TECK

TECK,

Im not sure what I'm doing wrong. Did fresh install of both vB and vbhome and with all options on (pm and poll) and placing the get_microstats template in the $templateused area Im pulling 22 queries.

Turning off pm and poll gives me 20 (I know that doest add up since pm is 1 and poll is 2) turning on just pm still leaves it at 20.

Turning off pm and turning on poll gives me 22 and turning on pm and poll off gives me 20.

And you are correct vbhome 3 gave me like 14 log in and 13 as guest. I am unsure where these additional queries are coming from.

I will mess around a little more and figure out what im doing wrong.

Thanks for all your help, it is very thoughtfull of you. :)

TECK
09-30-2002, 02:06 AM
it intrigues me to. it doesnt make sense...
i just looked at pimpy's page and it's loading lightning fast...

i dont understand why it's adding extra queries. the only way it adds extra queries if you add new code to your vbHL file, wich is not the case right?
i want you to pm me attached the vbHL file that you have now on the server, i will compare it with mines, ok?

TECK
09-30-2002, 02:09 AM
pimpy? please turn on your poll option and pm's temporary. i need to compare the performance.. thanks.

TECK,

pm is sent.

thank you!!!

TECK

hehe, no wonder you have 20queries. :)

first, you added there the template microstats, that is already cached in the /forum/global.php file (i hope you did add it there).
second you forgot to put a comma after the word microstats, so all the templates after that are not cached anymore... in other words for every template listed after microststs it will load a a query instead, because is not saved in the server memory anymore... :)

do this nokia, remove the microstats. your list of templates should look like this:
$templatesused = 'home,home_articlebits,home_footer,home_header,hom e_headinclude,home_threadbits,home_welcomeguest,ho me_articlecomment,';
$templatesused.= 'home_welcomeuser,home_pollresult,home_polloption_ multiple,home_polloption,home_pollcomment,home_art iclenocomment,';
$templatesused.= 'home_pollresults,home_pollresults_closed,home_pol lresults_voted,home_polloptions,home_pmloggedin';
then, just to be safe, open /forum/global.php and make sure your microstats template is listed like that there:
$templatesused.=',pagenav,pagenav_curpage,pagenav_ firstlink,pagenav_lastlink,pagenav_nextlink,pagena v_pagelink,pagenav_prevlink,home_microstats';

never NEVER, add the template like that, without the comma, if it is in a link string. let me know what's the number of queries you have after... it will be 14 i quarantee you.

and the page will load fast, the way you like it. :)
enable all options and let me know how it does it on your server...

TECK,

Thanks for the check. I did as you stated and yes it dropped 2 queries with both pm and poll turn off from 20 to 18. And the microstats is listed in globals :)

I still dont know what the other 4 queries are.

I enabled all options and my queries are 20. which if funny cuz if pm and poll add 3 together it should be 21?

With the poll option off my page loads under .2 sec but with it on thats when it bogs down to 12 sec.

I still wonder where all these extra queries are coming from.

TECK
09-30-2002, 02:37 AM
it's not the query, orelse it would load really slow on everyone's page. i will ask my friend PPN, who is really good with queries if it's ok everything.

from my knowledge, it looks solid like the way it is now.

PIMPY
09-30-2002, 05:54 AM
umm ya i'll check it soon, but the old custom templates are not for this i ment templates for OTHER things..

k i turned on polls and i found NO difference

still did it at same speed, i think it was like .001 secs diff , avg, some times i got less :P

but whats this about turnning on pms? how/where do i do that? its not in the index.php

TECK
09-30-2002, 11:25 AM
is not the query. i check it in EMS mysql manager and it returned the results in 0.02sec...
redownload the file pimpy. you dont have the "latest" version...
i added like 5min later the private messages, when i released the 3.1.
so go ahead and download it, the password is the same... then read the uninstall procedure for the older version you have:

In, vbHL index.php, find this code:
if ($poll=$DB_site->query_first("
SELECT * FROM poll LEFT JOIN thread ON (thread.pollid=poll.pollid) WHERE visible=1 AND open<>10 $iforumperms $ipollperms ORDER BY thread.pollid DESC LIMIT 1
")) {
replace it with:
if ($poll=$DB_site->query_first("
SELECT * FROM thread LEFT JOIN poll ON (poll.pollid=thread.pollid) WHERE thread.visible=1 AND thread.open<>10 $iforumperms $ipollperms ORDER BY thread.pollid DESC LIMIT 1
")) {
That will avoid the table poll to be scanned entirely to get the poll information you need, increasing the performance.
If your file does not contain the latest query, please update it asap.

