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 1.0.4 --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.

It is fixed for now. I had to remove the leap year code temporarily until I get it all re-written to work properly. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks ..

So, for clarity ...

I'm running 4.04pl1, so I should just re-download and do a complete install of this version?

No problem ... appreciate your excellent work and support ...

Installed this last download on v4.04pl1 and I received NO error messages during the install. I also replaced the JS file. It appears to run fine and I see no anomalies with date and time calculations.

Doug

Good, at least we're no worse off than before we added the leap year code. It was working fine with it until we hit January 1st. I noticed a coupe of other scripts on the net were messing up on the new year, also. I'll get it sorted out. Thanks for reporting back.

Same issue Boofo

Site Age: 4years - 'xx'seconds

Make sure you install the version now in the first post and replace the old js file on the server. If it is a new install today, then check your settings as the js file in the zip is the original one that always worked.

Hi ..

I just noticed an error message at the top of our AdminCP (see pic)...

I think this is a left over from the 1.06 install.

I have updated to the last version you posted yesterday, as per our previous discussion, but how should I clear these messages? Should I just load and save the templates, then re-install the current version you've posted?

Regards,
Doug

Edit: I selected EDIT from screen shown for each template and I loaded and saved the templates that came up. After that, the error doesn't seem to be appearing in the AdminCP currently. Does that mean it's fixed?

[Boofo]

I would do an uninstall of the mod and delete any leftover templates, if there are any, and then do a fresh install of the mod. Make sure you write down your settings so you can re-enter them. I don't know why you had that error showing up and I haven't had that reported before. But, then, you know me well enough to know when I screw something up, I REALLY screw it up.

Ok, I really didn't want to uninstall, so I REVERTED the templates (see pic in previous post) as it seemed to be a 1.05 versus 1.04 template issue. I then re-installed the current version and the problem seems to have gone away and all templates check out as current.

Thanks ..
