Board start date MOD

[Potku]

Which board start date MOD has been used here? It seems a little different from the ones I have come across. I like this one here better

[RMcGirr83]

That is custom code and has not been released.

[Potku]

Well, that explains it Because I didn't see it in the list (MODs installed here). If you should ever want to release it, I am sure many would like to install it right away

Our index looks like this now

OK, the starting date is correct. But then it says 7 years and 5 months days. Okay then...

We are using this MOD: http://phpbbmodders.net/board/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=7035

Maybe there's just a mistake from our part (although I checked the code, but everything's possible). The funny thing is that the output seems to change somewhat illogically. The other day it listed weeks between months and days, but even that wasn't correct since it displayed 4 weeks. That's a month as far as I know

4 weeks is not a month. The correct calculation is 4.33333 weeks for a month (Average Month) but it gets more scientific if you break it down into seconds as many MODS do.

What aboot leap years? ,Mods a duffer does not install via automod.

[Ooopsie]

The average is 4.33333 weeks. It takes leap year into consideration. It's not 100% accurate as using math and divisors. It's just of a quick calculation.

Today is the 21st of May. Potku was founded on 22nd of December (2004). Well, here's what this not-so-accurate formula gives us today

7 years, 5 months and 1 day. Really? [img]http://www.potku.net/forum/images/smilies/003.gif[/img]

Well, it's no biggie. I just thought I'd mention it. And who knows, maybe someone already has a solution to a more accurate method of counting the actual length of time

[RMcGirr83]

I have a different one if you want to try it.

[RMcGirr83]

You can try the attached.

Hello Rich,

I'm right, that your attachment only showing years, months and days? Is it possible to show the hours, minutes and seconds, like your board?

Rich,

I would also like to know what you did to show minutes and seconds. Will you give us a peek?
Thanks

[RMcGirr83]

On here it is using jQuery with a countdown (up?) script.
