vB3 Forumhome Stats Cache Serialize hack v2.2 · **Released**: 02-10-2004

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.

Seems to work now, but...

Some users can get mistaken by that, not sure if its ment to show the last 3 decimals or it thinks that 153 threads out of 1200 is 15300% :P

Boofo · #**124** 03-26-2004, 01:59 AM

Woah! that shouldn't be doing that. It works fine on my site. Set up a test account so I can log on and see the full stats.

I'm not sure what is going on with the percentages on your site. I am going to have to look at it further and figure out what to do. The code should work for bigger numbers the same as it does for smaller numbers.

You can go ahead and take out the code for percentages for now if you want until I can figure it out. It doesn't make sense why it isn't working, though. Apparently, the threads and posts being that big of a number must make the percentage code do something wierd.

I'll let you know when I have something for you to test (since my baord is so small).

Mijae · #**127** 03-26-2004, 02:23 AM

No problem, its still an excellent hack

It sure got my vote for HoTM :P

Boofo · #**128** 03-26-2004, 02:25 AM

Thank you, sir.

And I WILL figure out what is going on and supply a fix for it, somehow.

What about excluding certain members from being in the stats? For example...I own the site, as such, I have significantly more posts and other stats, than my members. I prefer this to be something more for my members, and I wish to be excluded from showing up in the stats. How can I do that?

I do the same thing on my site.

Let me know what stats you want to be excluded from and I can give you the code to do it.

apokphp · #**131** 03-26-2004, 02:53 AM

I don't get it. It removed the Who's Online area instead of the old stats area. Also, I get funky decimal percentages, and the name of the community doesn't appear. Just using the default, unhacked FORUMHOME template, the code you say to replace, does not exist. It is similar, but it is not exact.

You can login to see what I'm talking about here:

User: llama
pass: llama

Also, as far as excluding members...isn't there a way to go by userid? I'd just prefer to remove myself AND my forumbot from all possible stats.

Boofo · #**132** 03-26-2004, 03:06 AM

Ok, show me the default code for that area and I will see what I can do to fix it for you. I was using the code from RC3 so it may be different in vB 3 Gold.

Tne percentages seem to have problems with larger thread counts than I have on my board, for some reason. Take the percentage code out for now until I can figure out a way to fix it.

Do you want to excluded from ALL stats or just certain ones?

apokphp · #**133** 03-26-2004, 03:19 AM

Ahhh...that's gotta be it. I assumed this was for vb3 GOLD.

Here is the code:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- logged-in users -->

    <tr>

        <td class="thead" colspan="2">

            <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_activeusers')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_activeusers" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_activeusers].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

    </tr>

            </div>

        </td>

    </tr>

<!-- end logged-in users -->

</if>

    </tr>

I had it right. You just accidentally replaced too much code. Replace this part of it with the stats hack:

HTML Code:

<tbody> 
    <tr> 
        <td class="thead" colspan="2"> 
            <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_stats')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_stats" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_stats].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> 
            <phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_statistics]</phrase> 
        </td> 
    </tr> 
</tbody> 
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_stats" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_stats]"> 
    <tr> 
        <td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/stats.gif" alt="<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[x_statistics]</phrase>" border="0" /></td> 
        <td class="alt1"> 
        <div class="smallfont"> 
            <div>$vbphrase[threads]: $totalthreads, $vbphrase[posts]: $totalposts, $vbphrase[members]: $numbermembers</div> 
            <div><phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase></div> 
        </div> 
        </td> 
    </tr> 
</tbody>

apokphp · #**135** 03-26-2004, 03:49 AM

That's what I DID replace. I gave you code before this part on purpose (I didn't replace all of that). I provided the additional "What's going on" part of the code.

Boofo · #**136** 03-26-2004, 03:57 AM

Well, as you can see, this hack doesn't touch the Who's Online code at all, so you must have replaced too much of the code.

Put the template back at the default (or the way it was BEFORE you installed this hack) and try it again with just the code replaced from above. See if that fixes your problem. Let me know.
