Membership date

[rick341]

Is there currently or can a plug in be made that shows membership/forum joining dates?  It would be informative to be able to see how long each person has been a member of a forum.

I believe $[user.registered_on] is the variable you're looking for, in the User Profile and Mini Profile templates.

Hi elli

That variable should already be in place on the User Profile of the plain vanilla ProBoards theme and most themes that aren't extensively modified.

It outputs the date and time of registration, so it tends to be a bit long to add to a mini-profile.
Better choices might be:
$[user.registered_on_date]registration date without the time.
or
$[user.registered_on_short]registration month and year.

Yes, I'm very familiar with the variables and when/where they appear... It doesn't sound like this user is, though, so my post is meant to either provide the information they're looking for, or open up a discussion into what they are looking for. In any case, the first half of your post that addresses me is not helpful. If you have something to add, the two other variables you provided are good, or you could wait for the OP to respond with more information.

You can also, on a vanilla or non-extensive modified theme, just go to the Members Page - registration dates are listed there. You can also click the column header for the Registration Date to sort and reverse sort. If that column is not on the theme you are using, you can create a new, vanilla theme - then go to Admin -> Themes -> Layout Templates -> Members -> Member List (tab) and look at Line #8 (vanilla theme) for the code line to add in. It will look like this:


<td class="date-registered">$[user.registered_on]</td>


Since you did not explicitly state where you wanted this to show, I thought I would add this in as well.
