Admin CP UserTools and ServerStats

[TECK]

This hack will replace your server average loads with a more detailed table schema.
The following options are available:
- quick user finder (placed at the top)
- useful links (reorganised)
- members online (now viewable even if your sever is not Linux)
- server type (with php and mysql version)
- server uptime
- host name
- host IP address
- your IP address (port number also)
- load averages
- database (name) usage (data and index)
- attachment usage (if enabled)
- custom avatar usage (if enabled)
- users awaiting moderation
- attachments awaiting moderation

CREDITS: Freddie Bingham
Integration of Admin Quick Stats (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?threadid=37193) options.
I decided to integrate Freddie's hack because I anticipated that several users will ask for it.

ESTIMATED INSTALL TIME: 2 minutes
REQUESTED BY: Nobody
TESTED IN VERSION: 2.2.7

NOTE: If your server does not support @exec('uptime'), the following stats will be disabled:
- server uptime
- host name
- host IP address (only)
- load averages

The way it was written the code before, you couldn't see any 'members online' stats, if you didnt run(host) a linux box. I enabled it so it's viewable all the time.
Also, notice the way it changes the plural of words, based on the value. for example, if the 'hour' value is higher then 1, it will show as 'hours'. This is available for all words that change, depending on the number variable.

NOTE: If you installed PPN's Attachments as Files, read this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?postid=296997#post296997).

My customized Admin CP...
You can see there the user tools and server stats (for v1.1)...

[LawnDawg]

Ooo, nice.

I like pretty much all your hacks Teck :)

[assassingod]

Very nice. I might install this:)

Btw, do you want your I.P to be seen be everyone?

[TECK]

is all dummied the info there. :)
just a demo...

[assassingod]

Ah, ok, cool:)

So, yeah, good hack:) Will install it later:)
*clicks install*

[SpeedStreet]

Is the VB team cool with us getting rid of their credits in the AdminCP? Stupid question I know, since we are the only ones who see it, but I just want to cover all the bases.

[TECK]

one idea i came up with. i could make the hack to make invisible all null values. in other words, to dont show at all the fileds that contain 0 or 0.00 values... let me know if you would like it better this way.

in the license, when you purchase vBulletin it says you can edit the code the way you like it. there is no need for me to clutter my admin CP with 20 links and pointings to the vBulletin site.
so if i feel that my little toe is telling me to remove the vbulletin credits from a CP that is viewed only by me, be sure i will do it in no time.
one copyright at the bottom of the page is enough for me.

also the hack doesnt remove any of the credit links (or whatever...) you dont see anymore on the screenshot. that's why i said my customized CP, not other's. it simply changes the server load to the options you see listed and improves the php code in certain areas.

[SpeedStreet]

I figured as much. Just wanted to touch base with you to make sure.

Your hacks are always awesome, thanks for your hard work.

[TECK]

np SpeedStreet, but is always better to check first:
"did he really removed something from the VB info code, or is only on his CP?"
installing the hack takes 30secs, the way i did it in the install file.

i edit my admin CP the way i want. if i wanna put naked women on it, i will just because i like it. i dont see why VB would care how it looks my CP, as long as i keep the copyright at the bottom...

[Neo]

Nice.

[Tim Wheatley]

Very, very nice!

[TECK]

glad you like it guys... did anyone had problems? the stats work great on apache.

[NTLDR]

No problems here, a very nice addon for the ACP :D

[TECK]

ok, i added now also the user's IP address and the port that he(she)'s using to connect to the server.
Example:

Your IP Address: 27.0.0.1 (port 4300)

find this code:
makelabelcode('Host Name:', hostname());
makelabelcode('Host IP Address:', ipaddress());
makelabelcode('Load Averages:', $serverload);
}

makelabelcode('Database <font face="Courier New" size="2">' . $dbname . '</font> Usage:', $databasesize);
replace it with:
makelabelcode('Load Averages:', $serverload);
makelabelcode('Host Name:', hostname());
makelabelcode('Host IP Address:', ipaddress());
}

makelabelcode('Your IP Address:', $REMOTE_ADDR . ' (port ' . $REMOTE_PORT . ')');
makelabelcode('Database <font face="Courier New" size="2">' . $dbname . '</font> Usage:', $databasesize);
voila, youre done. now you can also check your current IP, in case you need it.

i will update the .txt file right now.

INSTALL!!!

[isman]

Not sure what happened but I replaced the code you said with your code and it totally hosed my admin.

It now gives me some screwed view of the forumhome.

Have there been some revisions i missed?

[TECK]

you edited /forum/ADMIN/index.php, not forum/index.php right?
your forumhome will look wired if you edit that file instad of the admin index.php one.
and the code does not interfer at all with the forumhome. the hack basically show you some useful stats on your home admin page, that's all.

I gotta a little confused there briefly. Uploaded the wrong index file.

I'll be all right after the two pots of coffee wears off a bit.

]By the way, very nice hack with a lot of nifty info for admin who cares about his server/forum.

Nice stats and the idea itself :) Thumbs up, TECK! ;)

I had to edit some stuff tho' as I store my attachments outside of my database... Anyway, great work :)

* wooolF[RM] clicks *install*

[Chris M]

Yeh...

I now get 0.00Mb for Attachments, as I use PPN's "attachments as files" malarky thing...

Whats the correct fix?

Satan

[TECK]

you wont be able to see it becasue is not stored in the database the information. you should remove the line for attachments in stats.

[Chris M]

Ok...

I removed one of the lines...

