This Modification adds the date registered in the form 'Join Date' to each users reply in topic view.

It is displayed after the number of posts they have.

There was an error 'The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.'.
I'm using smf 1.1.13. Please check it out. TQ.

Yeah the file wasn't updated to include instructions for 1.1.13 even though they're identical to 1.1.12.

Try installing http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2113 and selecting 1.1.12 from the dropdown it gives you (that tells the package manager to look for instructions for 1.1.12 instead of 1.1.13)

Apologies for that, thought I had copied the identical instructions across.

Its been done now.  :)

Just an FYI, got this to work in 2.0RC5 with the following code:


      // Show the member's registration date?
      if (!empty($message['member']['registered']) && (!empty($settings['show_registration_date']))
         echo '
                        <li class="registrationdate">', $txt['date_registered'], ': ', strftime(' %b, %Y',  strtotime($message['member']['registered'])), '</li>';


Hi. I'm using RC2. Install this and got this error:

You can get it to show by adding the above code into your display.template.php file.

Hello, I need one information. I installed the mod successfully. But use the Croatian language and are not showing the text 'Join Date', only the date is displayed. Where and what code must I entered?

I solved the problem.  :)  thx

Works, thanks!

Im using smf 2.0.2 but I can't find where to enable this mod? Please advise.

In my setup, it's

Admin > Configuration > Modification Settings > Miscellaneous

.. then tick the box entitled "Show join date in topic view:"

Thanks, seems I was to slow to reply!

It should be where Shambles just said, if it's not then can you post your ManageSettings.php file

Ok, found it. Thanks guys! ;)

anyway to turn around the date for the Americans?
It says Month Date Year and we use Day Month Year

I thought America used Month Day Year  ???

Find this line in Sources/Load.php

'joined' => empty($profile['date_registered']) ? '' : timeformat($profile['date_registered'], '%b %Y'),

And edit it to the format that you want.

timeformat is a function in Sources/Subs.php and uses http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php to format the string.

Can someone tell me why this particular action would need to take place for this mod? Enabling the mod toggles real_name vs member_name, and this is completely unrelated to the mod itself, I'm just really curious as to the reason.

Find: [Select]
'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $profile['id_member'] . '" title="' . $txt['profile_of'] . ' ' . $profile['real_name'] . '">' . $profile['real_name'] . '</a>',

Replace With: [Select]
'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $profile['id_member'] . '" title="' . $txt['profile_of'] . ' ' . (empty($modSettings['display_join_date']) ? $profile['real_name'] : $profile['member_name']) . '">' . $profile['real_name'] . '</a>',

There's no good reason for it that I can think of.

In fact I'd probably go as far as calling it a bug because it is unintended - and unwanted - behaviour and in some cases could be a privacy issue (e.g. cases where a user signs up with one name and immediately changes the display name to cloak their real login name)

For whatever reason, this mod isn't working.  I did notice that the last version compatible is 2.0.5 and I have 2.0.7.  I didn't get any errors or failure notices though, so I went a head with the mod.  I checked the mod instructions and is didn't give an "this mod is not compatible with your version of SMF" so I felt installing it on my forum.

What's up? And can this be updated?

Fixed the problem!!

Hello, is a modification for 2.1 planned?

Quote from: pikeman on March 05, 2022, 06:45:58 AMHello, is a modification for 2.1 planned?

I didn't realise people still used this mod! I'll look to get an update done for SMF 2.1 shortly.

Try the attached MemberSince-1.0.2.tar.gz

It works, thank you! :)

Works great and also works with the Relative Time Format (https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=4235) mod. ;)

Hello.

Just wanted to ask as I've spent the past two days pulling apart this mod if there is a way to change it from "Date" Registered" to "Joined" on the forum posts as the latter just is too big and causes the text to go onto the next line.

Thanks 

No need to pull apart code.
All language strings are in language files -- either specific to the mod or in modifications.english.php

This mod should say Join Date, it's defined in Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php

Okay I've just checked and it's there as it should be, even I use a custom theme that shouldn't break it I don't think.

I tried to reinstall the mod but my package manager says this is missing.

            // Show users join date?
            if (!empty($modSettings['display_join_date']) && !empty($message['member']['joined']))
                echo '
                            <li>', $txt['date_registered'], ': ', $message['member']['joined'], '</li>';

            // Show avatars, images, etc.?


Sorry if I seem really dumb or stupid I'm just trying to figure out a way to solve this problem. Thanks

you mean it shows that as missing on UNINSTALL?

Or it shows that the target code, which THAT code replaces can not be found on INSTALL?

Apologies I didn't state that, yes it's on the uninstall package screen sorry. So not sure if that's my issue. I tried to put it into random places in the "./Sources/ManageSettings.php" file but still doesn't work.

That change is made in Themes/default/Display.template.php
When you were trying to change the text displayed did you make any changes to that file?

I had to manually add the code cause it gave me an install error and I had to move it down the file cause on my theme it was showing above the profile picture.

            // Show users join date?
            if (!empty($modSettings['display_join_date']) && !empty($message['member']['joined']))
                echo '
                            <li>', $txt['date_registered'], ': ', $message['member']['joined'], '</li>';
Can of confused why it's saying it fails on "./Sources/ManageSettings.php" if it's meant to go into "Themes/default/Display.template.php"

There is another change in manage settings. Look at the manual edits on the modifications site and work out which one you have modified so that it no longer uninstalls correctly.

Quote from: tinoest on August 21, 2022, 07:10:04 PMThere is another change in manage settings. Look at the manual edits on the modifications site and work out which one you have modified so that it no longer uninstalls correctly.

The error on the uninstall is coming from "./Sources/ManageSettings.php"

Tells me to find

// Show users join date?
if (!empty($modSettings['display_join_date']) && !empty($message['member']['joined']))
echo '
<li>', $txt['date_registered'], ': ', $message['member']['joined'], '</li>';

// Show avatars, images, etc.?

And replace with

// Show avatars, images, etc.?

But when I check "./Sources/ManageSettings.php" that code doesn't exist anywhere. Could this be why it's not displaying correctly in posts maybe

That change is in the file I said above not manage settings. You're not reading the package installer correctly.

@WolfJ - If you're comfortable with making some code edits you could uninstall this mod and implement the Tip for SMF 2.1: Show 'Date Joined' and 'Last Active' in posts and PMs (https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=583028.0) - this would also enable you to set the label/title to meet your needs.
