Forum Home Enhancements - Site Life Status for vB 4

Site Life Status for vB 4
Version 1.0.4
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will add a Site Life Status info area, including Site Startup Date, Site Age, Site Location, Pagehits counter and Average visits, to your forumhome What's Going On box.

NOTE: The maximum counter value will depend on your system. The maximum signed integer value for 32 bit systems is 2147483647 (or 2,147,483,647), while the maximum signed integer value for 64 bit systems is 9223372036854775807 (or 9,223,372,036,854,775,807). These are the highest numbers this counter will be able to count to, depending on your system.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --Added Site Life Status Date Display Format option to settings.
Version 1.0.2 --Added Site Life Status Locale option to settings. This will allow you to display the Site Life Status Date Display Format day and month name in your local language.
Version 1.0.3 --Fixed for WGO style changes in vB 4.0.8. (Site_Life_Status_vb4.08.zip only)
Version 1.0.4 --Reverted back to the original js file because of the timer messing up with the added leap year code.

Credits:
A thank you goes out to Shawn Dean for supplying the original javascript code for the Site Age counter.

Not necessarily. I have the version for vb 3 around somewhere. I'll see if I can hunt it up.

Well, Boofo if you share it vB3 version then, really I'll be very glad. I've see old (3.8.x) version in modification graveyard. I don't know why, is that add-on in mod-graveyard, however it is very cool add-on. I really need that mod because I would guess, I will use it in my site and I'm sure you can suggest that mod for vB3 users, right? (: Thanks. Best Regards, Rock on. ^^

Maybe this has already been asked and solved but I was wondering if there was a way for the line:

Site Age
118 days, 21 hours, 45 minutes and 42 seconds

to Just say;

Site Age
118 days or 118 days,21 hours.

If not that is fine and I dont mind it the way it is.
Nice work coder/moder.

I've never tried it but I suppose you could edit the template to take out what you don't want showing. I'm not sure how it would affect the rest of the counter though. Make sure you have a backup and give it a shot.

yes I took out the two lines in regard to seconds

var lbls_sec = "{vb:rawphrase sls_second}";
var lbls_secs = "{vb:rawphrase sls_seconds}";

but the site age line came up empty on the forums so I will just leave it the way it is.

[Boofo]

Try leaving those lines in and change them to:

var lbls_sec = "";
var lbls_secs = "";

What is the "Time since forum came online" line then? You can't use 2 counters.

Do the counters start from the day the mod is installed or can this mod somehow figure out for how long the forum is running?
