Title: time in message formatting in tabsrmm
Post by: cirocco on 21 07 2016, 06:20:37

Hello
 I would like to format date/time in messages in such a way that messages from today does not have date prefix, but older messages have day prefix. How can I do that?
 Having day displayed in every message is unnecessary, but for older messages I want to know the date, if it was 2 or 3 days ago.
Thanks for any help.

I don't see it possible.
Also, if a message was sent yesterday, but you've had the chat log open, how would you know if it was fresh or from a day ago?

It could be possible using an ieview+tabsrmm combo.

I think you can achieve something similar by using Tabsrmm's message internal log, just with properly set template:

Quote

The *#* character means that the variable does only apply to *old* events, that is, events which are loaded from the history when you open a message window. Contrary, the *$* character does the opposite – the variable will only show up in new events. You can use these modifiers to get different message formatting for old and new events.

So, for new messages you won't show date at all, but for old ones (loaded when opening message window) you show the date.
