Show number of days since forum came online! · **Released**: 01-21-2007

This is an idea I got from somewhere.
It will show the number of days, hours, minutes and seconds since your forum came online in the forum statistics area below.

First open counter.txt, and change the date you opened the forum from the setcountup, and change all what you want until by following all what's written on the counter.txt file.

After that you will need to edit 1 templates:

In FORUMHOME, find:

Code:

			<div><phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase></div>

After if add:

Code:

[THE CONTENT OF counter.txt]

Then click save and your done.

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting ']' in /home/content/c/h/r/christee19/html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3596) : eval()'d code on line 150

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

Welcome to our newest member, kuip50
1 year, 181 days, 12 hours, 5 minutes, and 1 seconds since GLCOTI.COM came online!

It should show the last 3 members... and we already have new members..they dont show.
The new members registered AFTER i installed the counter thing...

I just installed it using the code in post #32 by Feckie (Roger) on 4.2.2 and it works like a charm !

akz645 · #40 01-07-2016, 12:32 AM

Feckie's code still works on vBulletin 4.2.3!

AdminCP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manger -> Forum Home Templates -> FORUMHOME (edit):

Find:

Code:

<p>{vb:rawphrase welcome_to_our_newest_member_x, {vb:link member, {vb:raw newuserinfo}}, {vb:raw newuserinfo.username}}</p>

You can edit that parts in red. You can edit more than that, but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't know what you're doing.
