Microstats - load times, server loads, queries, uncached templates

This is a derivative of Erwin's microstats hack for vBulletin 3.5.0's plugin system. The main difference is that by default it shows the page generation time and query count to the public. Server loads and Uncached Queries are shown only to administrators.

I had sent this to Erwin so he could release if he wanted to but instead he told me that I had permission to release it; hence why I am releasing it.

This should work with vBulletin 3.5.0 RC 1 through vBulletin 3.6.1 and later.

Installation is very simple. Just import the plugin via vBulletin's "Download / Upload Plugins" page in the Plugin System in the Admin Control Panel and you're done.

I'll try to correct any bugs that you find. Let me know if you like this plugin and don't forget to click the install link if you install this.

Optional config.php Variables

$config['Microstats']['replacementvariable']

Setting this variable will make microstats place its data before any instance of whatever you set this variable to. Be careful with this as you might see microstats in mutiple places. My suggestion is to use a unique comment in the HTML source to prevent any issues.

E.g. $config['Microstats']['replacementvariable'] = '<!-- display microstats here -->';

$config['Microstats']['adminonly']

Setting this variable to anything will make microstats display itself only to administrators.

E.g. $config['Microstats']['adminonly'] = true;

DementedMindz, use $config['Microstats']['replacementvariable'], there are instructions above.

Carlosacgj, if you are using Windows, microstats cannot display the server loads.

How do I determine what the queries are and what modules/hacks require them?

[ShiningArcanine]

This is beyond the scope of microstats, but try using vBulletin's debug mode to find out what the queries being made are. You could also try disabling products/plugins to see if queries disappear when they are disabled.

It doesn't display the serverloads? Neither in the admin panel?

Hi.

I#ve removed the Plugin, but the stats still show up. Any idea whats going wrong? :S

I also tried to re-add the plugin and modified some text "page generated" but the changed text does not show up. it seems as if it somehow is somewhere else, but i cant find it

also if I deactivate the plugin system it still show up. other hacks I installed and thought could be the problem ist a template cache system, but I've deleted all cached templates...
