Is there anyway of changing the forum (I use simplified layout) to say the date and time of the last post rather than how long ago
e.g last post by PSumbler 29/6 at 22.35
As opposed to last post by PSumbler 1 minute ago
Hi @psumbler,
You can do any change you want using wpForo template files. Here is the documentation for update-safe template customization:
- https://wpforo.com/docs/root/forum-themes/theme-files/
- https://wpforo.com/docs/root/forum-themes/theme-customization/
open wpf-themes > classic > layouts > 2 > forum.php
search for
<p class="wpforo-last-post-info"><?php wpforo_member_link($member, 'by'); ?>, <?php wpforo_date($forum['last_post_date']) ?></p>
and replace
<?php wpforo_date($forum['last_post_date']) ?>
with
<?php wpforo_date($forum['last_post_date'], 'd/m/Y g:i a') ?>
Thank you both thats brilliant
Can that be done on individual forums as well - its worked on the index page but not on the individual forums? I assume its same code but on a different page?
topic.php & recent.php
<?php wpforo_date($topic['created']); ?>
replace with
<?php wpforo_date($topic['created'], 'd/m/Y g:i a'); ?>
----------------
<?php wpforo_date($post['created']); ?>
replace with
<?php wpforo_date($post['created'], 'd/m/Y g:i a'); ?>
----------------
<?php if( wpfkey($topic, 'created') ) wpforo_date($topic['created']); ?>
replace with
<?php if( wpfkey($topic, 'created') ) wpforo_date($topic['created'], 'd/m/Y g:i a'); ?>
