Board Optimization - vBMicroStats

This hack will add at the bottom of each vBulletin (powered) page, the statistics listed below.
Also, it will help you troubleshoot and optimize your vBulletin board by viewing or comparing PHP/MySQL options and other statistics that are normally hidden in your forum pages.

Regular Users:
? Load time of specified page in microseconds
? Number of queries executed
? PHP percent page usage
? MySQL percent page usage

Administrators Only:
? Active users browsing the forum (members and guests) new in 1.1.0
? Server memory usage per page (in Kb)
? Display DEBUG mode status
? Browser GZIP library compression status
? Server average loads
? Uncached templates (useful to troubleshoot the code)

The code modifications were tested into a clean installed vBulletin board. They work 100%.
The hack was tested in vBulletin 3.6.4 and 3.6.5.
If you want to test it into a lower version (3.6.x), let me know.
Also, if you encounter any problems, feel free to post your questions here.

Step by step install instructions are posted into readme.html file.
In order to perform an efficient modification of your files, I recommend you to use Komodo Edit or Textpad.
Both editors will allow you to complete all steps without any coding errors.

The code changes are very safe and designed not to interfere in any way with the vBulletin performance/functionality.
Make sure you modify, save and upload one file at the time to your server.
Then, simply run the product-vbmicrostats.xml file.

[high]The PLUGIN itself is DISABLED by default.[/high]
This was done in order to make sure you properly edit your code first and to avoid surprises.
You will need to enable it, once your code modifications are completed:
Plugins and Products > Manage Products > vB Microstats > Enable (dropdown)
Then, go to your vBulletin Options, click on BB MicroStats setting group and set all your options.

Upgrade to version 1.0.2.
Upgrade to version 1.0.3.
Upgrade to version 1.1.0.

Want to be a guinea pig and try this hack into a higher vBulletin version?

My hack has nothing to do with your current problems.

However, I will help you if you want, but into a new thread. In this way we don"t highjack the current thread. PM me the link.

I strongly recommend you to cantact VB Team, they have a set of toold to clean your board of all hacks in no time. Then, once everything works fine, start installing the hacks one by one and see what causes problems.

Also, make sure you always ask in the forums if you are not sure of something.
Look at the mess you are into.
Still, you have to relax, it's just code, you will not lose any data. It's just few annoyng steps you have to go through, that's all. See you on the other side of the thread.

I already started a new thread since i already had hijacked this one. Yes your help would be much appreciated here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...10#post1198310.

Installed perfectly! Questions:

Unchached Templates
Display all used templates and identify any unchached ones.

What's so important for this one?

&

On forum home i have 19 queries, is that bad?

[TECK]

If you add any mods and you forget a template to cache it, it will add an extra query for each.
In other words, you can endup with a bunch of queries performed for no reason.
19 queries on your forumhome... considering that you should have max 10, ya is bad.

[dbirosel]

So how do i find out if i need a template to cache? I don't really get caching. lol.

I just know having too many queries is bad. Sorry im a noob. Can someone help me out here?

Some hacks add queries with templates cached though.

Install this hack, and look at the bottom right corner it will tell you if you have uncached templates.

This worked fine at the beginning, suddenly i'm getting this

100 % PHP en 0 % Mysql
I'm getting this on every page, any idea why??

[TECK]

Check your code edits.

Thanks for porting this over to 3.6 Teck, I've been waiting for your version of this hack! How can I separate the parts of the admin template so that it is on multiple lines instead of all on one line? I like this format:

gentime
server load
users/templates/mem/etc...

Can this be accomplished easily?

[TECK]

Yes, it can. Look into the XML file at the bottom, where you have the template listed.
Edit it the way you like it.
Then, uninstall the current hack and reinstall it again, using your new XML file with applied modifications.
