I'm trying to figure out how I could add the timestamp of the original message to a quote.
As it is, the quote starts with "[nick] wrote:" and I'd like to change it to "[nick] wrote [orig. timestamp]:"
I did a bit of research with Lithium-communities, but couldn't find any forums that had done this. Any ideas? :)
Here is a freemarker REST call you could make to get the message post time:
<#assign post_time = rest("/message/id/${message_id}/post_time").value />
Then you can use freemarker to format the date, or if you have friendly dates turned on you could do something like this:
<#assign post_friendly_date = post_time.@view_friendly_date />
Here are some relevant freemarker articles:
