If you guys and girls notice something useful that should be added to the hack, let me know.
Make sure you post feedback about it, I would like to know from all of you how the hack is running on your sites, especially on large forums.

Thanks.

Is it possible to show everything only to the admins?

[TECK]

Yes. Go here:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...0&postcount=46

Download the XML file and edit it to fit the new version.
(compare the 2 installers)

If you post it, I will look to make sure everything is ok, then give you 5 stars and link it to the first post.
As you noticed, I try to involve people, like in the old golden vBulletin.org times.
Before, people used to post a lot more in the hack threads...

I used Ollie's suggestion.
Check the template modification section, in the readme file.
See how to update your footer template, there.

Thanks.

On one of my styles, I want to include the info in a table such as whoisonline table. I have a table made, it collapses fine, but i cant seem to find a template or any code to strip the template background from the code and simply display the stats. How could I do this?

Thanks tech!

Show me a screenshot so I understand better your example. Visual guy here.

Hi, first at all, thank you for the mod

I have a few questions about the results I see in the footer:
- I have enabled Memory Usage, the results are: 0KB Used, I read in the 'help' that I have to compile PHP with enable-memory-limit option, but... what does 0KB Used mean? and how do I compile PHP with enable-memory-limit option?

- What does Unchached Templates means?

Thank you

[TECK]

The value 0KB is displayed when PHP is not compiled with the option "--enable-memory-limit". It's just an indicator for you to know that the memory limit is disabled in PHP.
Otherwise, you will see values like 4,236.85KB, instead of 0KB.
All you have to do is contact your host and ask them to enable the option.

In vBulletin, a datastore is used to store into memory useful variables, templates, etc.
That system avoids calling the database each time you process some global info, increasing the script performance.
If you create a modification or a separate file and forget the cache your new templates (using the array variables defined into default vBulletin files), then each uncached template will execute a query instead of being stored into server memory.

Let's take an example. You install a new hack.
The hacker who created the hack forgot to cache one template. The result?
One extra query performed for nothing in each vBulletin page. The forum display would have 14 queries instead of 13 if you missed to cache 1 template, 15 queries if you missed to cache 2 templates and so on...
The microstats will show you always if there are any "forgotten" templates on your page, in order to avoid performing not needed queries. It will display the number of un-cached templates as well their names. The un-cached templates will be highlighted in light-blue, like in the first screenshot.
Cool, huh?

I hope this helps clearing your questions.
If I missed or forgot something, please let me know.

Ok guys and girls. I need you to "invent" a new option for MicroStats.
I need that because I plan to add phrases into main MicroStats template, so you can translate it easier.
I don't want to release a new version just for this, we need to excite the users with something new also, right?

[Skavenger]

I think you made a mistake here

...

Now I understand

Thank you again

[TECK]

No mistake, it's intended like this. You are not the first one who shows me this "typo".
It's a tradition that I kept from early versions, when I made this hack for vBulletin 2.x (year 2002 I think).
It also reminds me when I used to sleep only 4-5hrs/night while sharing most of my free time with the hackers to come up with all kind of useful edits in the raw vB code...
There were no plugins, way back. To tell you the truth, I like a lot better to edit directly the files. Many people learned PHP because of this. They were forced to watch the code closely...

[TECK]

Take a look how it used to be vBMicroStats for vBulletin 2.x on forum home:
(17 queries performed, as default)

Hey TECK, maybe if others would like to see this they will chime in
Not sure what good it would be in a shared environment but for dedicated it's nice to have.

I dont know much about how to do it but somthing like this maybe..

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

to display (i.e. MemTotal: 8299056 kB MemFree: 126812 kB ).

I for one would like to see an option to display all of the microstats to only admins via admincp.

Also, is it a good idea to compile PHP with the option "--enable-memory-limit". What would be the benefits of being able to set this in php conf or .htaccess. Thanks...
