date - R3c0nna1ssanc3 - 10-19-2009
Okay I am almost done matching my templates for joomla and mybb, but right now I am stuck on one thing getting the same date. Here is the script in the html file from joomla.
Code:
<?php if($this->params->get('dateDisplay')) : ?><div id="date"><?php echo date('l dS \of F Y'); ?> </div><?php endif; ?>If I put it directly into the header file for mybb I get this error.
Code:
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/content/41/4149141/html/forum/global.php(438) : eval()'d code on line 12here are the two things I trying to match.

Well, to call the current date and time in MyBB, you would use:
PHP Code:
{$lang->welcome_current_time}
And to set which timezone you would like the forum to run off, you go into your Admin CP > Configuration > Date and Time Format.
For last post date you would use
PHP Code:
$lastpostdate
PHP Code:
$lastposttime

The reason it doesn't work is because you can't use normal PHP in templates, only variables that have been pre-defined in whatever file evals the template.

sorry aboult my lack of knowledge with php but how would I write a new definition for that?

bump because I still need help getting the date in the same format as my home page.