Also, still in vbHL index.php, find:
eval("\$articlelink = \"".gettemplate('home_articlelink')."\";");
DELETE that line, it will drop your queries to 14 (17 with all options enabled).

i will do a new release probably tonite... to insert all options you have onto you vbHL page directly into your admin CP, so you change there the news forum, turn the pm's or poll on/off... etc.
and also, i will make an upgrader for all of you who installed 3.1 already.

Marshalus
10-01-2002, 05:26 AM
Wow, that fix did wonders. Dropped 5 queries.

The reason I'm testing out vbHome is because right now I'm running vBPortal at http://www.federationstudios.net and as you can see at the bottom of the page, the query and page load is horrible.

Right now I think its at like 59 querys on the front page. No big deal, if only 2 people are looking at the site. We commonly have 20-30 looking at it at any given time, so that kind of load is not acceptable. As our site gets more and more popular, which is has been very steadily for the last few months, we need a faster more flexable solution.

I have yet to try out the new vBPortal betas, but so far, I'm very impressed with vbHome, and if it keeps working the way I want to, I'll be using it.

One flaw I do see it right now is that when you edit a post that was made on the main page, it is not updated on the main site. It would be very nice if that was added in your update.

TECK

Hey Teck, 2 things:
First you forgot me on your list of people who agreed to the 2 rules.

Second is a question:
Currently the variables $thread[date] and $thread[time] contain the time for when the thread was started. How would I have to change index.php to make them contain the time/date of the last post?

I know it doesn't seem to make sense to change that, but as soon as I've got my vbHome templates finished and vbPortal removed (Yuch!) it WILL make sense ;)

PIMPY
10-01-2002, 01:07 PM
one bug i have found is it not displaying the news post if you have edited anything from vBHome

maybe theres a way to reparse?

TECK
10-01-2002, 03:41 PM
whohoooooooo... :)
i almost finished 3.2...
new features are:
- print article (not the hole thread)
- email article to a friend
- links to favorite sites
- code even further optimised, now with only 15 queries while all options are enabled (11 as guest)
- settings are done in admin cp, no more file editing

btw, i tested the editing thing and it's working perfectly for me. i dont know what you guys are doing?? ;)
anyway, we will see how things go in 3.2 cya in a while...

but let me know if anyone else had the same prob like pimpy. thanks.

LeeCHeSSS
10-01-2002, 04:30 PM
I've got no problem with editing either: But since I'm changing from vbPortal I already had a news forum. The old posts that were made with vbPortal show up on the vbHome page, but WITHOUT content. Any new post I make after switching to vbHome shows up perfectly.

vbHome is living up to my expectations (I'm almost finished with the templates - take a look at the temporary http://www.online-role-playing.com/vbHome/). As you can see the poll thingy isn't working, but I haven't been working on that yet, so I bet I can get it fixed.

EDIT: Btw, I don't want to whine, but could you tell me how to change $thread[date] and $thread[time] to hold the date/time of the LAST post in a thread (as opposed to the first).

TECK
10-01-2002, 04:31 PM
my question is: when you edit a post you made for vbHome, does it show edited? on your vbHome page?
also, can you put back the way it was the vBulletin link? is part of the agreement. thank you.

LeeCHeSSS
10-01-2002, 05:07 PM

And about the vBulletin link: it is there, right? Or am I losing my marbles?

TECK
10-01-2002, 05:11 PM
take a look at the original template please.
there is no need to add a "teckwizards" written aside or to remove the tracking from my referral to vBulletin site.
is just a small favor i ask all of you in exchange of hours of coding to come up with a high quality and free piece of code.

in the agreement is specified that you do not remove or alter the links. you can only remove the version.

LeeCHeSSS
10-01-2002, 05:16 PM
D'oh, I really didn't see you had a referral in there. I'll put it back (although I can imagine that people who want to use their OWN referral won't like that).

