XF 1.2 Post Time Stamps

[LuvMeSumZen]

Currently the time stamps, edit/delete/IP/report/ are at the bottom of everyone's post. I would like them to the top the top, and move the reply/like links over to where the edit/delete/IP/report/ currently are.

Is this . . . . involved?

Its a matter of editing a template. I know I posted something about this, I'll see if I can find it again.

In the template thread_view find:

        <xen:foreach loop="$posts" value="$post">

After that, you can place any HTML you want, want to get the post date, use the following:

                    <a href="{xen:link threads/post-permalink, $thread, 'post={$post}'}" title="{xen:phrase permalink}" class="datePermalink"><xen:datetime time="$post.post_date" /></a>

Would that be the actual code I would need in order to place it at the top? Looking at the code I cannot see anything that places it anywhere in particular.

 

[Jeremy]

Did you follow the instructions?

 

[LuvMeSumZen]

I cannot see any instructions per se except you telling the OP how to get the post date. I already have that, I just want to move it from the bottom to the top. And then I want to move the post#/Like/Reply links to the bottom left where the time stamp etc. is now.

 

[LuvMeSumZen]

Anyone?

In addition to moving the posts timestamp etc I'd also like to have the current time displayed on every page at the bottom. How can I do that?

You will need an add-on.

 

[LuvMeSumZen]

You will need an add-on.

For the post date, the current date, or both?

 

[Amaury]

For the post date, the current date, or both?

You will need an add-on to display the time on the bottom of every page (like on vBulletin).

 

[Jeremy]

An add-on isn't the answer to everything. Place it into any template you want:

{xen:datetime $serverTime, 'absolute'}

Huh. If it's that easy, why isn't there by default?

 

[Jeremy]

Just because its easy doesn't mean it needs to be added.

 

[Paul B]

Why do you need the time displayed at the bottom of each page by default?

 

[Adam Howard]

No you do not need an add-on to have this done.

Nobody said it did.

I can read Mr. Howard. He was talking about the "current time" being displayed at the bottom of every page, to which Jeremy replied a resounding "No".

The image you showed, is the answer to the OP's original question, which again, was answered with "template edit". Nothing about needing an add-on.

 

[Jeremy]

Stop the bickering and let it be.

 

[Sheldon]

I don't see any bickering myself. Just clarification to avoid confusion. There was no heated discussion or anything. Sheesh.

Who said anything about a need? "Wants" are okay too aren't they? It's what drove XF into existence. No one *needs* Xenforo, but many of us want it. The same with current time. Many of my members have requested it but even if they hadn't, I want it.

I will try Jeremy's edit in various templates and see if that's all the info I need to implement it.
