode ? 1 day old
Testing something... ? 16 days old

In showthread:
Thread: Testing days old after thread title ? 12 days old

Credits:
Thanks goes out to Adrian for showing me a new way to do template edits and style variables in products.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --Code optimized and days calculation rewritten to avoid any future gregoriantojd errors with certain installations. Added location setting where the thread age can be added either after the thread title or after the start date line. Added a font color setting and removed the span class highlight code.
Version 1.0.2 --Removed font color setting and added Style Variable setting for the Thread Age Insert Font Color, so it can be set for each style separately. Added the Thread Age in the showthread at the top after the thread title, if you are using the "After thread title" option.

Installation Overview:
---------------------------
1 Product XML (3 Plugins, 10 Phrases, 1 Setting, 1 Style Variable)

Installation Instructions:
---------------------------
1. Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugin System'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the product-boofo_threaddays.xml file on your computer

2. Go to your Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> 'Thread Age Insert' and set the following options:

3. Go to your Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> StyleVars (In the All Style Options drop-down) -> Threadbit -> boofo_threaddays_color

What do you mean it "should work on the others"? It works exactly as designed.

I just mean that if it works on the search results page then I should be able to get it to work on the "SHOWTHREAD" page. Just need to know what line it adds and/or where.

**Edit - Using the:

Admincp->Options->Thread Age Insert

I was able to get it to show after the thread start date, just not the title. This is what I was looking for anyway, so it works perfectly for me.

Thanks BooFo! You're mods are always GREAT! Keep up the good work, we all appreciate it!

You are using a custom skin, aren't you?

It shouldn't be showing on the showthread, anyway, as that is where the posts show. It is set to the templates that the thread titles show up in.

I don't understand what you mean by you "removed the thread start date".

[p@ndu]

[Boofo]

Not possible since you removed the start date as that is what it looks for on that line.

Great mod
Installed, rated and nominated.
Are you going to release an update that will change it from showing in days to (days, weeks, months, years)?

Not planning to at this point.

[Krusty1231]

This only calculates the age of the first post in a thread right?

Just making sure I am doing it right.
