Microstats - load times, server loads, queries, uncached templates

This is a derivative of Erwin's microstats hack for vBulletin 3.5.0's plugin system. The main difference is that by default it shows the page generation time and query count to the public. Server loads and Uncached Queries are shown only to administrators.

I had sent this to Erwin so he could release if he wanted to but instead he told me that I had permission to release it; hence why I am releasing it.

This should work with vBulletin 3.5.0 RC 1 through vBulletin 3.6.1 and later.

Installation is very simple. Just import the plugin via vBulletin's "Download / Upload Plugins" page in the Plugin System in the Admin Control Panel and you're done.

I'll try to correct any bugs that you find. Let me know if you like this plugin and don't forget to click the install link if you install this.

Optional config.php Variables

$config['Microstats']['replacementvariable']

Setting this variable will make microstats place its data before any instance of whatever you set this variable to. Be careful with this as you might see microstats in mutiple places. My suggestion is to use a unique comment in the HTML source to prevent any issues.

E.g. $config['Microstats']['replacementvariable'] = '<!-- display microstats here -->';

$config['Microstats']['adminonly']

Setting this variable to anything will make microstats display itself only to administrators.

E.g. $config['Microstats']['adminonly'] = true;

I don't like the way the public see the stats, even if it is only queries and page load. Oh well, edited it to my liking.

Good work ShiningArcanine!

[FleaBag]

Nice work!

Even as admin I am only seeing:
Page generated in 0.06230 seconds with 9 queries

All other versions of MS have worked out of the box on my server. Any ideas?

Is that your primary usergroup? Does the administrator usergroup have 6 as its id on your forums? This is probably a stupid question but what version of vBulletin are you running?

It's just a fresh install of v3.5 beta 1. Nothing other than this plugin has been done except for some styles I have ported over. I get the same result on the untouched default style as well as the 3 I have moved over to 3.5.
I as the admin am the only member and yes, Admin is default group 6.

EDIT:
I even took out

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid']==6)

and still get the same result. Wierd. It must have something to do with my server config? I have the vB3x version running fine on 2 other boards www.StaticServer.com (only admins can view) and my main board at www.Chefhost.com where you should see limited stats as unregistered.
