I can't believe it

[Capmaster]

Thanks guys. I appreciate the help 8)

I'll purge the cache and then check for FIRST_POST_TIME

Edit:
Yep. /includes/functions_topics_list.php:

$topic_author = '';
$first_post_time = '';
$last_post_time = '';
$last_post_url = '';
$views = '';
switch ($topic_item_type)
{
case POST_USERS_URL:
$view_topic_url = append_sid("profile.$phpEx?" . POST_USERS_URL . "=$topic_id");
break;
default:
$view_topic_url = append_sid("viewtopic.$phpEx?" . POST_TOPIC_URL . "=$topic_id");
$topic_author = ( $topic_rowset[$i]['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS ) ? '<a href="' . append_sid("profile.$phpEx?mode=viewprofile&" . POST_USERS_URL . '=' . $topic_rowset[$i]['user_id']) . '">' : '';
$topic_author .= ( $topic_rowset[$i]['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS ) ? $topic_rowset[$i]['username'] : ( ( $topic_rowset[$i]['post_username'] != '' ) ? $topic_rowset[$i]['post_username'] : $lang['Guest'] );
$topic_author .= ( $topic_rowset[$i]['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS ) ? '</a>' : '';
$first_post_time = create_date($board_config['default_dateformat'], $topic_rowset[$i]['topic_time'],

and

'TOPIC_TYPE' => $topic_type,
'VIEWS' => $views,
'FIRST_POST_TIME' => $first_post_time,
'LAST_POST_TIME' => $last_post_time,
'LAST_POST_AUTHOR' => $last_post_author,
'LAST_POST_IMG' => $last_post_url,

Did the whole thing from scratch, triple checked the code, flushed my cache ...FTP-ed the new file .....and it won't .....friggin .....show the date/time.

You're obviously doing something wrong.

Here, I pasted the whole topics_list_box.tpl from my forum with the working hack on it:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN topics_list_box -->
<!-- BEGIN row -->
<!-- BEGIN header_table -->
<!-- BEGIN multi_selection -->
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
//
// checkbox selection management
function check_uncheck_main_{topics_list_box.row.header_table.BOX_ID}()
{
	var all_checked = true;
	for (i = 0; (i < document.{topics_list_box.FORMNAME}.elements.length) && all_checked; i++)
	{
		if (document.{topics_list_box.FORMNAME}.elements[i].name == '{topics_list_box.FIELDNAME}[]{topics_list_box.row.header_table.BOX_ID}')
		{
			all_checked =  document.{topics_list_box.FORMNAME}.elements[i].checked;
		}
	}
	document.{topics_list_box.FORMNAME}.all_mark_{topics_list_box.row.header_table.BOX_ID}.checked = all_checked;
}
// check/uncheck all
function check_uncheck_all_{topics_list_box.row.header_table.BOX_ID}()
{
	for (i = 0; i < document.{topics_list_box.FORMNAME}.length; i++)
	{
		if (document.{topics_list_box.FORMNAME}.elements[i].name == '{topics_list_box.FIELDNAME}[]{topics_list_box.row.header_table.BOX_ID}')
		{
			document.{topics_list_box.FORMNAME}.elements[i].checked = document.{topics_list_box.FORMNAME}.all_mark_{topics_list_box.row.header_table.BOX_ID}.checked;
		}
	}
}
</script>
<!-- END multi_selection -->

THanks DashSpeed. I really do appreciate your help

But ....NFG. I copied your post and uploaded it to /templates/subsilver/ as topics_list.box.tpl and ....


it still doesn't show the date or the time - just the OP's name.

Time to throw in the towel, I suspect. There's obviously something else in my forum code that's keeping it from displaying.
