Installation Instructions:
1. Upload the forumhome_pagehits.txt file to your domain root directory.
2. Upload life_status.gif to the images/misc folder on your site.
3. Upload site_life.js to the clientscript folder on your site.
4. Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugin System'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the product-site_lifestatus.xml file on your computer
5. Go to your Admin CP
Step 3: Go to your Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Help Site Life Status and set the following options:
--Site Life Status Enable: Enable/Disable the Site Life Status.
--Site Life Status Startup Date: Enter your site startup date.
--Site Life Status Automatic Template Replace: Click yes to have the template automatically edited.
--Site Life Status Pagehits File Path: Enter the DOCUMENT_ROOT path for the forumhome_pagehits.txt file.
If you don't know what your DOCUMENT_ROOT path is, go to the Admin CP and in the left column look for:
'Maintenance -> View PHP Info -> Apache Environment -> DOCUMENT_ROOT' and you should see something like this:
/home/boofo/public_html
So the line you would enter for this setting would be:
/home/boofo/public_html/forumhome_pagehits.txt
Substituting the path you found for your site.
NOTE: You must chmod 777 the forumhome_pagehits.txt file so it can be written to when updating the pagehits.
NOTE: You are done unless you opted to do the manual template install. If you chose Site Life Status Automatic Template Replace, there is no need to do the manual template edit in the install file.
Done!
Enjoy!
