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'

Boofo does this mod work ok with version 4.1.3?

[Boofo]

Have you tried it?

[Mikevet1984]

Yes and only the first option is working....

If I change it for the date to be shown after <Started by ....> the mod is not working.

[Boofo]

It is working fine for me on 4.1.3. I am using the default style. Is yours a custom style?

[Mikevet1984]

Yes, it is a style from completevb.com

[Boofo]

Well, there you go. Apparently, the replacement code has been changed in that style. If it worked before, then it should work now. I would get a hold of the style maker and have them fix it.

Great mod.

It seems that the thread age is wrongly calculated on vB4.1.3.

It seems it is one day ahead.

Yesterdays post shows as today etc...

Any idea?

I use custom theme if that matters.

It's based on a rolling 24 hours. Just change the phrase "Today" to "New" and that will fix your problem.

Thanks
