Change Datestamp Display Option

[chriske]

Hi,

Currently is use Detailed settings to display the time & date with each post

'Detailed' will show times such as '1 Minute Ago', '1 Hour Ago', '1 Day Ago', and '1 Week Ago'.

This works good on almost every forum, but i have specific forums where users can keep an journal so they update their topic at a weekly basis. Some members are complaining about the Display of date but i don't want to change the setting to normal.

So my question is: Is it easy to make the date displayed as follows:

In addition to the detailed time display, also give a more specific time when the user hover over the post icon.

1 minute ago
(when hover over the icon: 13 Jun 2010, 06:50 )

This must not be so hard to accomplish. but how?

I know this is as old as the hills, but this is a great question! I would actually like to take it one step further. Was looking at xenforo and it does a great job of going from "x minutes ago for" anything under an hour to "Today at X:XXpm" for things over an hour and when you hover, the title text shows the full date and time. Anyone?!? Bueller?

What template are you referring to and I will take a quick look -- to save me a bit of time.

Sometimes what I think is the write template differs from the conversation and I end up wasting my time.

There are actually several I would like to apply this to, the three primary being:

forumhome_lastpostby
threadbit
postbit_legacy

The first two include a "last post by" section (in the forum list and thread list) and the postbit has a time stamp at the top of each post in a thread. I would love to change all of these to reflect the date stamp I described above.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
