vBMicrostats

Finally, the vBMicroStats product for vBulletin 3.5.4 is here.
The previous versions of my mod were very solicited by vBulletin administrators...
I hope you will enjoy this new version as much you did the other ones.

Looking for VB 3.6.x version? It is here.

This mod with add at the bottom of each vBulletin (powered) page, the statistics listed below.
Also, it will help you troubleshoot and optimize your vBulletin board by viewing or comparing PHP/MySQL options and other statistics that are normally hidden in your forum pages.

Regular Users:
? Load time of specified page in microseconds
? Number of queries executed
? PHP percent page usage
? MySQL percent page usage

Administrators Only:
? Server memory usage per page (in Kb)
? DEBUG mode status
? Browser GZIP library compression status
? Server average loads
? Uncached templates (useful to troubleshoot the code)

The code modifications listed below were tested into a clean installed vBulletin board. They work 100%.
If you encounter any problems, feel free to post your questions here.

Step by step install instructions are posted into vbmicrostats.html file.
In order to perform an efficient modification of your files, I recommend you to use Dreamweaver (Coder Mode) or Textpad.
Both editors will allow you to complete all steps without any coding errors.

I tried to use the plugin system as much as I could, in order to avoid any unnecessary code modifications.
In order to set the right query execution time, you will need to perform 2 small code changes to each of the following files:
? class_core.php (folder /includes)
? init.php (folder /includes)

The code changes are very safe and designed not to interfere in any way with the vBulletin performance/functionality.
Make sure you modify, save and upload one file at the time to your server.
Then, simply run the product-plugin_vbmicrostats.xml file.

Once the product installed, don't forget to enable it.
Go to your vBulletin Options, click on BB MicroStats setting group and set all your options.

Try to fix it. It's not good the hardcode the colspan because in some browsers like Opera it will show a gap (nasty one) to the right.
That's the reason I gave myself the trouble to make the colspan counter.

Tested in IE, Firefox and Opera and it works for me fine. But will look into it

BTW, the hack changes in vBulletin 3.6 version.
I will release a new version when 3.6 is final.

To those of us running 3.6 test sites, this would be a great tool to have prior to it going gold. Not supported of course, until it goes gold.

Yes, would be very useful to see this updated for 3.6.0bx sooner rather than later

The world's most stupid question.................................

what's with the "uncached Templates" on the stats? And how do I get them cached?

Check:

$globaltemplates = array(

In index.php for example.

TECK, could you please take a moment and look into my problem where I have posted above?

[TECK]

The column counter does not calculate the extra column. What hack did you installed?
You are the second person who have this problem, all of the sudden...
