check your templates. the way is designed the hack, it will not interfere with any blocks.. due to {getmicrostats} variable. there are several users who installed this on phpportals without any problem.

Got it working now...

Page generated in 3.88498294 seconds (7.21% PHP - 92.79% MySQL) with 55 queries.

55 queries... ouch :(

How can I find out why there's so many queries and how to cut that number down?

first congrats on get it working... :)
second, hmm there are your hacks that generate alot of queries. i personally think 55queries is huge, extremly high. your server gets on the red line at 40-45queries.
phportals are known for adding alot of queries. unfortunatelly there is nothing you can do about it, unless you disable as many options as you can.
a decent number of queries should be 25.
that's the only reason i didnt install phpportals. the extreme no. of queries.

btw, did you know that vB3 will have only 12queries? :)

Which of the vbPortal options are we talking about, specifically?

(Just so I've got an idea of things I can try and reduce that huge number of queries!)

@X-Fan: I just visited your forums, and got this:
:eek::eek::eek:

i have no idea. as i said, i never installed phpportals. i know about the options from other users who installed this hack and encountered the same prob as you.

I got my forum index page down to 15 queries. :D That is less than default. And I have LOTS of hacks running.

that's a great job there erwin. you probably tied the 3 pm queries into one, on forumhome page, that will take it down to 15. :)
i wonder how many queries vb3 will have on showthread? that's the only place where we see the highest number of queries performed.

My showthread has 18 queries - that is the bare minimum I can get it down to, without removing hacks I want.

So Erwin, how did you do it? Any advice for us PHP newbies?
