The "Posted on" time shows your time zone, but the "Last edited" shows the boards default time (EST). Just thought I'd point it out, its insignificant and you probably already know.

edit: case in point

edit: nevermind, I found the answer... guess I should have thought to check back a few pages before making a thread. But couldn't the time functions be the same? Why not use the posted on time function for the last edited function?

The edited time is stored as a text string (literally what you see there).

Making it timezone-offset would require reworking the whole thing.

I'm guessing the code is still similar to the old copy of the board that I have but this one used to put it in the signature: 

$sign.="$smallfont"."(edited by $username on ".date("m-d-y h:i A",ctime()).")</font>";


So couldn't you set it to something like this: 

$edittime=ctime() - $user[timezone] * 60 * 60;

$sign.="$smallfont"."(edited by $username on ".date("m-d-y h:i A",$edittime).")</font>";

I think that would have everyone's edits show up as their own time zone. Like, my edits would show PST for everyone, but Anya's would show EST, Zero One's would show GMT, Sanky's would show CET, etc. That would be a bit more confusing.

How about just adding an "EST" or "GMT-5" to the string? That way, people in other time zones will just know to convert to their time zone.

That is (and has been for the last several years) on the to-do list (rather, a mass update changing the format to something more sensical, since it really wasn't meant for this)


Probably fixed sometime in 2019.

#55
- Add "last edited" and "last edited by" fields for posts (0 by default)
- Update them whenever the post is edited
- Show the edit next to "Posted on" (unless it's at 0), using the timezone

I didn't do it that way since it listed all edits (it'd need a separate table for post edits, or store lists in a field), but only the last one is shown here already

Yeah, but that adds another left join and well blerugh.

Effort.

Does AcmlmBoard still not properly handle or allow half-hour offsets? That seems simple to fix, just make the field a float or decimal type

Have you ever, er, tried?

Nah, I never have been in such a time zone, but in the profile it doesn't seem to show up right. Unless I was wrong about Darkdata's time zone and he's not in a half offset. But it seems to just show some kind of full offset.

Yeah, the board's full of annoying things like this. It was hard enough removing all traces of stealable cookies on my own board.

Or simply: 


$date = explode(" ", $edits)


Simple as hell, because you know that the date HAS to be the last two three elements of the array.

Which isn't that hard to find, really (hell, array_pop() would do it, some stuff with count() too, etc)

Just my idea of a solution.

Fixed that for you.

As we're talking about time I would like to suggest displaying dates in the "YY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss" format as it is far more intuitive then "MM-DD-YY hh:mm:ss (am)/(pm)" and would greatly reduce my confusion and bumps of old topics! Thank you!

Just my idea of a solution.

substr() with a negative start value would probably work better (the string always ends with "10-11-10 07:45 PM)")...

As for a date format change, there was a plan to make it user configurable overall (input your own date() string type thing) but that kind of fell apart when I realized the date format is actually hard coded in a few points. There's a real timeformat/dateformat thing but they're off in space.

Now of course, there is a PHP function to take in a string and turn it into a neat and handy unix timestamp, buuuut the problem is that hardcoded stuff Xk mentioned earlier.

And the way stuff is spread everywhere in general. *Shrug*
