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.

Anyone know how I would go about add Total Games and Most Played Game stats from the ibproarcade for vb hack?

The updated version I am getting ready to release has just what you are looking for in it. It also has the Champion of the most played game and their score. Click the install button and when I get the text file all put together and tested, I will send out the update email for it. In the meantime, I have that running on my site if you want to check it out.

Will it include the same for v3arcade?

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!

Caused a zero percentage, in the Top Poster, for me. The 'Most Viewed Profile' also doesn't work, showing '0 Views'

What can be done to correct this?

[Boofo]

There has been a fix for that in this thread already.

I'm sure we can include that also. I used to run v3Arcade and had the query there.

You need to run the query for the most viewed profile and do the member.php edit and look at a couple of profiles other than your own and it will start showing up.

This hack has almost every thing I need. Thanks a lot. I had a problem with the percentage of top poster only. And I couldn't figure it out even after reading this thread. I finally fixed it by rewriting the statement, now it is off by about 4 tenths of a percent and I really couldn't care less.

PHP Code:

$statscache['topposterpercent'] =  round(($topposter[posts] / ($totalposts)/10), 2);

I have an update that fixes all of the percentage problems and is accurate and also has a few more items in it. I just haven't gotten the text file together yet to update it. I will try to get that going here shortly.
