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 upped the version number to 1.3.0, hope you don't mind.
Also, I changed the replacement variable stuff slightly as vBulletin doesn't seem to like html comments as a default value for a setting.

Is it just a matter of uploading the product file to complete installation? Because I just did that and no stats are appearing on my forum.

As mentioned in the setting, you should place the replacement variable in your footer template..

So if you're using the default setup, just put %microstats% after the copyright stuff.

Hello ,

when i install the hack ,

it's look like in main page ,

Page generated in 4.64159 seconds with 22 queries (1 queries for uncached templates) [Server Loads: 0.94 0.65 : 0.65]
Uncached templates: forumhome_latestthreadbit (10)

is this correct

[Moparx]

its working fine. you need to fix the uncached template you have

Yep, did that and it's working. I as admin can see the stats but my normal users only see the text %microstats%. Any idea how I can fix that?

Interesting.. I'll have to look into that one tonight.


Edit: Fixed.

Sorry about the inconvenience, the attachment has been updated to 1.3.1 and you should just be able to overwrite it via the Product Manager..

Here's one that I made based on the 3.0.x MS hack. I liked how it used the drop-down box style for the cached / uncached templates. Just thought I would share incase someone wanted the older style too. I hard-coded it to use {ms} as the replacement variable, but you can set it to whatever you want quite easily.

Thanks Jason, I'll have a play around with this later - I prefer TECK's layout too.

This was by far the easiest plug and play add on I have put in yet!

Thanks ShiningArcanine for all your efforts. I installed on 3.5.0 and it is flawless and exactly as described. I do have a question though.

We have a few select members with dual identities, and the fact that they are an administrator is hidden from the public. Their primary group is just a public group. Is there anyway at all that we can allow the administrators who are not in the Admin group as their primary? I am not asking you to modify your release, it is great. But if you could just point me into the right line of code?

I actually did contemplate this when I wrote 1.2.x but I decided against doing it at the time because I didn't want to have so much complexity that the plugin would become bloated. You'll want to find the following line:

PHP Code:

if (($vbulletin->config['Microstats']['adminonly'] and $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) or !$vbulletin->config['Microstats']['adminonly']){ 


And change it to

PHP Code:

if (($vbulletin->config['Microstats']['adminonly'] and ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 or $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'] == *)) or !$vbulletin->config['Microstats']['adminonly']){ 


Changing * to the usergroup id.
