Module: Recent Messages

That time is formatted using the standard formatting in the language file. Take a look at include/lang/<yourlanguage>.php for the used time formats (long_date_time and short_date_time). This is what I use in my Dutch language file for 24 hour (a.k.a. military time) support:

$PHORUM['long_date_time'] = '%d %B %Y %H:%M';
$PHORUM['short_date_time'] = '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M';

It didn't work with $PHORUM['short_date_time'] = '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M';

I put $PHORUM['short_time'] = '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M';

And it is OK but why ?

Oh, that is because short_time is not part of the standard definitions in the language file. I though that you were looking at one of the default date formats here. My bad. That one is only defined for the module. Check the language file in mods/recent_messages/lang/yourlanguage.php

hi maurice,

is there a way to display the "mark all forums read" link from your markllforumsread-module in the recent posts page? as far as i understood there must be $PHORUM["DATA"]["MARKALLFORUMSREAD_LINK"] set, but it doesn't exist in addon.php.

thanx!

That module sets up data for the index page only. There's no easy way of getting it to work for other pages too.

Could be a future extension of the module. In the first versions of the module, the forums listing that was provided to the index hook function was used to mark all forums read. A later version switched to selecting all forums from the database and marking those read, so also hidden forums and deeper level forums would be marked read. Based on that new logic, there's no reason why this module couldn't run on other pages than the index. But it's substantial change nonetheless, not a quicky.

I use the cookies
When an user goes to my Phorum page, it is "Log In" but if he goes to my page "recent messages" it is "Log Out",

Sorry, you will have to rephrase that.
I am afraid that I do not understand your question.

Here's come the french version of this module.
You can verify the translation on my forums :

mmakaay: removed the translation file.
It is now part of the module package.

Can I use this addon to add a small column to my sites homepage with recent changes to the forum? The homepage is not part of the forum.

Here is an example

No, this module has a totally different goal. It provides an interface for a user to find recent messages / threads, grouped in various ways. It is not for adding such a sidebar thing. That would require a different module really. Or you could possibly build some RSS reading PHP script in your page template and point that one at the Phorum RSS feed.
