Board Optimization - vBMicroStats

This hack will 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:
? Active users browsing the forum (members and guests) new in 1.1.0
? Server memory usage per page (in Kb)
? Display DEBUG mode status
? Browser GZIP library compression status
? Server average loads
? Uncached templates (useful to troubleshoot the code)

The code modifications were tested into a clean installed vBulletin board. They work 100%.
The hack was tested in vBulletin 3.6.4 and 3.6.5.
If you want to test it into a lower version (3.6.x), let me know.
Also, if you encounter any problems, feel free to post your questions here.

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

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-vbmicrostats.xml file.

[high]The PLUGIN itself is DISABLED by default.[/high]
This was done in order to make sure you properly edit your code first and to avoid surprises.
You will need to enable it, once your code modifications are completed:
Plugins and Products > Manage Products > vB Microstats > Enable (dropdown)
Then, go to your vBulletin Options, click on BB MicroStats setting group and set all your options.

Upgrade to version 1.0.2.
Upgrade to version 1.0.3.
Upgrade to version 1.1.0.

Want to be a guinea pig and try this hack into a higher vBulletin version?

THANKS, worked fine on 3.68 patch 2

In the XML file I replaced maxversion="3.6.6" with maxversion="3.6.8" as suggested in a previous post.
After the successful import I found the plugin disabled by default (you can see a line through the title in the plugin manager) so I enabled it.

In vBulletin Options > Help BB MicroStats I enabled the plugin and turned on all the options. Debug Mode status only displays if it is enabled in the /includes/config.php file.

The template modification as supplied in the readme.html file corrupts the display so I wrapped it in it's own table tags.

<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" class="page" align="center">
<tr>
<if condition="$show['microstats']"><!-- {microstats} --></if>
</tr>
</table>

Then I placed the code below the first table in the footer template. Hack working as expected. These stats are for forum home when logged in.

Page generated in 0.492 seconds (73.29% PHP - 26.71% MySQL) with 13 queries
DEBUG Mode ON | 0.19 : 0.22 : 0.24 | Uncached Templates: None

I've elected not to display Active Users, Memory Usage, and GZIP Level.

I am also running vBSEO without any conflicts.

Explain is also working fine.

This mod will not work if you have VBAdvanced page integration (ie. sidebar for forumdisplay). You can fix it simply by changing vBMicroStats' plugin executionorder to 10 at the manage plugin page.

Worked fine out of the box for me on 3.6.8 PL2, apart from changing the maxversion number on the .xml file..

You should use a boolean value instead:

$config['Misc']['debug'] = false;

That means the debug mode is disabled. To enable it, use:

$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

Does this work out of the box with 3.7.0 beta 4, sir?

EDIT: It works fine with the new version. Just installed it and everything is working. Thank you, sir.

I just noticed this when turning on DEBUG mode. The debug box at the bottom shows this:

Page Generation 0.32953 seconds
Memory Usage 5,799KB

Microstats shows this:

Page generated in 0.33539891 seconds
6,031.72KB Used

Shouldn't they be the same?

[TECK]

No, Bobby. My stats actually take into account all the hidden processes that run into vBulletin, also.
Good to see you here again, my good friend.

I installed on 3.6.8 but nothing shows at the bottom of any page????

[haytham]

Sorry. I had turned it on in VB options but not as a product. Working now. Can anyone tell me if this is good or bad:
Page generated in 0.34007096 seconds (83.96% PHP - 16.04% MySQL) with 43 queries

[Boofo]

A lot of queries but not as bad as it could be.

@TECK - Thank you, sir. It's been a while.