I'll remove the teckwizards too (thought it looked better with something next to it, just like the vBulletin link).

Btw, do you have Paypal? I think talent like you deserves some rewards. After all, I use 2 of your hacks.

TECK, it possible to auto reparse that forum? and maybe delete news items?

for example on my page how its not showing the articles, maybe make it so i can do something through the admin CP where it re-checks the current forum.. AND for if you install it and you ahve say 5-6 threads already in a NEWS forum, and you want those to show up.

and deleteing could go along with having a admin type control, where if we are admins we can have quick access to editing, deleting, and so on to the news.

TECK
10-01-2002, 09:58 PM
all functions are based on vBulletin ones. if you can do it from the cp an operation, then you can also do it in vbHL.
i will not write extra functions because that's not my goal. my goal is to have vbulletin everywhere on my site.

about your question, rephrase it because i didnt understend what you want to do, be more specific.

This kind of attitude is admirable in such a hard-working vB hacker. :) TECK deserves the recognition he gets.

PIMPY
10-01-2002, 11:15 PM
well if the question you are refering to is the admin type control, then imagine this.. Next to the title or down at the bottom or anywhere around the news item shown on the index page, there is a few links that are only viewbale to admins. Such as Edit, Delete, and so on. Just so its a little easier. Not doing much i know, just may be more easier for some people.

And for the reparsing, well i'm not to sure myself how this could go, but is there not some wort of way you don't need to do anythign except to find all the contents of the NEWS forum DB, and then check for the first 5-10 or what ever? Like when the forum first loads, it checks the DB for all the threads and such, can you not make the page do that?

TECK
10-01-2002, 11:59 PM
i understand now.. just edit your file yourself is really realllllly easy this.. something like that:
$article[editthread] = '';
if (ismoderator($article['forumid']) or $getperms['canopenclose'] or $getperms['candeletethread'] or $getperms['canmove']) {
$article[editthread] = '<a href="' . $bburl . '/postings.php?s=' . $session[sessionhash] . '&threadid=' . $article[threadid] . '&action=editthread">Edit Thread</a>';
}
however this is just terrible for the performance because of this:
the ismoderator() function performs a query to check and see if you have actually perms to edit the thread. if you place a link like that in the articlebit template, for every article you display it will add a query. so if you display 10 articles you will have 10 queries extra.
it's called query in a loop, the worst thing a coder can do. you can mess a server easy if you have a busy site.

if you want to ruin your page doing what i typed me above, dont come and complain the sever is really slow... :)
--------------
now for the second part related to parsing, i have no idea what you are trying to do or say... sorry.
you want to display an event from a group of forums on a single page? do an array, something like that:
if (in_array($article['forumid'], array(2, 15, 48))) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
or you want to run a query?? to grab them from those forums... ? let me know...

Could this be the problem?

TECK
10-02-2002, 02:16 AM
first you cannot delete the templates if they are customized. you have to revert them to original.. is written in big red letters... bouncer. i recommend you to save the ones you edited to files, then revert them to default.

be aware there are 9 new templates in 3.2 also there is a new procedure that inserts the options.. so from now on i will be able to make just upgrades, due to the new code.
i need you to send me the old installer you have. i will make an uninstaller for you. SEND it through PM. thanks.

also before you download the new file, delete all your temporary files from internet explorer.

Hi TECK,

Great to see v3.2 up. I too am having a problem with the polls. I did a fresh install of vB and vbhl and enabled polls and it shows up as an area in the home page witht he words Total: vote. but no poll?

I will redownload since you posted you made a fix. I will let you know.

TECK
10-02-2002, 02:39 AM
files updated. :)
when you ran the uninstall, did you do it with the new file? or the old one?

bouncer18
10-02-2002, 02:39 AM
hmmm... it shows the box where the poll is.

but when a poll is posted its not updating.

hmm hmm..

here is what i did.

replaced index with this new one.
took original newthread and replaced it

added your tweaks.

took the vbhinstall.php
uninstalled it all
then reinstalled it

took my templates and reverted them to original

then tweaked the image path

still no poll


hehe gotta hate me :)

to start with right foot, i need you to tell what exacly you did with the new uninstaller, what steps you entered? what error you got? etc.

bouncer18
10-02-2002, 02:47 AM
i ran all of them

but it never got rid of the templates or reverted them back to original.

so what i did was manually went back and converted them to original

thats when everythig fell into place.

except the poll. its not updating or showing that a poll exsist in my news forum.

but it does update article showing that a new post was made.

