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;

I want to use your version Jason, but I havent been able to make it work...

is there any extra steps I need to take, or how do I make the stats appear in my website???

any help would be appreciated....

Is it work 3.6.0 ?

[Mudvayne]

Using it with 3.6 & got no error yet.. Seems working fine for me .. But it would be better if the coder confirm himself about it..

This plugin breaks uploading attachments (i.e. pdf-files) in vBulletin 3.6.0.

Didn't break uploading attachments for me. I'm on 3.6.0, and just re-tested loading and saving an attachment (pdf file).

I can't confirm that. Maybe your Uploadspeed lacks, but for me works all fine
on 3.60 Gold.

You should list this under 3.6 since that is now the main vBulletin software.

Installed and working fine on 3.6, but I'd love to get the replacement variable part to work (I tried it, and it simply doesn't show on the page - I have to leave it as the default)...because I'd like it under my copyright info and not at the very bottom of the page because it messes with some of my custom styles.

I cannot verify that.

I would rather not have to maintain two threads though. I will update the main post though, to specify that.

Are you sure that you edited config.php appropriately and you edited the templates to add the appropriate comment?

Yep, if I do it that way it simply doesn't show up at all.
