Really simple question: Thread Start Date?

[Nick R]

How do i find out the start date of the thread?

ie. What code do i have to add to my template to put 'Today, 09:54 AM'

[Arnoud]

I think it's this:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

If that doesn't work I guess you'll have to use a plugin for that.

[Nick R]

ok thanks it's for a mod in the threadbit....

nope doesn't show a thing just a blank space....

[Nick R]

and ideas for a plugin?

[Arnoud]

You could try to play around with the $thread array a little. Try things like $thread[dateline], $thread[startdate], $thread[postdate], etc.

[Nick R]

not very prstical but i'll give it ago :p it's stored in the table 'thread' and the column ' dateline' so do you know which file would contain the array data i need because then you can just look it up

[Arnoud]

I've just looked through it, and I can't seem to find it.

[Nick R]

it must be there somewhere.... can you write a query for it seeing as my average page load time is 0.00015 seconds :p i think it will live with another query

EDIT:I found

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

does that mean it could be $thread[dateline] ?

or what about:
instead of:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

this:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

2nd edit the latter didn't work....

The dateline is an unformatted number which holds both the time and the date. Find a piece of code where the thread dateline is called, and add this bellow it:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

You might need to change the thread part in the $thread['dateline'] variable, depending on how the dateline is called.

[Nick R]

ok i'll try that... :S

The thing is it's actually in:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

i have also found:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

should i add it somewhere in there?

what shall i add in the template:
$thread[startdate] and $thread[starttime]??
