sorry to disappoint you rohan_ , but aranator is right this is a complex  modification you are asking for,

but have patience it will be done sometime , i will try to make it work once i understand how

have faith ,

thank you

Moved this over to "SMF Coding Discussion" where this may get better responses on the issue at hand.

[sAce]

thank you lexarma

[Rohan_]

please do it as fast as possible

thank u all

[Rohan_]

any updates

[Arantor]

Let me clarify: this means several modifications to core code, and between trying to find a job and repeated hospital visits, I really haven't had time to dig into this. As soon as I am able I will attempt it, but my personal life is making this somewhat difficult at present (you may have noticed that my post rate has dropped)

[Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen]

Sorry to say Rohan_ but if you can't do something yourself, you should at least have patience to allow others the time they need - unless you want to pay for the work.

Try this one. Paste this code in your MessageIndex.template.php. Let's see if that's the one you are looking for. This is for the default theme.

Code (find) Select Expand

<small id="pages' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['pages'], '</small>

Code (replace) Select Expand

<small id="pages' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['pages'], '</small>';
$today = @getdate(time());
echo '<div style="font-size: 10px; padding: 2px;">', $topic['first_post']['member']['name'], ' - ', floor(($today[0] - $topic['first_post']['timestamp']) / 86400 ), ' days</div>

[sAce]

thank you bulakbol ,

he wanted "days ago"

so for that replace " days " from the end of the code with " ', $txt['days_ago'], ' " and
add " $txt['days_ago'] = 'Days ago.';  " in modifications.english.php

[Rohan_]

Can u please make a exact code for me ?? i want days old

[Rohan_]

Change the } on line 243 to a ) and try it again.

woww how easily Bulakbol solved this problem .. anyways there is a problem the days are exactly not matching with the real date of the topic when it posted .. there is a difference of 1 day .. i just have posted a topic and it showing 1 days old ... and in some topics it showing 0 days old i want Today not 0 days old

[Rohan_]

see this pic the first topic posted 10 mins ago and it showing it 1 days ago i want to see it Today .. and the other topics are 23 days old and it showing them 22 days ago .. there is a problem of 1 day please solve it

any topic i am posting now my site showing them 1 days old

[Arantor]

This is why Bulakbol is on the team and I am not. As I said to you earlier on, I frequently don't know what I'm talking about.

As for this, try replacing:

Code Select Expand


<small id="pages' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['pages'], '</small>';
$today = @getdate(time());
echo '<div style="font-size: 10px; padding: 2px;">', $topic['first_post']['member']['name'], ' - ', floor(($today[0] - $topic['first_post']['timestamp']) / 86400 ), ' days</div>


With:

Code Select Expand


<small id="pages' . $topic['first_post']['id'] . '">', $topic['pages'], '</small>';
$today = @getdate(time());
$days = ceil(($today[0] - $topic['first_post']['timestamp']) / 86400 );
if($days <= 1) {
echo '<div style="font-size: 10px; padding: 2px;">', $topic['first_post']['member']['name'], ' - <b>Today</b></div>';
} else {
echo '<div style="font-size: 10px; padding: 2px;">', $topic['first_post']['member']['name'], ' - ', $days, ' days</div>';
}
echo '


It probably won't work but worth a try anyway.
