Doing a little forum editing and want to shift the location of the post date. Noticed when I used the code:

sp_PostIndexUserDate

I seem to be getting a two line response (date on top and time on bottom). Is there a place I can edit so this all displays on a single line instead of two?

Thank you in advance!

sure. in 5.0, its all theme driven...  so you need to edit your sp theme you are using...and as always, we strongly recommend that you make your own theme and not edit one of ours (ref: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/)

you have the right function for the user date...  now just set the options the way you want... the available args and defaults are:

                  'nicedate'        => 0,
                  'date'              => 1,
                  'time'              => 1,
                  'stackdate'        => 1,

nice date prints out stuff like 1 minute ago, 2 days ago...  if nicedate is off, you get a timestamp...  the date and time controls how much data in that timestamp...  stackdate tells whether to stack, ie 2 lines, or not to stack, one line...

we hope to soon get all this type info in the codex on the template tags...  just with the launch of 5.0, time has been short...

Ahh, OK - so something like this?

 

sp_PostIndexUserDate('tagClass=spLabelBordered spLeft&nicedate=0&date=1&time=1&stackdate=1');

By the way - it worked. The final line wa:

sp_PostIndexUserDate('tagClass=spLabelBordered spLeft&nicedate=0&stackdate=0');

 

Thank you!

Yeah - the support has been great and my forums are looking better than ever. Very satisfied with the subscription.

By the way - is there a function or a manner of inserting vertical spacing like a carriage return into a column? I'm messing with Column 1 of the post row (on the spTopicView.php) and I removed the time stamp from the top (I have a forum setup identical to this one). What's happening now is the avatar image is butting right up against the top of Column 1 of the post row.This make sense?

I'm using

sp_InsertBreak();

To try and add a little space and nudge the avatar down. Doesn't seem to be working.

Thoughts?

well, by itself, sp_InsertBreak() really only does a clear on floats... 

you could just insert a <br /> tag but it might be too big...

another option would be to pass a class to the function via:

sp_InsertBreak('tagClass=someClass');

and then style .someClass to have some margin or padding...
