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.

Then you might want to. That is where I will be doing the testing before I release the fix.

Don't know y, it messed up the percents... the displayed figures is 1000 times greater than what it should be...

So I have to change to these:

$statscache['topposterpercent'] = round(($topposter[posts] / ($totalthreads + $totalposts)) / 10, 2);
$statscache['topthreadspercent'] = round(($topstarter[count] / $totalthreads) / 10, 2);

Or either remove:

$totalthreads = vb_number_format($totalthreads);
$totalposts = vb_number_format($totalposts);

From the index.php, for it to work right... anyone have the same problem?

Frzzy thanx so much,this semms to be perfect!!
I just make little change,for not loose the VB Number feature
In root/index.php find:

PHP Code:

$totalthreads = vb_number_format($totalthreads);
$totalposts = vb_number_format($totalposts); 


Above it add:

PHP Code:

$totalt = $totalthreads;
$totalp = $totalposts; 


Go forward in index.php and find:

PHP Code:

$statscache['topstarterid'] = intval ($topstarter[postuserid]);
$statscache['topstartercount'] = intval ($topstarter[count]); 


Under it add:

PHP Code:

$statscache['topposterpercent'] = round(($topposter[posts] / ($totalt + $totalp)) / 10, 2);
$statscache['topthreadspercent'] = round(($topstarter[count] / $totalt) / 10, 2); 


This works perfect to me,and all thanx goes to Frzzy!

I'm not quite sure just how I could do that. I'll look into it for you if you want, though.

[Lethal]

can you add this to a VBAdvanced module block? like the quick stats block but have all of these stats instead?

[tomshawk]

tomshawk clicks install!!!

Nice hack Boofo, thank you

One question though, in the image you have attached, it shows "The most Active User Today"

Well I installed it on my site, but I dont see that line.

Can you give me an idea what I might be missing, this is one of the main reasons I installed this, and I'd really like to get it working

Thanks again
