Add time date under the latest thread link on each board

[Former Member]

I thought some might find this useful
It's not often I look to the right of the board when viewing the latest threads
To show the time and date under the latest thread link on the board
I found this much easier to see the time/date the thread was posted on
Or the time the last post was made to that thread
By showing the time/date under the latest thread link on the board

Showing date time the thread was posted on - Or the time/date of the last reply a thread received.

Add the time and date
Of the "LAST POST" posted on a thread!
Under the latest thread link on each board

View Screenshot



Go admin > Layout Templates > Thread List

Look for this line

<span class="link target">$[thread]</span>

And on the same line

Add

<br>$[thread.last_post.created_on]


So it will look like this

<span class="link target">$[thread]</span><br>$[thread.last_post.created_on]

Good stuff.

Can this be made to work retroactively.

Threads were already created, and they "10 hours ago", but I am looking to go back and get the time stamp.

Thanks

If a thread was posted say: June 2012 if your forum/boards that old
it should show the time and date that thread was posted under the thread title

You know I had to look up what retroactively was LOL


Hehehe

Thanks, the post were created just last night. So based on your answer, at some point, maybe 12 hours, 24 hours, it will change to the actual time.

Do you happen to know that length of time?

Thanks again

I think it's after 24 hours - then it will say yesterday - after that it shows date & time

@xsteveuk - I just want to say that I've probably only ever used your templates on my forum. You've been so incredibly helpful for me so thank you very much ^.^
