Microstats - load times, server loads, queries, uncached templates

This is a derivative of Erwin's microstats hack for vBulletin 3.5.0's plugin system. The main difference is that by default it shows the page generation time and query count to the public. Server loads and Uncached Queries are shown only to administrators.

I had sent this to Erwin so he could release if he wanted to but instead he told me that I had permission to release it; hence why I am releasing it.

This should work with vBulletin 3.5.0 RC 1 through vBulletin 3.6.1 and later.

Installation is very simple. Just import the plugin via vBulletin's "Download / Upload Plugins" page in the Plugin System in the Admin Control Panel and you're done.

I'll try to correct any bugs that you find. Let me know if you like this plugin and don't forget to click the install link if you install this.

Optional config.php Variables

$config['Microstats']['replacementvariable']

Setting this variable will make microstats place its data before any instance of whatever you set this variable to. Be careful with this as you might see microstats in mutiple places. My suggestion is to use a unique comment in the HTML source to prevent any issues.

E.g. $config['Microstats']['replacementvariable'] = '<!-- display microstats here -->';

$config['Microstats']['adminonly']

Setting this variable to anything will make microstats display itself only to administrators.

E.g. $config['Microstats']['adminonly'] = true;

Sorry I think you misunderstood my question. But thank you for the quick reply.

I was hoping to keep it the admin group only, but not requiring the admin group to be the user's primary group.

ADMINISTRATOR STATS
- number/name of uncached templates (name highlighted in blue, for uncached template)
- vBulletin DEBUG mode status
- server GZIP library compression status

I fully agree.

Tomek, ManagerJosh, Aftermath - adding in templates, debug, and gzip is extremely simple. However, adding in the percentages of PHP/MySQL usage will require file hacking I believe, I do not think it could be done using hooks. Just FYI.

ack!!

mine is appearing below the HEADER!!! (and at the way bottom footer which is fine).
but yikes!!

how do I get NOT to appear below the header (insignia skin is one that it appears below the header in). :/

I didn't change and of the configurations cause...I'm a n00b and didn't understand how/where I was supposed to do so (from the instructions). doh!

Yeah, the percentages would require file hacking as the plugins are in the database, and there is no way that data in the database (e.g. a hook) could execute before a query has been done.

Do you still need help?

Why does the group chosen to see this have to be their primary usergroup?

I don't quite understand your question. Everyone can see microstats, except only the administrators (group 1) can see the server loads.

Open up config.php, put the following on a line, save it and upload it:

[CPODE]E.g. $config['Microstats']['replacementvariable'] = '<!-- display microstats here -->';[/CPODE]

Then go to the templates and put "<!-- display microstats here -->" where ever you want microstats to be displayed.
