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:

Code:

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.<

Because I use strForumTimeAdjust today is always today relative to all dates shown the user.<

I understand that. This was a quick enhancement MOD. I will work on adding a local Time Adjust to the user profile to handle the real world.<

The Local Time Zone function is now fully functional on my system. It took the addition of a small (6 character) field in the Members db and less than 50 lines of code. When I have shaken it down for awhile I will package it as a 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.<
