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.

No, I meant change the hack colspans for this hack to the same thing as the other ones are for that area of the template.

Ok, guys, let's try this code and see if it fixes our percentage problems.

Change the line that has this in it:

PHP Code:


			
$stats['activepercent']

to the following:

PHP Code:


			
if($stats['activepercent'] > 100) 

{ 

$statscache['activepercent'] = vb_number_format(($numbermembers / $newuserid) * 100 / 1000, 2 ) . '%'; 

} 

else 

{ 

$statscache['activepercent'] = vb_number_format(($numbermembers / $newuserid) * 100, 2) . '%'; 

}

and let me know if this takes care of it.

Owen · #**199** 03-28-2004, 02:04 PM

I can't find $stats['activepercent'] in my code or in the txt installation file...

djohn · #**200** 03-28-2004, 02:06 PM

wow, j00 rock!
got it all fixed!

Now, i have a racther liking-type question. If you look, the legend (Last updated at 04:04 PM - March 28th, 2004) is quite fate from the "line"m where it says "Forumname Statistics". Is there a way to squish them closer together?

Boofo · #**201** 03-28-2004, 02:10 PM

What is fixed?

And no, there's no way to do that. Look at the advanced search box and you will see that is how the panels work in vB3. Sorry.

What percentage codes do you have then?

Ah well, after all it's not something i badly needed. Doesn't matter, thanks for your hack and your support, anyway!

Owen · #**204** 03-28-2004, 02:57 PM

// Ditch the 2 decimal zeros on a whole percent ...
if (($statscache['topposterpercent'] % 10) == 0)
$statscache['topposterpercent'] = vb_number_format($statscache['topposterpercent']) . '%';
else
$statscache['topposterpercent'] = vb_number_format($statscache['topposterpercent'], 2) . '%';

// Ditch the 2 decimal zeros on a whole percent ...
if (($statscache['topthreadspercent'] % 10) == 0)
$statscache['topthreadspercent'] = vb_number_format($statscache['topthreadspercent']) . '%';
else
$statscache['topthreadspercent'] = vb_number_format($statscache['topthreadspercent'], 2) . '%';

This one?

Boofo · #**205** 03-28-2004, 03:13 PM

No above all of that. It would have something like this in it:

numbermembers / $newuserid

Mijae · #**206** 03-28-2004, 03:53 PM

That code isnt in my index.php, or the txt file.

???

Boofo · #**207** 03-28-2004, 03:55 PM

Ok, give me the code you have ABOVE what Owen posted.

Owen · #**208** 03-28-2004, 03:59 PM

$statscache['newthreads'] = intval ($newestthreads[count]) ;
$statscache['newposts'] = intval ($newestposts[count]);
$statscache['newusers'] = intval ($newestusers[count]);
$statscache['getthreadviews'] = intval ($getthreadviews[tviews]);
$statscache['topposter'] = $topposter[username];
$statscache['topposterid'] = intval ($topposter[userid]);
$statscache['toppostercount'] = intval ($topposter[posts]);
$statscache['topposterpercent'] = round(100 * ($topposter[posts] / ($totalthreads + $totalposts)), 2);
$statscache['topstarter'] = $topstarter[postusername];
$statscache['topstarterid'] = intval ($topstarter[postuserid]);
$statscache['topstartercount'] = intval ($topstarter[count]);
$statscache['topthreadspercent'] = round(100 * ($topstarter[count] / $totalthreads), 2);
$statscache['getfileviewsun'] = $getfileviews[username];
$statscache['getfileviewsid'] = intval ($getfileviews[userid]);
$statscache['getfileviews'] = intval ($getfileviews[profileviews]);
$statscache['ref2'] = $ref[username];
$statscache['topreferrerid'] = intval ($ref[userid]);
$statscache['ref'] = intval ($ref[referrals]);
$statscache['toprepun'] = $toprep[username];
$statscache['toprepid'] = intval ($toprep[userid]);
$statscache['topreprep'] = intval ($toprep[reputation]);
$statscache['lastupdate'] = intval (TIMENOW);

there is this...

Boofo · #**209** 03-28-2004, 04:13 PM

Great! Ok, here we go!

Replace these 2 lines in that code:

PHP Code:


			
$statscache['topposterpercent'] = round(100 * ($topposter[posts] / ($totalthreads + $totalposts)), 2);

$statscache['topthreadspercent'] = round(100 * ($topstarter[count] / $totalthreads), 2);

with this:

PHP Code:


			
if($statscache['topposterpercent'] > 100) 

{ 

$statscache['topposterpercent'] = vb_number_format(($topposter[posts] / ($totalthreads + $totalposts)) * 100 / 1000, 2 ) . '%'; 

} 

else 

{ 

$statscache['topposterpercent'] = vb_number_format(($topposter[posts] / ($totalthreads + $totalposts)) * 100, 2) . '%'; 

} 



if($statscache['topthreadspercent'] > 100) 

{ 

$statscache['topthreadspercent'] = vb_number_format(($topstarter[count] / $totalthreads) * 100 / 1000, 2 ) . '%'; 

} 

else 

{ 

$statscache['topthreadspercent'] = vb_number_format(($topstarter[count] / $totalthreads) * 100, 2) . '%'; 

}

and delete these:

PHP Code:


			
// Ditch the 2 decimal zeros on a whole percent ...

if (($statscache['topposterpercent'] % 10) == 0)

$statscache['topposterpercent'] = vb_number_format($statscache['topposterpercent']) . '%';

else

$statscache['topposterpercent'] = vb_number_format($statscache['topposterpercent'], 2) . '%';



// Ditch the 2 decimal zeros on a whole percent ...

if (($statscache['topthreadspercent'] % 10) == 0)

$statscache['topthreadspercent'] = vb_number_format($statscache['topthreadspercent']) . '%';

else

$statscache['topthreadspercent'] = vb_number_format($statscache['topthreadspercent'], 2) . '%';

and let me know what happens. make sure you set the update time at 0 to test this.

YUPS! It works! Thanks man.
