The time after today/yesterday includes 'seconds', i.e. 15:30:11. How could you trim the seconds to show only hours and minutes, as well as set the time to AM or PM? Like so, 03:30 PM.

It also doesn't seem to take this setting into consideration:

$timeDiff=7200;

For supressing the time output, you need just to cut off the $ttime variable from the final output. Like:

if($wp!='') $GLOBALS['lastPostDate']=$wp;

I have modified the code above, so it should consider $timeDiff now, but I've not tested it and not sure it works. Your thank is to report me this :-)

Unfortunatelly, I am always being weak at AM/PM and messing them up, so I'd better avoid providing a solution on how to convert this.

Hi Paul...the timediff is now taken into account. Thanks for that!

Unfortunately, suppressing $ttime variable gets rid off the hours and minutes as well, which I'd like to keep. Since regular miniBB timestamps show 'h:m' instead of 'h:m:s', it would be more consistent.

Don't worry if too much trouble, I just liked this idea, but wanted it to blend correctly with existing timestamps.

I thought it might have been as easy as an extra setting in setup like:

$dateFormat='m-j-Y h:i A';

I don't know how $ttime can be adjusted that way, or even if possible.

kind regards,
Marius

I think you just need to take first 5 symbols of $ttime.

if($wp!='') $GLOBALS['lastPostDate']=$wp.' '.substr($ttime, 0, 5);

Thanks!

bb_plugins.php:

/* displaying "Today/Yesterday" for available dates */
function parseTopic(){........

when i put this code in bb_plugins php i get this message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare parsetopic() (previously declared in /home/xxx/public_html/forum/bb_plugins.php:87) in /home/xxx/public_html/forum/bb_plugins.php on line 193

You cannot declare parsetopic() function twice - you need to put the code somewhere right below line 87.

thanks!
now is everything o.k. but the today's date is still displaying (28.12.) in the last post

When I used this addon I believe it worked OK...

i used this addon as well and it worked o.k., but i installed a new minibb forum and now it doesn't work

What do you mean by i installed a new minibb forum? This function should absolutely work with any version of miniBB. Try to investigate your mistake or hire us to fix it.

I solved this like that:

In bb_functions.php, I added one line (the middle one):

To setup_options.php I added:

And to my language file I added:

I think this is a neat way how to solve the issue - any comments?

R.U.R.
It's nice solution - as soon as you supply only day, month and a year in your date format. What if I supply hours, minutes?.. It won't work.

To quote myself:
which I use in the function.

It is true that the requirements are, that $dateOnlyFormat is a substring of $dateFormat and that it is a unique definition of date (containg day, month and year in any order and format).

The first requirement can be fulfilled easily by modifying setup_options.php somehow like that:

The second requirement would have to be stated explicitely, because eg. if the user set a format without the year part (like $dateOnlyFormat='j/n';)
it would lead to exactly-one-year-old posts (and exactly-two-years-old posts etc.) being marked as "today"...

R.U.R.: I have re-checked everything above and I think your suggestion is very nice yet simple. Maybe it will be worth to include it in the next miniBB release as well (as an option). I'll think about it, thank you!
