Plugin Idea: Account Age On Forums

[rblxlite]

I dont think anyone has come up with this yet, but... maybe we should be able to see when a specific user joined on a forum post? AKA Their join date should be visible. Right now, my forum doesn't have that, and i cannot find a plugin like that anywhere. I hope that someone understands what I am saying: Display the join date of a user on a forum post.

You can do this very easily with a template modification, though if you have multiple themes you would need to make this change on each. Would that be of interest to you?

Hi rblxlite

I reckon it would be possible to accomplish that with a plugin but it would likely require the use of a (super) key. Perhaps Chris or Todge will see this and be able to confirm if this is true.

It seems more direct to make a small modification to the Mini-Profile layout template on your forum's theme(s), rather than use a plugin. If you'd like to try this, here's how. Below is the content of a Mini-Profile layout template from ProBoards stock theme with one line added (shown highlighted in pink).

SPOILER: Click to show

<div class="$[miniprofile_class]">
$[user]<br />
{if $[user.is_guest]}Guest<br />{/if}
{if $[user.is_deleted]}<em>Deleted Member</em><br />{/if}
{if $[user.group]}
$[user.group.name]<br />$[user.group.stars]<br />
{elseif $[user.rank]}
$[user.rank.name]<br />
{if $[user.rank.stars]}
$[user.rank.stars]<br />
{/if}
{/if}
{if $[user.custom_title]}$[user.custom_title]<br />{/if}
$[user.warning.bar]
<br />
{if $[user.avatar]}
<div class="avatar">$[user.avatar]</div><br />
{/if}
{if $[user.personal_text.message]}
$[user.personal_text]<br />
{/if}
{if $[user.is_member]}
<div class="info">
<div>Joined: $[user.registered_on_date]</div>
Posts: $[user.posts]{if $[user.gender]}<span class="float-right">$[user.gender.image]</span>{/if}
{foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}
<br /><span class="$[user.mini_custom_field.content_class]">$[user.mini_custom_field.name]: $[user.mini_custom_field.value]</span>
{/foreach}
{if $[user.is_online]}<br /><span class="italic">Member is Online</span>{/if}
</div><br />
{/if}
{if $[user.badges_miniprofile]}
<div class="$[user.badges_miniprofile_container_class]">
{foreach $[user.badges_miniprofile]}
$[user.badges_miniprofile.icon]
{/foreach}
</div>
{/if}
</div>

Thank you very much! It works!
