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

Hey everybody,

I posted a couple of weeks ago that I would post an upgrade that would fix some of the minor unintended side effects of this hack. For example, the last-edited-by tagline can say "Last updated on Today at 8:32 PM." There are only a few places where this is an issue, but I am about to fix them. I now have the time to do it.

I will post a document with fixes later tonight.

Woohoo! I have been anxiously (but patiently) awaiting this for some time now.

This is the only hack I use on my board.

Thanks a lot for working on it!

The bug has been fixed, and the new release can be downloaded in the first post of this thread.

Enjoy!

Thank you for that. Actually, I wrote a similar (unpublished) hack for UBB, and always wanted it on vBulletin but didn't have the patience to add it.

NYI Fan · #36 02-21-2002, 09:25 PM

works great - thanks!

I've got to ask the mods here (and what better place to do it than in this thread) --

Is that my hack you're using on this forum?? If so,

!

Looks like this is your hack. I was sure when I saw "by FireFly on Today 02:03 AM"

Lucky · #39 02-26-2002, 06:12 AM

Works just fine.

Thank you.

Lucky · #40 02-26-2002, 06:15 AM

Any chance of getting this hack to work for all instances, such as You last visited: 02-26-2002 12:43 AM.
To: You last visited: Today 12:43 AM.

Works perfectly on my board. Thanks very much!

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