vB3 Forumhome Stats Cache Serialize hack v2.2

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.

That doesn't have anything to do with this hack.

@Boofo: Will your new/enhanced version of your Stats hack be installed on a separate site or again at the index-page? I would prefer a separate page.

Greetings,
Chriss

I won't be doing a separate page as there really isn't enough stats to warrant a whole new page for them. Sorry.

[Astovidatu]

The percentages are fixed.

It doesent work on my Forum...
take a look: www.security-board.org

The percentages ARE fixed in the update I am testing now that will be released in the next day or two.

Oops. Never mind.

I was thinking of another hack.

This one is brilliant...except for some reason the Time last updated on my new server is showing as 1970...

This is really a minor issue but is there a way to insert a "," into the number of "Total Registrations"?

Total Registrations: 2926, Active Registrations: 2,040, New Registrations Today: 11

That is fixed along with the percentages and a few other stats added in the new version I am putting together. The install file is done, I just need to test it on a new install to make sure I didn't leave anything out.

Thank you kindly, Sir!

I just installed your vB3 Forum Quick Stats Cache Serialize Hack which is great, too. I saw that it displays the number of attachments and the total size attachments take in every forum.

Would it be possible to add an option with the new version to display the total number of attachments and the total attachment size for the whole board on the forum home?

[Mijae]

So, where is our fix? :P

[Photon]

installed it without any problems and it looks very nice

Its not working for me...Anime Gamers

What would I have to add to the queries to exclude specific forums from the 'new posts/threads since last visit' stats?

I have the NNTP gateway hack installed, and I would rather not have these show in any of the stats.

(As per a suggestion from wayne luke over on TAZ, I have added a SMALLINT column called is_usenet to my forum table).

What part of it is not working for you? It will only show up to registered members.

Give me the forum ID of the fourm you want to exclude and I will let you know what you need to change.
