Thread Time Variables

[ShadowTech]

I have tried searching this forum for the answer.. but have come up empty.. so I am sorry if this has already been asked.

I am trying to get the date and time to show under the "Thread Starter" column in the threads listing.. but I cannot figure out the right variable to display the thread creation date and the creation time. Would this be pulled from the original post in the thread or what?

I have tried looking thru all the vB templates and cannot seem to find anything like $thread[postdate] $thread[posttime] .. I hope someone understands what I am trying to do and can help me.

Thanks.

I'd like to know this too.

In forumdisplay.php add this code:

PHP Code:

      $thread[startdate]=vbdate($dateformat,$thread[dateline]);
      $thread[starttime]=vbdate($timeformat,$thread[dateline]); 


right before

PHP Code:

      $thread[lastreplydate]=vbdate($dateformat,$thread[lastpost]);
      $thread[lastreplytime]=vbdate($timeformat,$thread[lastpost]); 


Now you should be able to use $thread[startdate] and $thread[starttime] in the templates.

There are two instances of the code you said to find. Add before both instances?

[fury]

Nevermind, I added it before both instances and it works great

Thanks

Sorry about that. One is for the open threads, and the second is for the closed.

Could you show me which template and where to place the code?

[Admin]

In the forumdisplaybit template, or any of the templates used inside it.

hate to bring this back up.. but this doesn't appear to work on 2.2.4 .. what would need changed in order for it to work on the new build?

I tried all but cannot make it. I have 3.60. I found in the forumdisplay.php not this code mentioned above. Maybe any other File is needed to be edited with 3.60? Any Help would be much appreciated!
