What is the code for Dateline

[dizzynation]

I am trying to figure out what code calls the Dateline

{vb: dateline} ?

Trying to add a url string but I need to add the dateline in as well.

Thanks in advance!

It depends on the template and whether or not it has been defined and registered for use in that template or not. If not, then you would need to write a plugin to define/pre-register it.

Thanks Lynne,

Just as an example,

<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw userid}}"><img src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/image.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}u={vb:raw userid}&amp;type=profile" alt="" class="post_avatar" /></a>

I would assume it is this, right where the amp is - but doesnt that stand for "&" I am currently testing my mod on a registered template.

You do want to escape the ampersand in the URL by using &amp;

Since I am using the memberaction_dropdown which is registered, is there a code for dateline?

[Lynne]

I very much doubt it is even defined to be used in that template. And what dateline are you looking for - the dateline of the post? The dateline for the current time on the server? The dateline for the current time the user is seeing?

Dateline for profile picutres/avatars -

I think once I register it then all will be good.

I want my custom memberaction_dropdown to show only on articles / blogs - Lynne, could you point out which php files I would need to register them on?

You need to create a plugin to do it. Cellarius wrote a really good article that you may be interested in - [vB4] Rendering templates and registering variables - a short guide
