Show Listing Dates

[VSDan]

This mod will allow you to show [Added Date] and/or [Last Modified Date] for listings:

At the top of templates/link.tpl, add the following:

{assign var="date_added" value=$link.DATE_ADDED}
{assign var="date_modified" value=$link.DATE_MODIFIED}
[php]
$parts	= preg_split("/ /", $this->get_template_vars('date_added'));
$parts	= preg_split("/-/", $parts[0]);
$this->assign('date_added', date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, $parts[1], $parts[2], $parts[0])));
$parts	= preg_split("/ /", $this->get_template_vars('date_modified'));
$parts	= preg_split("/-/", $parts[0]);
$this->assign('date_modified', date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, $parts[1], $parts[2], $parts[0])));
{/php}

[Added Date] can be called in the template using {$date_added}
[Last Modified Date] can be called in the template using {$date_modified}

I think [php] should read {PHP} instead.

VSDan are you using Windows? I need something like this instead:

{assign var="date_added" value=$link.DATE_ADDED} 
{assign var="date_modified" value=$link.DATE_MODIFIED} 
[php] 
   list($year,$month,$day,$hour,$minute,$seconds) = sscanf($this->get_template_vars('date_added'),'%4s%2s%2s%2s%2s%2s');
   $this->assign('date_modified', date('Y-m-d', mktime($hour,$minute,$seconds,$month,$day,$year)));
{/php}

Good eye, thanks for the correction!

I thought about adding time, but decided to stick with just date. Hmm, was not aware of the 'sscanf' PHP function. Much better =) Thanks! I'm more of a CGI programmer (date functions are more limited in CGI-Perl - although external modules open the doors more).

Hey guys why not just use the smarty date_format? It would save you from having to do all that coding to format the date.
http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/lang...ate.format.php

{$link.DATE_ADDED|date_format:"%A, %B %e, %Y"}

Thanks Eric,

I just tried adding the code you suggested to my site and it works great.

Cheers

I thought the same thing suzkaw, also using {php} tags in a template are frowned upon

behind the links of each category.

Hi,

You can add that code into link.tpl wherever you want it to appear.

For example, if you want the date to appear on a new line below the link description and have the words "Date Added:" or "Added:" before the date, you would do this..

Find..

{$link.DESCRIPTION}</p>

Change it to..

{$link.DESCRIPTION}
Added: {$link.DATE_ADDED|date_format:"%A, %B %e, %Y"}</p>

Hope that helps.

[thompson]

thanks it works.

but the date format is english ( Monday, November 28, 2005 )

in german there is Montag 28. November 2005 better 28.11.2005

can you change this ?

[Ap0s7le]

Try this

{$link.DATE_ADDED|date_format:"%d.%m.%Y"}

-Casey

[thompson]

thanks casey, it works.

[Ap0s7le]

That's great thompson.

Best of luck

-Casey

Hello,

i have found this directory last night, and it is wonderfull.

You must add the follwing in your details.php

Find this:
$data['RATE_ENABLED'] = $rdata['RATE_ENABLED'];

After it in a new line add this:
$data['DATE_ADDED'] = $rdata['DATE_ADDED'];



Add this where you will lokk the date:
{$DATE_ADDED|date_format:"%d.%m.%Y"}</td>


That is all. The date is in german style

For english date use this line:
{$DATE_ADDED|date_format:"%A, %B %e, %Y"}

Have a lot of fun :wink:

Thanks for the Mod. This has lead to a lot of changes for my site. I used this to add a NEW icon to listings that have been added in the last 14 days.

Thanks!
