vB3 Forumhome Stats Cache Serialize hack v2.2 · **Released**: 02-10-2004

vB3 Forumhome Stats Cache Serialize hack
Version 2.2
(By Boofo)

What does this hack do?
This hack will add some forum statistics to your forumhome that will be cached (to reduce the query load) for a certain amount of time that can be set to whatever you want. This covers most of the stats any forum Admin would use on his site.

Note: This is the setting for the time interval (in minutes) that you want the cache to be updated on. The default value is 10 minutes. The following code is in the index.php part of this hack.

$updatetime = 10;

Once you install the Admin CP setting (at the end of this file), you will be able to update this from the Admin CP vBulletin Options settings.

Credits:
I want to thank Tigga for the original Forumhome Statistics Cache hack for vB2, partly on what this hack is based. I also want to thank EvilLS1 for his time and patience in helping put this hack together. Another thank you goes out to Mike Gaidin for testing this thoroughly while I was putting together this install file. And, finally, thank you goes out to NTLDR, for helping me track down a very stupid mistake on my part which I had overlooked.

Version 2.0 credits go out to g-force2k2 for getting me started on the datastore version of this hack and guiding me through some of the rough parts in the beginning. And also to KirbyDE for answering all of my dummy questions while writing this version and verifying the code when I figured out all of my mistakes. This is my first attempt at using the datastore function but it seems to work better and be easier to code than the older way of doing things.

Version Information:
Version 1.0 --Initial release
Version 2.0 --Completely rewritten using the datastore function for vB3. It now uses "serialize" to store the data and "unserialize" to retrieve the data. There is also now 1 less query when reading from the cache.
Version 2.1 --Combined the "new threads since last visit" and "new posts since last visit" queries into 1 query, thus eliminating another query on cache hits. Thanks goes out to g_force2k2 for this one.

Also added Admin CP setting code so you can change the time interval between cache updates via the Forum Display Option setting in the vBulletin Option in the Admin CP. That code to add is at the end of this file.
Version 2.2 --Added "Top Reputation" statistic (requested by rinkrat ) and totally re-did the template. It looks cleaner now.

New Installation:
Do all of the steps in this file.

To Update Version 1.0 to Version 2.0:
To update this hack you will need to do everything in this file over again except the second query (Query #2). After you have this hack up and running again and you have made sure it is running to your satisfaction, you can drop the statscache table (from version one of this hack) completely. It is no longer needed.

To Update Version 2.0 to Version 2.1:
You will need to re-add the code for the index.php and go to the end of this file and add the setting for the Admin CP.

To Update Version 2.1 to Version 2.2:
You will need to re-add the code for the index.php and replace the code for the forumhome template.

Okay, thanks.

Just our of curiosity, why does it only count the profile views after the hack has been installed. I mean, if I had 1000 profile views before I installed the hack it would only show up as 1 if someone viewed my profile. Or is this just because I updated vB and moved it to another directory so that the URL's changed?

Because profile views aren't counted by default. They are only counted after you run the query and only for anyone other than who the profile belongs to. If it is your profile and you are viewing it, it doesn't get counted, only when someone else views it.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks.

How could I have the second top poster rather than the top poster shown? As I am admin...I have way more posts than anyone else. I would like to show the actual member with the top posts. Any idea? Thanks.

This addon will add a line to your Forumhome Stats to Display the Most Played Game (with a link directly to that game), the highest scorer in that game (the Champion) and his score.

Here we go!

In index.php, find:

PHP Code:


			
    // <!-- TOP REPUTATION -->
    $toprep = $DB_site->query_first("
        SELECT userid, username, reputation
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
        ORDER BY reputation
        DESC LIMIT 1
        ");

BELOW it add:

PHP Code:


			
    // <!-- TOP ARCADE GAME -->
    $mostactive = $DB_site->query_first("
            SELECT COUNT(*) as total, gamesessions.gamename, games.title, games.gameid, MAX(gamesessions.score) as score, user.username, user.userid
            FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."gamesessions
            INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "games AS games ON(gamesessions.gamename = games.shortname)
            INNER JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(games.highscorerid = user.userid)
            WHERE gamesessions.valid=1
            GROUP BY gamesessions.gamename
            ORDER BY total
            DESC LIMIT 0,1
        ");

Find:

PHP Code:


			
    $statscache['lastupdate'] = intval (TIMENOW);

ABOVE it add:

PHP Code:


			
    $statscache['mostactivetotal'] = intval ($mostactive[total]);
    $statscache['mostactivegamen'] = $mostactive[gamename];
    $statscache['mostactivetitle'] = $mostactive[title];
    $statscache['mostactivegameid'] = intval ($mostactive[gameid]);
    $statscache['mostactivescore'] = intval ($mostactive[score]);
    $statscache['mostactiveun'] = $mostactive[username];
    $statscache['mostactiveid'] = intval ($mostactive[userid]);

Find:

PHP Code:


			
    $statscache['topreprep'] = vb_number_format($statscache['topreprep']);

BELOW it add:

PHP Code:


			
    $statscache['mostactivetotal'] = vb_number_format($statscache['mostactivetotal']);
    $statscache['mostactivescore'] = vb_number_format($statscache['mostactivescore']);

Save and upload.

In the forumhome template, find:

HTML Code:

				<if condition="$show['reputation']">
				<tr>
					<td nowrap="nowrap"><span class="smallfont">Top Reputation: <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$statscache[toprepid]">$statscache[toprepun]</a> (<b>$statscache[topreprep]</b> Reputation Points)</span></td>
				</tr>
				</if>

BELOW it add:

HTML Code:

				<tr>
					<td nowrap="nowrap"><span class="smallfont">Most Active Arcade Game: <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/arcade.php?do=play&gameid=$statscache[mostactivegameid]">$statscache[mostactivetitle]</a> (<b>$statscache[mostactivetotal]</b> Total Plays -- Champion: <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$statscache[mostactiveid]">$statscache[mostactiveun]</a> with <b>$statscache[mostactivescore]</b> Points)</span></td>
				</tr>

Save the template.

NOTE: Don't forget to set the update time to 0 and refresh the page so the cache can get updated with the new stats. And don't forget to set it back to what you had it set at after updating the cache.

You're done!
Enjoy!

any idea how to make it work also with ibproarcade? thank you
