What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps me know how many people are using my work, giving me extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

I appreciate the support!

Nice work Ozzy.:up:

I sent you a PM on my site regarding this. :)

Yep.Got it.

Good deal.

Wow. Downloaded and installed three of your MODs today.

I like the 'little gems' you come up with. Small, but big in value.

Marked as installed, and rated 5 stars.

Thank you again.

LOL. Glad you like it, thanks for rating, nominating and marking as installed. :)

Does this require "exec"?

What is that?

If you mean, http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php

This mod should not require anything you don't have already.

Mod installed but I can not see the results anywhere

Have you selected who can view it? In the options....

They should show up on the online.php page. Make sure your user is in a group that you set in the mod's options, or you set your userid.

great mod ozzy :) would it be possible to have it at the very bottom of the forum above vb branding?

I might be possible, I'll look into it for a future update.

I see the text:

Server Load Averages: , ,
Server Up Time: ,

But no stats show up. Maybe because im running my site on a windows based server (Windows Server 2008R2)?

Most likely, I don't think it will work on a windows server.

Marked as installed. Works just fine. Thanks.

I have a question though, what do the server load figures actually mean? For example, here is what I see on mine:

Server Load Averages: 0.13, 0.04, 0.06
Server Up Time: 150 days, 6:53

What does the number 0.13 actually mean, is this high or low or whatever?

0.13 is a pretty low server load average. You can learn more about those server load numbers here

Great stuff, thanks.

Glad you like it, and thanks for marking as installed. :)

Yeah, I figured that was the problem.

Ozzy,
installed your MOD and did the settings as required.
However I get also the
Server Load Averages: , ,
Server Up Time: ,
problem.

We are on a regular Apache server

Not sure, have not run across that on a linux system before.

Microsoft released an 'uptime.exe' many years back -- it might still work. Today, many admins handle this through 'power shell' on windows servers, although there are a quite a few alternate methods. If you can get some feedback from the users here, maybe we can gain a picture of what the windows hosts are recommending for a "loading response". A good host will have already established a response method.

I run my own dedicated server though. So there isn't any host that manages my machine.

Sorry, I am not sure what you are referring to, or your point?

:)

Interesting development ....

I had this working perfectly on Vers. 4.1.7

I've now upgraded to Vers. 4.2.3 Publishing Suite. Now it doesn't appear to be working. Yes, I did re-enable the plugin.

Possibly something I did somewhere but maybe there is some issue with 4.2.3

No big deal but maybe you might want to have a look at it.

I have it working fine on v4.2.2 pl2

I have it running fine on 4.2.3 beta 3..

Fair enough, possibly something I've done somewhere but I have no idea what. It would be interesting to know if anyone else with 4.2.3 has a similar problem.

Possibly disable all your other mods and see if the issue is resolved.

Any chance a future update might include displaying it on the forum home page ?

Possibly, but IMO that is just clutter on there, and would not be as easily viewable as it is on the online.php page. Another advantage to it being on the online page, is the page auto refreshes, giving you more up to date numbers. :)

Most VBulletin forums are full of clutter :). The "whats going on" box has number of members, number of guests, most users ever online, etc etc and I though server load and server uptime would be a worthwhile stat inclusion. As a reasonable sized forum (600K posts,60k members), we do regular mailouts that refer members to a particular thread which can send our server load up and down a bit so it would be interesting to both members and staff.

On a seperate note, keep up the good work :)

Now that I think about it more, you should be able to add the following to any template, to get the display.

Indeed you can. Here its displayed on my navbar

Well there you go. :)

Well, this installed fine but shows no stats. Show the text from the mod but all stats are blank.
