Site Life Status

[Boofo]

This will only count the forumhome page hits. Did you get it running?

[TimberFloorAu]

Cheers Boofo :)
Another great mod :)


Ozzy Clicks Installed

[SpeedJunkyz]

yeah it is running I think..... but no picture/icon and I do not know what step #2 and #3 did. I didn;t see a change when i completed it. I uploaded xml file first.....

[Boofo]

It looks like your image directory setting isn't right in the style. Just edit the template for the hack for the icon directory. It is working. You just need to set the starting hit count that you want to have the count start at. Check the setting for the hack and you can set it there.

[SpeedJunkyz]

How do I edit the template for the hack lol..... Im new at this stuff.

I already did set the hit count....didn't I?

[Boofo]

You can set the hitcount to a higher starting number if you want to. Just look for the template called boofo_site_life_status and change the path to the image in there. Did you upload the image file to the skin misc directory?

[SpeedJunkyz]

I put the image in the Images>misc folder on my server Admin

[Boofo]

Do a right click on where the image should be and look at what the image path is supposed to be. You have uploaded the image to the wrong place for that skin, like I said above.

[SpeedJunkyz]

Ok I will try that.......I may use a different image......BRB

[SpeedJunkyz]

Ok is this what I am looking for?

"The requested URL /forums/images/speedfire/misc/life_status.gif was not found on this server."

I right clicked and only saw open image. so I opened it and it said that^^

[Boofo]

Yes, that is the path you need to upload the image file to:

forums/images/speedfire/misc/

[SpeedJunkyz]

Ok I have fixed the problem. You were right it was in the wrong folder. Thanks for helping me BOOFO is the BOMB!! Kudos to HIM for helping me!!!

[Boofo]

Boofo is a him (let me check...yup). ;)

[Boofo]

You do know you can change the amount of visitors so it matches your starting date more closely, right?

[SpeedJunkyz]

how much do you suggest then...

[Boofo]

Depends on how busy your site it. Let it run for a day and see how many hits you get. Multiply that by the number of days you have been up so far and that should be a good starting point.

[GaiLoan]

this was so cool, thank you Boofo

[Alexvanleeuwen]

Works great, thanks.

For the Dutch people, use only the English months, otherwise the counter won't work, then you only see from 1 to 59 sec.
Dont know if somebody posted this info yet if yes, sorry;)

[Boofo]

That is a limitation of php and javascript. Not much I can do there, sorry.

[Alexvanleeuwen]

Its not a problem:) but it wasnt working until i discovered it, i thought mabey a tip:)

[Boofo]

I think most hacks that use the time and date functions are like that so it is no big news. ;)

[msu2k]

How can I get rid of the "There have been XX visitors to this page." part altogether?

[Boofo]

Edit the template for the hack.

[Guy Betten]

Boofo, I want to thank you for all the work you put into this mod! With all you did for me today, I am up and running. Thanks again, JPT.

[Bubble #5]

Great work Boofo :)

One of those "Why didn't someone think of this before" hacks :p

[BeerLuver]

Hmmm... anyone else have issues with this mod not working right after upgrading to the new 3.7.2 vb patch? It displays and everything, it just doesn't show/count the visitors now... it just stays at 0. It was working fine before upgrading. Any ideas?? Guessing/hoping an update will come about sometime soon then ;).

[Boofo]

Did you replace your config.php file? If so, you need to re-do the edit.

[soundbarrierpro]

I like this, and I will use this. Thank you sir.

[BeerLuver]

DOH haha... completely overlooked that. Thanks Boofo :) working fine again.

[Boofo]

You regally don't need to upgrade the config.php on upgrades unless they tell us that they have changed something in it, which seldom happens on minor upgrades.

[SpeedJunkyz]

for some reason my "Site Age" resets everytime you refresh to -30 seconds. Its counts up to "0" and thens starts to count up from zero.

[Boofo]

It looks perfectly fine to me.

[BeerLuver]

Thanks for the heads up on this notion :). I really should spend the time to overlook what fixes they've done when a new patch comes out for vB, before I upgrade my forums then. Definitely gonna do that from now on; and not overwrite ALL files unless required. Thanks again man :)

[Boofo]

The config.php should be the only file you don't need to overwrite every time. The rest I would do.

[BeerLuver]

I don't update the images directories unless there are new images added; I had to alter their default images to work better with darker styles; aside from any custom images we made that is.

[Boofo]

I have a separate directory for my images for the skin I am using so it makes no difference for me. But, yes, the images directory is one that you can bypass unless they have changed or added something.

[SpeedJunkyz]

It looks perfectly fine to me.

yeah it looks fine to me now......but awhile ago it was doing what stated above....weird!


SJ

[Boofo]

There is no way it can do what you stated it was doing it you install the hack properly. ;)

[EagleNick]

It constantly says " There have been 0 visitors to this page. ".... I did what it said to do to fix the problem.

Why, is this, and how do I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

BTW, this is a very neat hack :D

[Boofo]

Do the config.php file edit.

[EagleNick]

I did.

Here is the last part of my config.php file:
// Image Processing Options
// Images that exceed either dimension below will not be resized by vBulletin. If you need to resize larger images, alter these settings.
$config['Misc']['maxwidth'] = 2592;
$config['Misc']['maxheight'] = 1944;

[EagleNick]

Heh...

Sorry, I was wrong. I did the edit but I forgot to re-upload the file. LOL

[Boofo]

Where is the closing bracket? You need a } tthe end of that code.

[EagleNick]

I accidentally left that out when I copied and pasted the code... but it's there in the file :)
