vBulletin LTS

vBMicroStats
Mod Version: 1.1.0, by TECK

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
• http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?action=showpost&postid=291831
• 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.

The PLUGIN itself is DISABLED by default.
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.

Perfect, thanks.
Fixing this bug is very easy. I also decided to load into memory all data, it should improve performance.

To upgrade to version 1.0.2, all you have to do is:
1. Uninstall the vBMicrostats product but leave class_core.php and init.php code modifications in place.
They are good.

2. Delete folder /plugins.

3. Download the new 1.0.2 .zip file.

4. Run the product-vbmicrostats.xml installer.

5. Enable all BB MicroStats options, like before.

You are done.

Upgrade to version 1.0.3

Guys and girls, say all Thank You to Xplorer4x4 for this excellent idea.

Version 1.0.3 brings a very powerful option. Now, vBMicroStats can actually turn On/Off the vBulletin Debug Mode.
Make sure you enable this option, ONLY with your board off, orelse it can lead to security breaches (yes, is that powerful).
If your board is turned off to public, you don't have to worry about anything, well sort of.
The best way is to make sure you don't leave this option enabled for a long time either ways.

How to upgrade to Version 1.0.3:
1. Uninstall your current vBMicroStats product. Leave the PHP files the way they are edited now, they are not needed to be re-modified in order to work with the new version.
2. Install the new product, included in the vbmicrostats_103.zip file.
3. Look in the readme file to see how to change the footer template.

You are done. Don't you like those hard upgrades?

I'm getting the same thing, I get the following when I try to import the product:

Seemed like a great idea - anyone know whether it really is incompatible?

Open the XML file with notepad or any text editor, and on line 10, change

PHP Code:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.4" maxversion="3.6.6" /> 


to

PHP Code:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="3.6.4" maxversion="3.6.7" />
