Forum Home Enhancements - Site Life Status

Site Life Status for vB3.7
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 and a Pagehits counter 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 1.0.1 --Initial release for vB3.7
Version 1.0.2 --Fixed changed variable in the template manual edit code.
Version 1.0.3 --Added phrases for counter. Now fully phrased.
Version 1.0.4 --Counter moved to the datastore. Added setting for the page views start count.

NOTE: You will need to uninstall any previous version and do a clean install of 1.0.4 to upgrade. You will also need to delete the forumhome_pagehits.txt file as it is no longer needed.

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

The 'Daily visitors to this page average:' is something I am working on now and will be testing. An after-thought, if you will.

yes i do comletely uninstall and reinstall as the instruction said...but i really don't have the (and) thing, dunno why instead...only comma (,) still using vb3.6.8 here...maybe that's the problem too? not 100% compatible? and btw...it really looks good too with that new addon below..(Average visits to this page:)maybe we can have it all...

thanks and best regards...

Check the phrases as the 'and' is now there after the words 'minute' and 'minutes'. This will work the same with 3.6.8 as it does with 3.7.

It is showing fine on your forumhome page. You can set the starting hit count to whatever you want to in the settings.

That is strange. That should have been there unless the phrases didn't get replaced.
