Yesterday/Today/Tomorrow Mod

[John R]

Somewhere, in an earlier post, possibly on a different board, I saw mention of an inspired Mod.  The optomistic user wanted a Yesterday/Today/Tomorrow Mod.  I wish I could offer all that was requested but alas, my coding skills are just not that good.  Since the Today part was included with the updated source, the job was 1/3 complete.  Now, with a little help from Jeff, here's part 2 - Yesterday

In English.lng you need to find

Code Select Expand

$txt['yse10'] = "<b>Today</b> at ";
after it you need to add this line

Code Select Expand

$txt['yse10b'] = "<b>Yesterday</b> at ";

In subs.php you need to find

Code Select Expand

function timeformat ($logTime){
   global $timeformatstring,$username,$settings,$timeoffset,$txt,$db_prefix,$locale;
   if (!isset($GLOBALS['todayMod']))
   {
      // pre-load variable so we don't query too much
      $req = mysql_query("SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}settings WHERE variable='todayMod'");
      list($GLOBALS['todayMod'])=mysql_fetch_row($req);
   }
   $time = isset($settings[18])?$settings[18]:0;
   $time = ($timeoffset+$time)*3600;
   $nowtime = $time+time();
   $time += $logTime;
   if ($GLOBALS['todayMod']=='1')
   {
      $t1 = getdate($time);
      $t2 = getdate($nowtime);
      if ($t1['yday']==$t2['yday'] && $t1['year']==$t2['year'])
         return $txt['yse10'].date(" h:i:sa",$time);
   }
   setlocale(LC_TIME, $locale);
   if ($username == 'Guest' || $settings[17]=='')
      return strftime ($timeformatstring,$time);
   return strftime (stripslashes($settings[17]),$time);
}and replace it with this

Code Select Expand

function timeformat ($logTime){
   global $timeformatstring,$username,$settings,$timeoffset,$txt,$db_prefix,$locale;
   if (!isset($GLOBALS['todayMod']))
   {
      // pre-load variable so we don't query too much
      $req = mysql_query("SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}settings WHERE variable='todayMod'");
      list($GLOBALS['todayMod'])=mysql_fetch_row($req);
   }
   $time = isset($settings[18])?$settings[18]:0;
   $time = ($timeoffset+$time)*3600;
   $nowtime = $time+time();
   $time += $logTime;
   if ($GLOBALS['todayMod']=='1')
   {
      $t1 = getdate($time);
      $t2 = getdate($nowtime);
      if ($t1['yday']==$t2['yday'] && $t1['year']==$t2['year'])
         return $txt['yse10'].date(" h:i:sa",$time);
      if ($t1['yday']==($t2['yday']-1) && $t1['year']==$t2['year'])
         return $txt['yse10b'].date(" h:i:sa",$time);
   }
   setlocale(LC_TIME, $locale);
   if ($username == 'Guest' || $settings[17]=='')
      return strftime ($timeformatstring,$time);
   return strftime (stripslashes($settings[17]),$time);
}
Now when a user views a board index, any post that was written Yesterday will be displayed with the date as Yesterday instead of the date, just like the Today Mod.  * NOTE * You do have to have the Today Mod enabled as the Yesterday feature works in conjunction with the Today feature.

So, that optomistic users request is now 2/3 complete but it will take a much better coder than myself to come up with the code for the final part of the request - the Tomorrow part.

making backup..............

copy-paste.......................

fingers crossed.......testing...........

no........

Didn't work........

It shows just the date, and not "Yesterday"...........

[John R]

Obviously, it's something that you did wrong.

..........copy-paste...........

......test.........

......hit myself on the head with my keyboard........!

It works

Question:

I can't find that string in subs.php

I have this:


function timeformat ($logTime){
   global $timeformatstring,$username,$settings,$timeoffset,$txt,$db_prefix;
   if (!isset($GLOBALS['todayMod']))
   {
      // pre-load variable so we don't query too much
      $req = mysql_query("SELECT value FROM {$db_prefix}settings WHERE variable='todayMod'");
      list($GLOBALS['todayMod'])=mysql_fetch_row($req);
   }
   $time = isset($settings[18])?$settings[18]:0;
   $time = ($timeoffset+$time)*3600;
   $nowtime = $time+time();
   $time += $logTime;
   if ($GLOBALS['todayMod']=='1')
   {
      $t1 = getdate($time);
      $t2 = getdate($nowtime);
      if ($t1['yday']==$t2['yday'] && $t1['year']==$t2['year'])
         return $txt['yse10'].date(" h:i:sa",$time);
   }
   if ($username == 'Guest' || $settings[17]=='')
      return date($timeformatstring,$time);
   return date($settings[17],$time);
}



I run 1.0.0 , could I get it too work on my board?

Probably you can just add

Code Select Expand

if ($t1['yday']==($t2['yday']-1) && $t1['year']==$t2['year'])
         return $txt['yse10b'].date(" h:i:sa",$time);

after

Code Select Expand

if ($t1['yday']==$t2['yday'] && $t1['year']==$t2['year'])
         return $txt['yse10'].date(" h:i:sa",$time);

It seems it'll work.

Hehe I'd love to talk to the person that does the tomorrow mod  Going to be hard to mark tomorrow on posts that haven't happened yet

after you install yesterday mod, install this, and you've got a really usefull tomorrow mod

[Jeff Lewis]

Tomorrow mod?  Does this seem to strange to only me?

"This posted was posted tomorrow".

[Markie]

Probably you can just add

Code Select Expand

if ($t1['yday']==($t2['yday']-1) && $t1['year']==$t2['year'])
         return $txt['yse10b'].date(" h:i:sa",$time);

after

Code Select Expand

if ($t1['yday']==$t2['yday'] && $t1['year']==$t2['year'])
         return $txt['yse10'].date(" h:i:sa",$time);

It seems it'll work.

hey thnx!

but now my normal time format's show up as F jS, Y, h:i:s a
with what should I replace that in the admin?

[£eo]

Does this seem to strange to only me?

no,  i feel a little strange to me to  


and the yesterday mod also,,   it made all my posts to "todays" posts    

[Markie]

ok update i've been trying and this is what I get:
when I play with time setting codes:

%D = %Wed @ the top of the board
D = Wed @ the top of the board

%D = Wed @ the top of the board
D= D next to a topic

get it???
 

[Q-Magz]

Tomorrow mod?  Does this seem to strange to only me?

"This posted was posted tomorrow".
