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;

However, the other board is showing it just fine.

It probably has something to do with your server. I'm not sure what I can do about it. Tell me, did the earlier versions work for you or were you one of the people affected by the no server loads issue?

[sHORTYWZ]

Earlier version worked for me.

Get this though, I have two forums - both on the same box. One of them displays the double, one of them is perfectly fine. Both running same everything.

That is peculiar. I'll think it over a bit more and examine the code in the morning but I'm not sure what is causing the problem.

By the way, are there any configuration differences between the two forums PHP wise or is everything the same?

[sHORTYWZ]

100% the same.

[ShiningArcanine]

Have you tried deleting the plugin and then reuploading it via the xml file?

Edit: Also, could you give me some specifics on your server's configuration? To be specific, I'd like to know your Operating System, PHP Version and MySQL Version.

[sHORTYWZ]

Yup.

Wow, that was a quick response. You responded before I edited my post. ^_^;;

Would you be able to give me me those specifics? They might be helpful in figuring out why you're seeing what you're seeing.
