This is a little MOD that has been extremely well received on my board. What it does is show * Today * instead of the date if the date is today. Members find that it makes it far easier to locate what has changed on the board.

A new function (chkdateT) is added to inc_func_common.asp as follows:

function chkDateT(fDate,separator,fTime)
	if left(fDate,8) = left(DateToStr(strForumTimeAdjust),8) then
		chkDateT = "<B>* Today *</B>"
		if fTime then
			chkDateT = chkDateT & separator & chkTime(fDate)
		end if
	else
		chkDateT = chkDate(fDate,separator,fTime)
	end if
end function

Then anywhere you wish to use it just change 'chkdate' to 'chkdateT'

You may see it in action here.<

That will be a great mod!<

Note that this only works for members - guests continue to see all times relative to the server's time zone.

You can register on my board and check it out for yourself by going to the Motorcyle Safety Forum.<

Some people may not, that was the only reason for pointing it out, otherwise you can guarentee someone will complain <

The forums today is still not my today unless it is in the same timezone as I am<
jamesdavis Posted - 21 August 2005 : 08:58:27
Because I use strForumTimeAdjust today is always today relative to all dates shown the user.<

Today for you may not be today for other people though <
