Mod Name / Version: Time-Offset Support for IIP Index Page <br /> <br />
Description: This adds time-offset support for those who have IIP installed. 'News' posts will now display the correct time for registered users. ie. the same time that is displayed for them on the message boards. <br /> <br />NOTE: This modification is *only* for those who specifically have their news section set to 'disable cache' in the IIP configuration settings. ie '0' in the box where it states... <br /> <br />"Should we cache this information to decrease page generation times? <br />If so, how many minutes should lapse before updating? ( 0 disables ) <br /> (this option used only when force public is turned on above)" <br /> <br />...otherwise it will simply have no effect. <br /> <br /> <br />
Working Under: UBB.Threads 6.3-6.4-6.5 <br /> <br />
Mod Status: Finished <br /> <br />
