vbMicroStats: page load time, queries, GZIP and PHP version

[high]Looking for VB3 version? Is here.[/high]

This hack will add at the bottom of each vBulletin(powered) page the following stats:
- load time of specified page in microseconds (with custom no. of digits to show)
- number of queries executed
- server GZIP library compression status
- vBulletin DEBUG mode
- PHP version
- PHP percent page usage
- MySQL percent page usage
- Server Load
[high]This is not only estethic, it will also help you troubleshoot any wierd queries that you have in your scripts.
The hack is template based so you can edit it the way you want in few seconds.[/high]
NOTE: From users experiences, this hack will work only with PHP 4.0.6 or higher. Let me know if it works with a lower PHP version.

THE FIX FOR VB2.3.0 IS HERE.

HACK UPDATES
Version 2.1
------------------------------------
Changes:
- added Server Load

NOTE: I spoked with Kevin 'tubedogg' from vBulletin Support team and he explained to me that not all the servers are configured to support the [high]@exec("uptime")[/high].
Contact your host for more details and ask them about this issue.
For a full explanation of your 3 server load values, read more here.

*If you want to have the stats viewable only by admins, read this post.

Version 2.0
------------------------------------
Changes:
- added vBulletin DEBUG Mode
- removed the Details link
- cleaned a little the code to match VB2.2.6
- better explanations into the install file.

Version 1.7
------------------------------------
[high]VB2.2.5:[/high]
Minor change in admin/db_mysql.php. Read more here on how to update your hack.
Minor change in forum/global.php. Read more here on how to update your hack.

Changes:
- corrected negative values on certain servers.

Version 1.6
------------------------------------
Changes:
- PHP version and GZIP library status viewable only to admin.
- added a link to Detailed Stats View (generated by vBulletin), for that specific page. Only admins can view that link.

Version 1.5
------------------------------------
Added:
- GZIP library status is now related to your vBulletion options.

The hack is template based now.
All you have to do is call it with the {getmicrostats} string, anywhere you want (for example in footer).
You also have the choice to install it as template based or coded directly into your functions.php file.

Version 1.2
------------------------------------
Added the PHP and MySQL page percentage.
(Addon by Chen 'FireFly' Avinadav)

Version 1.1

vB.org decided to add this hack to their board.

Are you using Dreamweaver by any chance as your PHP editor?

No, just straight text editors. My first attempt was using vi, next I did it in textpad.

I must have messed up patching the code into admin/functions.php, and I wonder if it was because I was confused by these instructions from vbmicrostats_vb230.txt:
| NOTE: Don't forget to remove the empty space in front of 'hovercolor'.
This shows up after the dooutput function patch, and I really don't know why there would be instructions to remove a few spaces, couldn't they have just removed the spaces from the replacement code?!

Thanks for replying, Gary and Gio. I have never applied a hack that somebody else wrote, but I have written code around vB myself. I wonder if I am missing something because of my inexperience with these types of hacks. Does anybody release patches as .diff files? It seems like that would be nice for more experienced users.

You had to manually remove the spaces, because the board used to change the {hovercolor} to the replacement set here. What's the error you're getting?

Ahh, that makes sense with the { } replacements. I got a completely blank, white screen when I uploaded my changed files. I will probably need to turn on php error reporting on to find out more about the problem.

It works just fine on vb232 I'm running it.
Make sure you follor the instructions carefully.
Forexample removing the white space in the script as it says too.
Also remember there's 2 versions the template and non-template version.

If you have a problem using the template version remove "home_ " from the name of the template. Its a typo.

i want to do the template one but its so complicated i dont know which part is for which
