Instructions / Other Info: Updates:

• ubb_statistics.cgi has been completely renovated. It takes advantage of 6.x's file structure, CI's, etc for less file usage. And a few other things, 'spiced' up. (now using strict, )
• CSS Template compatible

Besides that, nothing really new. Any ideas?

*goes off to test*


I hope you fixed the SSI part, I just noticed it wasn't working in my version

Thank you

Jeese Brett lol... Can I not half ass things anymore :x...

everything works except the most recent topic. He used the active topics file, but those topics aren't store in order there

When I installed this before it was a real resource hog. Has anything been modified to change that?

Code suggestions...

&TotalsLastUser: %vars_forums is your friend.

&GetLatestPost: Please use the Get* routine from ubb_lib_files, as the active topics datafile may not be in a sane state. I built the routines for a reason, you know. Also, the keys function returns in the hash order, which is never right. Use a sort and drop the reverse, as it isn't working right as-is.

&GetMemberCount: Again, please use the proper Get* routine from ubb_lib_files...

&CreateChart: Please use &DirExists.

Thanks CC

Yea, i don't know what i was thinking when i didn't sort the active topics. On the bright side, it's better than going into each meta file and looking at each date then opening the topic file. I updated the zip, updating those mentioned by Charles. The only file changed is ubb_statistics.cgi.

RandyM: A definite Yes.

Yeh well my perl scripting sucks ok it's why I have Wierd Al and Brett on my coding team :x...

Brett, I get javascript errors and "Last post by in at on "

I don't think that's right

Can someone else please test this? For some reason, Al, your active topics file isn't being loaded through the GetTodaysActiveTopics sub. When i loaded your active topics file, it loaded fine. I even did a mini port to 6.5 that i still have installed and it loads fine.

I dunno, maybe my sorting method is flawed... :

lol

I meant the versions going way back as well. I would love to be able to use this again. If it is less hoggish I'm going to give it a shot. Maybe CC can add more info about the resources used?

My guess is until someone turns it into a php solution, it will always be a resource hog. Just think about how many things it has to open. Every cache folder you ever had, all of those calculations that it requires. It's kinda like working without the cache if I understand correctly. Every time someone posts, it's called on the forum summary. Everytime someone views the statistics page, all of those folders are opened and closed, and calculations are made. Don't forget that this also happens anytime someone views a page that has the SSI version on it.

Brett, I don't know why my board is giving you so much trouble. First the universal headers, now this

What do you mean? Make a PHP Stat hack? Now THAT would be a feat in and out itself. Requiring files with hashes incompatible with php. Or are you saying turn UBB into PHP? Like PHP isn't capable of being a resource hog? *coughyabbsbcough*

sure, you pick the one sentence that makes no sense out of that very nice post I made

Alright, from what i got my response is that statistics page, forum page, profile page, it doesn't matter. Each time you view those pages(cached or not), files are opened, there's other way. It just depends on how many/much is opened. This hack opens about 1/4 of previous versions, resource hog less, no?

any word on a fix?

I'm slow, which fix are we waiting for?

the one for the most recent post

ubb_statistics.cgi needs to reference vars_wordlets_mods{stuff} instead of vars_wordlets{stuff}.
