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.

Did you check out my forumdisplay stats hack yet?

Also, you DID vote this hack for hack of the month for March, right?

Do you guys get anything out of having your hack be the "hack of the month"? I never understood this.

Also, your change fixed the forum name error. ty

Wow that forumdisplay thing is cool, I installed it the moment I layed eyes on it.

As for hack of the month, its quite the achievement if out of all the hacks yours gets picked for hack of the month.

Boofo · #**156** 03-26-2004, 11:50 PM

No, because the queries aren't hard on the server and they are quick.

Not really. It's just a nice recognition for hackers that says "Job well done" and that others appreciate his/her work.

I just released an update to the Forumdisplay Stats hack where the template now matches the one for this hack.

Well, yes and no. Usually it is a real honor to be voted hack of the month but since vB3 Gold just came out, there aren't as many hacks in the running right now so there isn't a lot to choose from. But it would still be nice to win.

I found a small typo :P

Instead of "since your list visit" it should say "since your last visit" :P

I'll fix that, thank you for spotting it.

I think we have come up with a fix for the percentage problem, but I need to have someone test it that has a large board. Try this and let me know if it fixes this one percentage. If it does, I will post the rest of the fix for this.

In Index.php

Find:

PHP Code:


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

and replace it with:

PHP Code:


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

Find:

PHP Code:


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

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

    else

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

and replace it with:

PHP Code:


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

Let me know how it goes.
