Sort Forumdisplay by First Post Date · **Released**: 11-29-2009

This just allows users to sort by First Post Date via a new clickable link in the table head next to Thread Starter.

Version History:
1.0 2009-11-30: initial release by Lynne at vbulletin.org

To install:

1. Import product-lynne_sort_dateline.xml

2. If you are using Andreas' Template Modification System, then the template edits to the FORUMDISPLAY template should import and install when you install this product. If you aren't using TMS, then you will have to make the template modification yourself via the following instructions.

Open the FORUMDISPLAY template and find the following line:

HTML Code:

<a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw foruminfo}, {vb:raw pageinfo_postusername}}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase thread_starter}{vb:raw sortarrow.postusername}</a>

Add below:

HTML Code:

/ <a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw foruminfo}, {vb:raw pageinfo_dateline}}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase first_post_date}{vb:raw sortarrow.dateline}</a></span>

This is an image of what you will end up with. However, currently the code to show the first post date is not in the forumdisplay.php page. It's supposed to be there (hover over the Posted by xxxx under the title), so hopefully it shows up soon.

To uninstall:

1. Uninstall "Forumdisplay - Sort by First Post Date"

2. If you had to do the template edit above manually, then you will need to undo it.

Until they fix the issue with the first post date not showing on hover, you can add a plugin using the threadbit_display hook location with the following code:

PHP Code:


			
$thread['fdate'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $thread['dateline']);
$thread['ftime'] = vbdate($vbulletin->options['timeformat'], $thread['dateline']);

$thread['postdate'] = $thread['fdate'] .' '. $thread['ftime'];

"4.0.0 RC1" ? I thought it was still in Beta.

Nice mod though

This Mod's version, not VBB version (maybe)

Lynne · #4 11-30-2009, 06:59 PM

Whoops, I left the version at the default. It looks like they are getting ahead of themselves in the versions there!

I tried this on 3 and it took my forum down. I didn't realize it was 4 only! oops...

does anybody know of a version for 3.8x? I plan on upgrading to 4, so I fear I'll just have to wait

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