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.

I call the $footer template to be displayed on those pages and the edit is in there.. it shows up in the source like this <!-- {microstats} -->

Attach your .php file here.

I made a template for the page and then used

ob_start(); 
include('league_includes/file_include.php');
$breakdown_inc = ob_get_contents(); 
ob_end_clean();

And called $breakdown_inc in the template

It's probably not the best way but it's working for me.

Thank you!

[nymyth]

anychance we can have it like the older version, where it would sit at the bottom. Also how do we make it so only admins see any information...

Thanks.

This break my site's XHTML validation.

there is no attribute "colspan".

<div class="stats" colspan="2">

Any easy way to fix this?

You can edit the template the way you like it.
Look into plugin code for user and admin templates.
