Board start date MOD

[Potku]

Sorry, I forgot to mention it In the above text, there is no space between year and day. Actually, I would prefer the word 'and' between the two.

This is what is running your countdown, I am looking for a different way.

Code: Select all

$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#online").countdown({
      date: "07 Aug 2012, 00:48:13",
      leadingZero: true,
      offset: -1,
      yearsAndMonths: true,
      htmlTemplate: "<span class='cd-online'>and in existence for</span> <strong>%y</strong> <span class=\"cd-online\">Years</span> <strong>%m</strong> <span class=\"cd-online\">Months</span>  <strong>%d</strong> <span class=\"cd-online\">Days</span> <strong>%h</strong> <span class=\"cd-online\">Hours</span> <strong>%i</strong> <span class=\"cd-online\">Minutes</span> <strong>%s</strong> <span class=\"cd-online\">Seconds</span>",
      direction: "up"
   });

Uhmmm, yeah that isn't the code I am using.

The MOD is still not exactly accurate with leap years. Has there been a fix for that? It's not a biggie, just asking.

[Oyabun1]

For those who have a server running PHP 5.3+ and care about leap years being preoperly counted you can replace all the code in /includes/functions_board_start_date.php with this code:

Code: Select all

<?php
/**
 * @package board start date
 * @version 
 * @copyright (c) 2012 RMcGirr83 & 2015 Oyabun1
 * @license http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php GNU Public License
 */
/**
* @ignore
*/
if (!defined('IN_PHPBB'))
{
    exit;
}

/**
 * board_start_date
 *
 * @return the start date of the board and time in years, months and days
 *
*/
function board_start_date ()
{
    global $config, $user;
    
    $board_for = '';
    $started = new DateTime($user->format_date($config['board_startdate']));
    $today = new DateTime($user->format_date(time()));
    $board_length = $started->diff($today);
    $byears = $board_length->y;
    $bmonths = $board_length->m;
    $bdays = $board_length->d;

    if ($board_length)
    {
        if ($byears >= 1)
        {
            $board_for .= $byears > 1 ? ($byears . ' ' . $user->lang['BOARD_YEARS']) : ($byears . ' ' . $user->lang['BOARD_YEAR']);
        }
        if ($bmonths)
        {
            $bsep = !empty($byears) ? $user->lang['COMMA_SEPARATOR'] : '';
            $bmonths = $bmonths > 1 ? ($bsep . $bmonths . ' ' . $user->lang['BOARD_MONTHS']) : ($bsep . $bmonths . ' ' . $user->lang['BOARD_MONTH']);
            
            $board_for .= $bmonths;
        }
        if ($bdays)
        {
            $band = !empty($bmonths) ? ' ' . $user->lang['BOARD_AND'] . ' ': '';
            $bdays = $bdays > 1 ? ($band . $bdays . ' ' . $user->lang['BOARD_DAYS']) : ($band . $bdays . ' ' . $user->lang['BOARD_DAY']);
            $board_for .= $bdays;
        }
    }

    return ($board_for);
}

?>

This sounds great!

Where did we go wrong here?

Code: Select all

The timezone could not be found in the database

That's the problem. What version of phpBB are you running?

[Potku]

We are still (and for a long time coming, for that matter) with the 3.0 branch. I didn't see a mention about the phpBB version in Oyabun1's post. Our PHP is 5.4.x.x.

[Potku]

So, is this revision only for phpBB 3.1 series?

[Oyabun1]

No. I didn't try it on 3.1.

[Potku]

Hmm... What might have caused that error on our board?

[Oyabun1]

Maybe answer Rich's question?

What version of phpBB are you running?
