How do I display a user's join date in the post bit?

Template hook. Think I may experiment real quick.

​Hmm I expected it could be done by adding just one line to the template. But thanks, looking forward to it!

You could probably do it that way too. A template hook though would be more robust IMO.

​I have a very heavily modified theme so I think a template edit would be a better idea. Do you by any chance what code I should add?

Can check out my hook here: http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/7303-jimmo-user-join-date-in-post/

Or add the below:

{datetime="$comment->author()->joined"}

​This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!

@ForeverPontiac, the date returns as an object (\IPS\DateTime) so you can use format. I'm working to update my hook (http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/4821-enhanced-joined-date/) and it uses the joined date as well. That's how I did to format it:

$joinedDate->format( 'm/d/Y' );

However I use it on a PHP function, not on template... don't know how you can do this on a theme hook.

[The Jimmo]

{{$date = $comment->author()->joined;}}
{{$date = $date->format( 'M Y' );}}

{$date} wherever you want to use it in the template

Basically what @Adriano Faria mentioned, can probably reduce and combine the lines a bit but this is for demonstration purposes.
