Alternate Last Post Display
By: Idan B.

1. Description & Usage:
Alternate Last Post hack will allow the forum admin to make the "Last Post" column on forum look different (have another/better layout):
Hack will make it with user avatar picture & instead of showing post date, it will show "time diff" since the post (for example: 4 Hours, 5 Minutes ago") - See pictures in attachment for better understanding. :up:
This Hack can be enabled on both Forum Home & forum Display or Forum Display Only.

2. Installation:
Please click Install Modification.
Installation is pretty easy - just download & install:
  • Extract zip to have xml & gif file.
  • Goto: AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products : Choose "Add/Import Product" and import this product xml (product-alt_last_post.xml)
  • Upload the "anonymous_avatar.gif" file (the one you just saved) onto /images/avatars/ directory.
3. Upgrade From Older Version:
1. uninstall previous version
2. Download new version xml & install as instructed in previous section.

4. Configuration:
Once installed, the "Vbulletin Options" under admincp will have extra section:
Section name: "Alternate Last Post Display"
  • Enabled ? - Yes/No (default YES)
  • Enable on Forum Home ? - Yes/No (default NO)
  • Enable on Forum Display ? - Yes/No (default YES)
  • Use "Last Post" text as title ? - Yes/No (default YES)
  • Show differential time ? - Yes/No (default YES)
  • Align "Never" to LEFT ? - Yes/No (default YES)
  • Use profile picture instead of avatar ? - Yes/No (default NO)
  • Picture width - INT (default: 40)
  • Picture height - INT (default: 40)
5. Known Bugs:
- v.1.1.0 should fix the non-english language bugs & it should be now support ANY language !!
- Cyrillic & Latin chars reported to have some issues.
- There is possible conflict with other mods that modify Last Post templates (such as "Tabbed Forum Home")
- Other bugs are being investigated.

6. TO-DO's LIST (Next Versions):
- No other ideas atm - if you got any that would make this great hack - please feel free to share

Enjoy hack & dont forget to click Install Modification

Note: due to alot of bugs reports, this is marked as BETA & WIP modification !

12 Jun 2009 (19:20) - Version 1.1.4 released :
  • FEATURE ADD: The template used for this mod no longer resides inside plugin code. Now it's installed as new template, so everyone can edit for their own needs.
  • FEATURE ADD: New admincp option: set width/height of picture shown
  • FEATURE ADD: New admincp option: allow selection between avatar and profile picture
  • FEATURE ADD: Now mod supports date format string with "j" & "S" chars.

06 Jun 2009 (20:25) - Version 1.1.3 released :
  • BUG FIX: Fixed regexp again to support more non-english chars on date.
  • VISUAL FIX: avatar picture now set to 40x40, so any non square pictures wont look "ugly" on display.
  • ADMINCP OPTION REMOVED: vbSEO admincp option removed - now works automatically inside code, doesnt need to select it
  • ADMINCP OPTION ADDED: select time display : differential (xxx ago) or orignal date & time as configured for vbulletin
  • ADMINCP OPTION ADDED: select "align to left" for the "Never" (if forum has no posts

05 Jun 2009 (21:08) - Version 1.1.2 released :
  • BUG-FIX: Fixed regexp to better support non-english chars on date
  • FEATURE-REMOVED: "D" letter on date time format not supported. I was mistaken at first to think i could. Having date showing as "Sunday" rather than number of day (1..31) doesnt allow me to take that & gnerate exact date from it. Therefore, this letter has been removed & no longer supported!

05 Jun 2009 (19:35) - Version 1.1.1 released :
  • BUG-FIX: Add code that handle case where last post showing poster nick of user that doesnt exsits anymore inside db (eg. deleted). In the above case, the profile link will be showing as "User Was Deleted From DB"
  • BUG-FIX: changed name of vars used in templates to have known prefix, should avoid any chance of conflict with some other mod.

05 Jun 2009 (13:15) - Version 1.1.0 released :
  • Code was re-written. Now mod support any language.
  • New admincp options for both vbSEO & the text used for thread title.

30 May 2009 (13:15) - Version 1.0.3 released :
  • BUG-FIX: now supporting any date / time string that user configured into admincp. Note the following chars are supported: "d","m","n","D","F","M","Y","y","h","H","g","G","i ","s","a","A"
  • BUG-FIX: nicks now support space (also vbSEO fix that convert space to +)
  • FEATURE-ADD: Yesterday/Today & by now used as part of vbphrase & not hard-coded into plugin code.
  • BUG FIX: avoid any case of negative time in some condition.
  • VISUAL-FIX: added LEFT align inside Last Post column, so it will look much better.
  • Note: till any official announcement, this modification does not support any non-english boards (date locale will not be matched so likely to show Post Time N/A). I'm still trying to find workaround that will support any language & not attempt to patch code to be language specific.

29 May 2009 (18:33) - Version 1.0.2 released :
  • BUG-FIX: all mktime() added precondition to determine the nature of vars passed to it, to avoid input it with NULL. Should time variable(s) be missing, the hack will display "Post Time N/A" (phrase named: alt_lp_post_time_na);
  • vbSEO should now be fully fixed to show links correclty & according to vbSEO way. Eventually, no admincp were added, this was auto detected inside code.
  • BUG-FIX: some more extra checking were added to avoid some other coding pitfalls.

29 May 2009 (16:46) - Version 1.0.1 released :
  • BUG-FIX (*): did not read thread link correctly with vbSEO installed. This should be fixed & working - please report any further problems. (*) Note this still display links using showthread.php & member.php . Further support to vbSEO will be available on v.1.1.0 due to be released by tonight/tomorrow.
  • BUG-FIX: The table missing NOWRAP tag, so if skin doesnt set minimum width to "Last Post" column, it will looked bit streched.
  • BUG-FIX: Global plugin enable/disable option on admincp didnt work properly
  • BUG-DIX: date that was showing as "Yesterday" / "Today" was not properly handled by code. now fixed.
  • FEATURE-ADD: All text were created as phrases, allowing easy translation without need to go into code:
    phrases added are:
    alt_lp_last_post
    alt_lp_by
    alt_lp_years
    alt_lp_year
    alt_lp_weeks
    alt_lp_week
    alt_lp_days
    alt_lp_day
    alt_lp_hours
    alt_lp_hour
    alt_lp_min
    alt_lp_mins
    alt_lp_sec
    alt_lp_secs
    alt_lp_ago
