How to add up join date info into album_pictureview template

[bartek24m]

hello i would like to add up a user join date info somewhere in album_pictureview template

i try to add up $userinfo[joindate] but insted date i can see some figures (1233566287)

i try in this way:
date('d-m-Y', $userinfo[joindate])

in the same template style but without any results :/

You need to use a plugin or file edit to add some php to take that date and put it into a useable format:

PHP Code:

$userinfo['date'] = vbdate($this->registry->options['dateformat'],$userinfo['joindate']);            
$userinfo['time'] = vbdate($this->registry->options['timeformat'], $userinfo['joindate']);
$userdateline = $userinfo['date'] .' '. $userinfo['time']; 


Something like that. You may be able to just use $vbulletin->options instead of $this->registry->options . It depends on where the plugin is hooked in.

i try to paste it into album.php file and i get error

so meybe you could show me how to step by step add to plugin this code

and the code which show me the userfield[field1]

I had a misspelling in my code. You need to place it after you have the joindate and before you spit out the template.

What does userfield[field1] have to do with this spitting out this code? You would just use $userdateline in the template.

i copied your code and try to find something in /album.php like

You need to place it after you have the joindate and before you spit out the template.

What php page are you trying to get this to show up on?

[bartek24m]

sorry i can't give it to public couse of seo optymalization mode until i finish the project i cant allow google to index my pages ... but i can send you on PM the adress of that page

[Lynne]

I don't want your website url, just the page name - ie showthread.php or member.php?do=whatever (be specific) so that I can look for a hook location.

[bartek24m]

album.php this is the location

/album.php?albumid=1

acually this is the url that i want to pase the

field1 and date registry

album.php?albumid=1&pictureid=4

[Lynne]

Just look in the album.php under the corresponding do heading and find a hook. You had said just album.php to me in a PM and if there is no do, it will normally default to do=overview and so I would use the hook location album_latest_complete. If there is an albumid or pictureid, then do defaults to album and picture, respectively, so that would be a different hook location. For those 'dos', you may want to try album_album_complete or album_picture_complete. Just look at the album.php page to find other hook locations to try for your plugin.
