MyBB Community Forums

Hello!

I am trying to display thread creation date and time next to author's name in the thread list. I followed another question/answer thread from a few years ago and it almost works...it's show the author's name and time of creation, but not the date.

This is the edited code in forumdisplay.php:

{
eval("\$threads .= \"".$templates->get("forumdisplay_sticky_sep")."\";");
$shownormalsep = true;
$donestickysep = true;
}
else if($thread['sticky'] == 0 && !empty($shownormalsep))
$threaddate = my_date($mybb->settings['dateformat'], $thread['dateline']);
        $threadtime = my_date($mybb->settings['timeformat'], $thread['dateline']);
{
eval("\$threads .= \"".$templates->get("forumdisplay_threads_sep")."\";");
$shownormalsep = false;
}


And the edited code in forumdisplay_thread template:

<div><if $thread['privatethread'] then><img src="/images/incognito3.png" /></if><if $thread['closed'] then><img src="/images/lockfinale.png" /></if>
          <span>{$prefix} {$gotounread}{$thread['threadprefix']}<span class="{$inline_edit_class} {$new_class}" id="tid_{$inline_edit_tid}"><a href="{$thread['threadlink']}">{$thread['subject']}</a></span>{$thread['multipage']}</span>
<div class="smalltext"> Created on: {$threaddate} at {$threadtime} by <em>{$thread['profilelink']}</em> </div>
</div>


Any suggestion on what to look at to make the date display also?

Thank you!

I think you have placed your modification in a wrong place. The variable declarations are under wrong condition, that too out of condition braces.

Add your 2 new variables declaration above this line (around line 1338):
$plugins->run_hooks("forumdisplay_thread_end");

Make sure you are doing the right modification at right place.
Check your template also, you need to modify your template which belongs to your currently applied theme.

I have just done your modification along with my suggested change, and the result is:

You are a rock star! I still had the code in the wrong spot. Works perfectly when I pay attention lol.

Thank you very much!