TECK
10-02-2002, 02:49 AM
this doesnt help me bouncer. be specific exacly what step did you perform and how you did it. if you dont remember, we will start on some short test to check the database, ok?
i will send you file that will do this for you.

forget about the poll.. who cares about it?? your database is vital.

Um well I could go the wrong with that question, but im in a good mood right now and I found some humor into you asking me that, lol. Whats wrong with putting three products side by side to make a big decision on wich on you want to use. Im already using vbportals on one site and it does more than jus news. surely vbhome does more than just news if its anything better than the original release :cool:. Now if its a problem with me getting a password to install this on http://localhost , just let me know and I will look else where.

I had vbIndex and had not reverted/deleted the templates (home_yaddayaddayadda), so things weren't working quite well. I tried to uninstall vbHome, but got an error. Tried again, and got another error, although this time it could at least remove the templates.

Then, I reinstalled it. It created the set of templates successfully ("Tables modifications and templates installed successfully."). Then, in the next screen I got this error:

Adding new options group... Done.
There seems to have been a slight problem with the All Pink Floyd Fan Network database.

(yadda yadda yadda)~
Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.8:

And then the page is half missing. I mean, I get the welcome panel, the polls, latest forum discussions and friends and affiliates, but nothing in the main part of the page or anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot,

Ok, I think I nailed the thing down. Even after running the uninstaller, I still had the values (99,'vbHome Page','99') from settingroup. I manually deleted it and reinstalled it and it seems to be working.

Bummer... After so many installs and reinstalls, on my Control Panel I got twice as many options as I should. I got two options of each (two for "Articles Forum", two for 'Number of Articles Displayed", etc.) :(

Great help, guys, the setting.php file did the trick.

I'm still having a few questions: where should I add a poll so it will show on the main page? And also, vbmicrostats is not showing on the main page, so I can see how effective vbHome is and so I can go open a beer in a few minutes to celebrate this.

PS: It certainly loads a whole lot faster than vbIndex....

TECK
10-02-2002, 04:31 AM
you can post in any forum.. i dont recommend you to post on the news one.. since is a news forum.
in home_footer, add at the bottom {getmicrostats}

We are working on the polls script now.

Enable it in admin cp --> Home Section (bottom under options)

To have it show microstats, place it in the footer and it should load just fine. Check the template home_footer

mine isnt there.. it was in an other one..

i did the first hack with no permissions.. when it worked
i deleted the poll in news and it brought the next one back up which was in forum Z

now she is gone.. :( hehe

TECK
10-02-2002, 04:33 AM
ok. so i will fix this. we located the problem. :)
for now, simply remove the $ipollperms from the query and you should be back in business.

SELECT * FROM thread LEFT JOIN poll ON (poll.pollid=thread.pollid) WHERE thread.visible=1 AND thread.open<>10 $iforumperms ORDER BY thread.pollid DESC LIMIT 1

yes you did..

i think its due to

[code]
$ipollperms = 'AND postuserid=' . implode(' OR postuserid=', array(1, 2, 3));
[\code]

wish i could help Teck... i dont know php that well tho

TECK
10-02-2002, 04:41 AM
yep you did... it worked before???? now it's not working?
no bouncer.. is just a variable, if you take it out is like garbage code, it doesnt bother at all.

Ok, I got it up and running but the articles are showing without any words. Check out the screenshot attached to this to see what I mean.

