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 guess that would be a logical thing to do, wouldn't it? I didn't, no...I tested it quick and then just set it back to the default install (which I'm quite happy with). I'll try to check that tonight.

Yeah nevermind...I have no idea why (unless 3.6.1 fixed something?) but it works fine with the variable now.

This is probably a dumb question but I'm trying to make this mod display to admins only.

I do not see:
$config['Microstats']['adminonly']

in here:
plugin manager --> microstats --> edit

I found something close, but not exact & tried changing it and got errors.

Any help would be much appreciated.

For enable this mod Adminonly you need to edit your config.php file .
Open ./forum/includes/config.php & put this code anywhere above ?>

// ****** MICROSTATS OPTIONS *****
// Setting this variable to anything will make microstats display itself only to administrators.
$config['Microstats']['adminonly'] = true;

Thanks for you help, Icy... that worked.

I viewed this thread and kept seeing config.php but was thinking it didn't come with the modification, lol... didn't realize they meant vb's config file.

Microstats! lol - I searched for everything but! I've been looking for this for a while . . . *Installed* and a it's very, very helpful tool. Thank you.

As for the "Modification Questions" forum, where I posted my original request for info on this (and got no reply) . . maybe they should take a lesson from IPB, since it was one of their users that told me where to find this!

3 words was all I needed: "search for microstats" - but did the folks here bother to tell me? 3 words to help someone out, and no-one could be bothered - that sucks.

Anyway, thanks again to ShiningArcanine for this hack - it's much appreciated.

I get this when in usercp, is that bad? (The bit in red)

You can use this info to edit the hack, that uses this template, so as to cache it ...
