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;

What you are saying is that all plugin xml is pasted into the same spot? Yes, then it would work to just wrap an if-statement around it. I'll try and let you know the results!


Cheers.

In the plugin manager modify the plugin wrapping it with:

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == <insert id no. here>)
{

//plugin here

}

You'll want to replace <insert id no. here> with the id number you want to display microstats to of course.

I have a problem /proc/loadavg exists and is owned by root, in php.ini i have
allow_url_fopen Off in local and Master, and display_errors On.

The @file_get_contents("/proc/loadavg") and @file_exists("/proc/loadavg") always return false. Apache 2 web server is started by user apache. I need turn on any value in my php.ini tu work this plug ????

Thanks a lot for your help

Aye, wrapping an if-statement around the plugin xml contents works.

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == 28) 
{
...
}

Solved, i need add /proc/loadavg to the open_basedir setting and now work ok

Installed and working great! Good job!

/me clicks install

[PING1434a]

When attempting to install, it gives Invalid File error. Using 3.5 RC2 which was upgraded from RC1

EDIT!:
Oops, didn't read the instructions right, I'm currently playihng around with 3.5, so I'm still a n00b in using the new plug-in system, I kept trying to install it through the product adding menu instead of plug-in adding meu.
