time of day hack for b2evolution

December 26th, 2004 · No Comments ·

I stumbled upon a hack for wordpress that replaces the actual post time with a 'time of day' verbiage and ported it over to b2evolution. The modification is rather easy.

First place this function in your conf/_hacks.php:

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
  1. <?php
  2. // inputs must be unix timestamp (seconds)
  3. function time_of_day($pdate){
  4. global $DB, $tableposts;
  5. $hour=date('H',$pdate);
  6. switch($hour)
  7. {
  8. case 0:
  9. case 1:
  10. case 2:
  11. $tod = 'the wee hours';
  12. break;
  13. case 3:
  14. case 4:
  15. case 5:
  16. case 6:
  17. $tod = 'terribly early in the morning';
  18. break;
  19. case 7:
  20. case 8:
  21. case 9:
  22. $tod = 'early morning';
  23. break;
  24. case 10:
  25. $tod = 'mid-morning';
  26. break;
  27. case 11:
  28. $tod = 'late morning';
  29. break;
  30. case 12:
  31. case 13:
  32. $tod = 'lunch time';
  33. break;
  34. case 14:
  35. $tod = 'early afternoon';
  36. break;
  37. case 15:
  38. case 16:
  39. $tod = 'mid-afternoon';
  40. break;
  41. case 17:
  42. $tod = 'late afternoon';
  43. break;
  44. case 18:
  45. case 19:
  46. $tod = 'early evening';
  47. break;
  48. case 20:
  49. case 21:
  50. $tod = 'evening time';
  51. break;
  52. case 22:
  53. $tod = 'late evening';
  54. break;
  55. case 23:
  56. $tod = 'late at night';
  57. break;
  58. default:
  59. $tod = '';
  60. break;
  61. }
  62. //return $tod;
  63. echo $tod;
  64. }?>

Then in your skin's _main.php file, replace your post time section with this:

PLAIN TEXT
PHP:
  1. <?php time_of_day(abs(strtotime($Item-&gt;issue_date))); ?>

You can add some css to display this image right before the time: clock image.