Also, the polls did not work, unfortunately. I've noticed you're already dealing with this, so if you need any details on what is wrong, let me know. :)

Thanks!

see if it shows up when ya do that.

and yes, polls will work tomorrow.. tonight they are not working

10-02-2002, 05:10 AM
Yep, that worked. :) I'm *very* happy with my new vbHome, which should be going online soon. TECK will definately be nominated hacker of the month if that depends on me. This is just super!! Thanks, TECK, for updating this great script and thanks everyone for the help with installing it. :)

BTW, I was just trying to integrate the Welcome Panel, so it would show in the main part (above the articles). Did any of you manage to find a way to do so? I had a hard time with the HTML formatting and ended up giving up so I could go to bed and get some sleep before the morning. :)

I know this is asking alot but...

it the banner section.. is it possible to have it show random banners each time the page is loaded or during a set interval..

make sure you clean your browser cache before...

question is what are YOU doing here

bouncer18
10-02-2002, 05:56 AM
thats what i am using right now

no permissions

long snippet


code? i dont see no code... :)

bouncer18
10-02-2002, 05:58 AM
would it no be easier for you to just make it so site polls cant be posted unless its in the NEWS section...

on my site i have NEWS locked down to no new posts unless your super admin or higher

otherwise you wait for an admin to allow it.

that way you can bypass all the problems with the $ipollperms correct?

TECK
10-02-2002, 06:00 AM
i dont recommend it. because if you have a theme poll that it belongs to a specific forum then you you can discuss it in the right forum and have also the poll on the main page...

bouncer18
10-02-2002, 06:01 AM
then again with the $ipol...etc..

only certain people on "access list" can make it show up on the main page.. so yea, your idea is better (if thats how i understand how it works)

bouncer18
10-02-2002, 06:05 AM
np. done

TECK
10-02-2002, 06:07 AM
thanks. :) so is it working? the poll? like that with no perms?

bouncer18
10-02-2002, 06:10 AM
Yes sir it does

TECK
10-02-2002, 06:11 AM
ok... how but if you add only the $iforumperms
it should work also. the problem is that it doesnt grab all the time the information stored from the vBulletin options.. that's the problem.

$activepollusers is the poll user settings in the admic CP, who can post polls.

bouncer18
10-02-2002, 06:15 AM
correct, now it does not work (added $forumperms)

sorry.. typo

bouncer18
10-02-2002, 06:18 AM
Right now only #1 is on there..

so.. i dont think it would work... want me to try that code anyways?

bouncer18
10-02-2002, 06:20 AM
regardless, i tried it

with both 1
1 2
and 1,2

same as before, no work

10-02-2002, 06:23 AM

its working..

and yea.. this does look like a chat.. amen quick reply

bouncer18
10-02-2002, 06:30 AM
i checked my old instance of the token $ipollperms and they are both the same?????

so for curiousity.. what made it work now and not the few other times before?

Page generated in 0.25461304 seconds (74.72% PHP - 25.28% MySQL) with 17 queries.

i am sure i could cut 2 more out but since i dont got access to phpmyadmin i am stuck

gotta love it tho :) again, fantastic job teck

TECK
10-02-2002, 06:35 AM
ok, leechesss please empty your browser from old temporary files.. just to make sure:
Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files > All offline content > Ok

then download the file. in this way we are sure you get the latest version....

TECK
10-02-2002, 06:37 AM
bouncer, you are not stuck... :)
open config.php and add the debug like this:
$debug = "1";

?>
then do a explain=1 in the thread:
index.php?explain=1

just make sure to remove the debug mode after your are done checking the queries.. but 17queries is about what you get with all options enabled on the page.

LeeCHeSSS
10-02-2002, 06:38 AM
Oh btw, with vbHome 3.1 I got 16 queries even though I had everything activated. Odd eh?

*downloading now*

TECK
10-02-2002, 06:39 AM
i added quite few options.. is normal..
17 is the same like vbulletin page.. so we are ok... ;)
is alot better then 50, i guess...

10-02-2002, 06:42 AM

ahh time online hack

thats where 2 more queries are comming from.

owell.. cant complain..
its better then most

TECK
10-02-2002, 06:43 AM
i made it to dont use any query me.. :) there are ways to sneak around...
i posted in his thread the fix for no queries... and also now to cut down the server load he had before.

10-02-2002, 06:52 AM
Ah thank god, or rather Teck!

I was beginning to worry that with the rate of which he puts out new versions (which is good), I'd have to re-edit the templates ALL the time.

But that looks almost similar to my layout, so.

TECK
10-02-2002, 06:55 AM
bouncer, you have the wrong version or printarticle.php, clean your temp files and redownload the package again :)

leechlesss, from now on i will also release upgrades, with the way i wrote the code now.. :)
so you run the upgrade and you are done.. very fast...
