vBMicrostats

Finally, the vBMicroStats product for vBulletin 3.5.4 is here.
The previous versions of my mod were very solicited by vBulletin administrators...
I hope you will enjoy this new version as much you did the other ones.

Looking for VB 3.6.x version? It is here.

This mod with 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:
? Server memory usage per page (in Kb)
? DEBUG mode status
? Browser GZIP library compression status
? Server average loads
? Uncached templates (useful to troubleshoot the code)

The code modifications listed below were tested into a clean installed vBulletin board. They work 100%.
If you encounter any problems, feel free to post your questions here.

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

I tried to use the plugin system as much as I could, in order to avoid any unnecessary code modifications.
In order to set the right query execution time, you will need to perform 2 small code changes to each of the following files:
? class_core.php (folder /includes)
? init.php (folder /includes)

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-plugin_vbmicrostats.xml file.

Once the product installed, don't forget to enable it.
Go to your vBulletin Options, click on BB MicroStats setting group and set all your options.

Since I did not wanted to get into extra calculations, I simply removed the process to ease the server and stop piping through grep the hole activity log.
Trust me, it's better this way now.

If you guys really want it, I could post the mod here, but I will not insert it into the original code. Performance wise is not recommended.

In a bit, Bobby. I will look into it next week, I promise.
Send me by email: webmaster AT adolympics DOT com
the php files that give you trouble.

So how do I fix it eh?

Where are you getting 30-34 queries at? And what are you getting on the forumhome now?

[TECK]

Probably from a frontpage like vbAdvanced, not vBulletin ...

CP, go to Admin CP and disable completly vBMicroStats.
Do you see {microstats} displayed at the bottom of your page?
If you do, ask any fellow vb.org members that they know you to PM you the modified files.

You tried this on an unmodified forum?

I'm using vbadvanced and my home page is only running 15 queries. Of course all I have is the header and the login, but it is down to 15 queries.

i disabled it and dont see it, i then enabled it and i see it only in my default skin it is showing at the bottom left corner, but not on my current live skin? i also applied the template changes to all the skins and still no work? only dosent show on current live customised skin.

Ok, so we know at least that the variable {microstats} is there, in some of the skins.
Now we know for sure it's related to code editing the files. I would strongly recommend to install in your PC an unmodified board, then apply the code changes in the order mentioned into the help file.

Bobby, aka Boofo, had this instal;led into his forums with several skins, no problems. I remember he was mentioning a similar problem, stats not displaying... it was simply not adding the {microstats} into the right template.
