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;

Yes, just modify the plugin to place its code next to something other than </body>. I might make it possible to write this into config.php in a future version so it isn't necessary to have custom versions of the plugin.

What version of vBulletin are you running, can you tell me how to reproduce that and are you sure that it was caused by the microstats plugin?

It doesn't display the load average, when you have activated and not correct the PHP settings open_basedir and/or safe_mode. Please take a look at the PHP manuals.

The old microstats hack for vBulletin 3.0 has used the command uptime to read the load average, but the new microstats plugin for vBulletin 3.5 uses cat /proc/loadavg like vBulletin itself does.

I got the same error when I copy & paste.
Try just saving the file from IE.

Nice plugin!

I've released version 1.1.0. This should display uncached template names, load averages on Linux systems when /proc is not available and makes the code look a little nicer.

Nice.

But I would do a little cosmetic change.

Find:

PHP Code:

$serverload = ' [Server Loads: <b>' . $regs[0] .'</b> ' . $regs[1] . ' : ' . $regs[2] . ']'; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

$serverload = ' [Server Loads: <b>' . $regs[0] .'</b> : ' . $regs[1] . ' : ' . $regs[2] . ']'; 


You have to change this two times.

Getting this now on one of my boards..

Page generated in 0.14820 seconds with 9 queries [Server Loads: average: 0.04, 0.20, 0.25 0.04 : 0.20]

However, the other board is showing it just fine.
