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;

Worked out the answer to my question about moving the microstats working.

What code do I use to show how much of the page generation was PHP and MySQL, like on http://forums.relicnews.com ?

Same here... why no one says what to change? If someone wrote it allready ... where? Thanks!

A very needed mod...

*sigh* i'm getting tired of no support these days. i guess in mods it's up to the developers but i've been fixing bugs myself in vb4 since it's been released. any threads i create for assistance get ignored on vb.org and vb.com.

anyway, for everyone looking for the fix here it is...

Find:

$starttime = explode(' ', $pagestarttime);

Replace:

$starttime = explode(' ', TIMESTART);

I´m getting this issue:

Warnung: ksort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in [path]\includes\functions.php(6783) : eval()'d code (Zeile 30)

Warnung: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]\includes\functions.php(6783) : eval()'d code (Zeile 32)

if this fix works, release a new version for the suite ...

Thanks testbot for the fix! This gives me the correct time.

I have this 2nd issue too, but not so important. Needed only the time for debugging .
If you have a working version on your Server, can you please poste the code from Plugin “Microstats”? This is all, this AddOn is about.

btw: Use Firebug's "Network" for the best survey!

Thanks!

i don't think it would be ethical to reuse someone's code and release their product under my name.
