Post date in Email to moderator

[tkeil69575]

Hi
Id like the date and time of a new posting to be displayed in the email thats sent to the admin or moderator when a new posting is made.

What Variables to I need to use?

Ok, in both newthread.php and newreply.php, find this code:

      // send email to moderators
      if ($enableemail) {

and right below it, add this:

        $emailposttime=vbdate($timeformat,time());
        $emailpostdate=vbdate($dateformat,time());

Now you can use $emailposttime (to show the time) and $emailpostdate (to show the date) in the email_moderator template.

Hi Chen,

me again I thought I'd try and figure this one out for myself, but I'm not getting anywhere. I'd like to have the variable time and date also for the notify_email template and I figured out that I must make changes to the functions.php ? right?

But I'm not sure what and where to include it?
Maybe you could help me again?

regards

Sure.

In functions.php, find this:

  if (!$enableemail) {
    return;
  }

and right below it add this:

  $emailposttime=vbdate($timeformat,time());
  $emailpostdate=vbdate($dateformat,time());

Now you can use $emailposttime (to show the time) and $emailpostdate (to show the date) in the email_notify template.

Hi Chen,
Yes, I tried that already and unfortunately it didn't work. Here's how my code looks:

PHP Code:

// ############## Send out email notification ############
function sendnotification ($threadid, $userid, $postid) {
  // $threadid = threadid to send from;
  // $userid = userid of who made the post
  // $postid = only sent if post is moderated -- 
                      used to get username correctly

  global $DB_site, $enableemail, $message, $bbtitle,
 $webmasteremail, $bburl, $postusername, $bbuserinfo;

  if (!$enableemail) {
      return;
  }
  $emailposttime=vbdate($timeformat,time());
  $emailpostdate=vbdate($dateformat,time());
  $threadinfo = getthreadinfo($threadid);
  $foruminfo = getforuminfo($threadinfo[forumid]); 


I'm getting the email, but no date an time is show in it. Any ideas?

greetings Tina