This one : $attach = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT SUM(LENGTH(hash)) AS size FROM attachment");

Satan

[Chris M]

Ah...And this line too for those who need to or want to :

makelabelcode('Attachment Usage:', kbtomb($attach['size']));

Satan

[TECK]

i use a different approach me to eliminate completly the lines that have 0 values.
for example, if my specific line it has either "0.0 MB" or "0", i use a line like that:
if (kbtomb($attach['size']) != '0.0 MB') {
makelabelcode('Attachment Usage:', kbtomb($attach['size']));
}
or
if ($newusers['count'] != '0') {
makelabelcode('New Users Today:', $newusers['count']);
}
i added this condition to all functions that might give me 0 values. just a tip for those who want to have it more compact the information.

[Chris M]

Cool...:)

call it laziness, not other thing. if you install a hack, at least give credit to the hacker.
one more time, thanks satan your all.

floren.

[Mutt]

modified it to work with attachments af files


replace this
$attach = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT SUM(LENGTH(filedata)) AS size FROM attachment");
with this
function dirsize($dir) {
$dh = opendir($dir);
$size = 0;
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false)
if ($file != "." and $file != "..") {
$path = $dir."/".$file;
if (is_dir($path))
$size += dirsize($path);
elseif (is_file($path))
$size += filesize($path);
}
closedir($dh);
$mgs_size = sprintf('%.2f',$size/1048576) . ' MB';
return $mgs_size;
}

then replace this
makelabelcode('Attachment Usage:', kbtomb($attach['size']));
with this
makelabelcode('Attachment Usage:', dirsize($attachpath));

thats it! this new function will handle any totaling up all of the file sizes in that dir and will check for any sub directories.

I used the same function to total up uploaded profile pics and sig images.

[TECK]

very nice Mutt... i learn from everyone something, every day.
chris?? you wanna try it in your board since you request it? :)
let us know if it worked great, as i assume... so other users will use the code to.

ok, i added a link in the first post. :)

Great. That's what I needed to know. Might install this one when I get a little time.

Thanks for the hack!

[N9ne]

I have a problem: at the top of the table for all the stats, I get this error :(

Warning: fopen("/proc/sys/kernel/hostname", "r") - Permission denied in /home/*****/*********/*******/admin/index.php on line 199

I've *'d out some details.

if ($fp = fopen('/proc/sys/kernel/hostname', 'r')) {

That's line 199...

Could be to do with that path thing there?

[N9ne]

bump...

[kreatiV]

Got the same Problem as Tha Rock:

[CRego3D]

very nice :D .. I am using it :)

quick question, is there a way to put user tools UNDER site statistics .. (instead of the other way around)

[KaiN6993]

Teck, is this already incorporated into the file from the first post? If not, can it be? :)

[TECK]

Is not Boofo... but it can be done really easy. Follow the same guidelines like on the quoted post above. For example:
if ( $newusers['count'] != '0' ) {
makelabelcode( 'New Users Today:' , $newusers['count'] );
}

If you expect a null value or 0.0MB, use the IF condition to show the line only if is NOT equal to that value...

[Boofo]

Got it! Thank you. :)

[Attrox]

Oh damn, this is an awesome hack...I'll have to install it after work. :) *bookmarks*

[Bison]

A question about this hack ... how ... if possible, can you get the "Server Uptime" and "Server Load" to appear ... on a NT Server?

[VeoMorphine]

i dont think it works on vb 2.2.9

it gives me a parse error:
Parse error: parse error in /www/html/forums/admin/index.php on line 1

I tryed installing a few times on a CLEAN v 2.2.9 admin/index.php

[Boofo]

It works on 2.2.9. That's what I'm running it on. ;)

[VeoMorphine]

think i can get a copy of your index.php?

Installed and running great.

is it possible to drag Bandwidth useage the same as you do Server uptime, or is that completely different?

[Intex]

How do you configure your server to support the uptime features? I'm running Apache.

[Logik]

This is a pretty nice hack.. I like it :)

[Mutt]

Earlier, I posted directions for getting it to work with attachments as files. I've updated the function so it's a little nicer and handles errors better. Now if you have the dir path set wrong, safe mode is on, or you don't have permission for some reason, you'll get "NA" instead of a nasty looking error. Plus It now tells you how many files there are instead of just total file size. I use this to read server dirs, custom avs as files, attachments as files, profile pics, and sig pics. If you already installed this before, just replace the old dizsize function with this one

UPDATED : modified it to work with attachments af files

replace this
$attach = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT SUM(LENGTH(filedata)) AS size FROM attachment");
with this
function dirsize($path) {
$totalsize = 0;
$totalcount = 0;
if ($handle = @opendir($path)) {
while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
$nextpath = $path . '/' . $file;
if ($file != '.' && $file != '..' && !is_link ($nextpath)) {
if (is_dir ($nextpath)) {
$result = dirsize($nextpath);
$totalsize += $result[size];
$totalcount += $result[count];
} elseif (is_file ($nextpath)) {
$totalsize += filesize ($nextpath);
$totalcount++;
}
}
}
closedir ($handle);
$totalsize = sprintf('%.2f',$totalsize/1048576);
$mgs_size = $totalcount.' files : '.$totalsize.' MB';
} else {
$mgs_size = "<em><font color=#FF0000>NA</font></em>";
}
return $mgs_size;
}

then replace this
makelabelcode('Attachment Usage:', kbtomb($attach['size']));
with this
makelabelcode('Attachment Usage:', dirsize($attachpath));

don't look at the number of lines and try to compare to yours... the main idea is to chmod + chown /proc/sys/kernel/hostname to the same uid as your webuser (vbb)

[wooolF[RM]]

actually I can say it in other words :

u must :

a) run index.php as root and then u'll get rights to run uptime commands (which is owned by root)

OR

b) make uptime command owned by your webuser (same uid as vbb user)

OR (dunno if possible)

c) let uptime command be run as root and as webuser
