VB3 MicroStats

You asked for... but it was available for VB2 only? There you go, you have it now.

Looking for 3.5.4 version? Get it here.

VERSION 1.2 RELEASED
Basically the only difference you will notice is a dropdown menu that will display the unchached templates.
In this way, you can add it to the cache and save one or more queries.

[high]THIS HACK WAS TESTED IN A DEFAULT, CODE UNMODIFIED BOARD.[/high]

This hack will add at the bottom of each vBulletin(powered) page the following stats:
REGULAR USERS STATS
- load time of specified page in microseconds (with custom no. of digits to show)
- percentages of PHP/MySQL usage
- number of queries executed

ADMINISTRATOR STATS
- number/name of uncached templates (name highlighted in blue, for uncached template)
- vBulletin DEBUG mode status
- server GZIP library compression status
- average Server Loads

[high]This is not only estethic, it will also help you troubleshoot any wierd queries that you have in your scripts.[/high]

IMPORTANT
If you get results like:
Page generated in 3.35731196 seconds (9.05% PHP - [high]90.95%[/high] MySQL) with 17 queries
You probably use a bad piece of code, because vBulletin will never generate those extreme results.
Imagine this: the code uses only 10% the resources to read the actual PHP code and the rest of 90% is used only to scan the tables... WOW!
That means the code forces to read into the database for each user who visits the site at this percentage... if you have 1000 users viewing the page in the same time.. you can get a picture of it...
If you compare this with vBulletin, the software does the opposite, 90% PHP and 10% MySQL... the right way.

DIVISION BY ZERO ERROR? Read this.
INVALID STATS IF MYSQL COMPILED IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE? Read this.

NOTE: The blue highlighting is not working in Opera 7.23 version. (Thanks Christine)

Have fun.

Thanks for the offer, Pseudo.
I should be able to make a little room in my schedule to post all the procedure... but I will tell you that is very simple... it involves no database modifications, only a bunch of new templates and few minor edits in vBulletin files.

Very much looking forward to this kind of Portal ... I am and have been a vBIndex user, and have been happy with it - but I have noticed more server load with greater traffic (only have 2100+ threads, 25,000+ posts, and maybe 30-50 active users a day ...)

Great hack!

But I would like to move the location of the information to below the copyright notice... How do I go about doing this?

Place {ms} in any template and anywhere you want.

When I tried that, it screwed up my templates... I will play with it a little more. Thanks!

[TECK]

You are right, there are some table rows inside the php code...
Post a screenshot when done.

[por4x4]

ok, I placed it in a table, and it works now. Thanks!

Like to ask one question about this wonderful mod (a must to install!): How does one center it like the copyright info?

Someone is bound to want this, so I'm asking.

There is no table class that allow you to do this, in VB css.
Don't use align="center", it's deprecated.

If you have a CSS editor (TopStyle Pro is very good), it will be very easy to make a class for Netscape/IE 4 and add it into your headincludes.

Floren, what does this mean?

Don't use align="center", it's deprecated.

I don't know that word deprecated, I guess. Sorry.
