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.

Boofo sent me instructions on how to fix the percentage problems and it worked out nicely, expect a fix soon

Owen · #**243** 04-05-2004, 11:53 AM

ah cool, I am in need of that too.

Boofo · #**244** 04-05-2004, 11:58 AM

PM me and I'll give you the code. I would like to test it on yours, too, to make sure it is right.

Owen · #**245** 04-05-2004, 12:49 PM

Just go ahead and PM me

I'll check it out.

Boofo · #**246** 04-05-2004, 01:35 PM

No, because I need you to test it out as soon as you get it so we can put it back like it was before it messes anything up if it doesn't work. When you're ready, let me know. I need your full attention while we are doing this.

Owen · #**247** 04-05-2004, 01:39 PM

I am on msn, you dont seem to be online though...

Boofo · #**248** 04-05-2004, 01:41 PM

You'll have to give me a few minutes. I'm right in the middle of helping someone with a hack.

blakkboy · #**249** 04-05-2004, 10:07 PM

Great hack, Boofo, but ...

... percentages still don't work (yes, I applied the changes you suggested.)

... I have a style-problem. The stats window is displayed in some sort of default vBulletin style in all my six styles to which I applied the modified FORUMHOME template (see screenshot.)

Do you have a fix for this?

Do you have a fix for this?

1. Fix for my style problem (might not be universal but did the job for me):

In the FORUMHOME template, replace:

HTML Code:

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_stats" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_stats]">
<tr>
	<td class="panelsurround" align="center" colspan="6">

	<table class="panel" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" width="100%">
	<tr>
		<td align="$stylevar[left]">
			<fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:0px">

With:

HTML Code:

<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_stats" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_stats]">
<tr>
	<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/stats.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_statistics]</phrase>" border="0" /></td> 
      <td class="alt1" align="center" colspan="6">

	<table class="alt1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" width="100%">
	<tr>
		<td align="$stylevar[left]">
			<fieldset class="alt1" style="margin:0px">

2. Fix for the incorrect displayed percentages (not universal, works probably only for certain larger boards):

This fix is a modification of Boofo's modification which you can find here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=208

In index.php replace:

PHP Code:


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

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

With:

PHP Code:


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

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

And delete this:

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) . '%';

Boofo · #**252** 04-06-2004, 07:39 AM

Ok, I had a fix for the percentage code but yours might actually be better. Let's have a few of the larger boards try it and see if that fixes it for sure. If it works for the rest of you, I will update the hack with both changes. Thank you, sir.

Nj?rd, where were you when I was tearing what little hair I have left out coming up with a fix for the percentages? You could have saved me some hair.

This is not really an acceptable fix I fear ... I just removed the if ... else conditionals from your solution because it didn't work for me. If for anyone then mine will just work for larger boards. :|

What exactly does 1 Uncached Template mean?
Does that uncashed template do any good/bad to my board?

Boofo · #**255** 04-06-2004, 04:21 PM

An uncached template adds an extra query. Which template is uncached? If you followed the instructions in the very first part of the hack, then the templates are cached for this hack. You might want to recheck it.

BarBeQue · #**256** 04-06-2004, 05:48 PM

Sweet hack boofo!

Always wanted stats but never liked the amount of queries it added (you load them 10x a day and only view them like once....) but this solves it!

Gonna read the whole thread so i'll be back with questions/suggestions later prolly
