AJAX Load stats

Save stats block in a cron run; cron would need to be run often to make this effective.

put this at the top of boost_stats.php; before everything else.

if ($_GET['stats']) {
  // Connect to DB.
  include_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
  drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_DATABASE);
  
  $stats_block = db_fetch_array(db_query_range("SELECT value FROM {variable} WHERE name = '%s'", 'boost_statistics_html', 0, 1));
  $stats_block = unserialize($stats_block['value']);
  echo $stats_block;
  exit;
}

Have cron run this

    $block = module_invoke('statistics', 'block', 'view', 0);
    variable_set('boost_statistics_html' ,$block['content']);

Put this in a block

<div id="stats">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#stats').load('/boost_stats.php?stats=1');
</script>

Be sure to set the correct path, if your in a subdir.

Disable the stats module, and the yellow bar goes away.

Couple of changes to do:

Check that the statistics module is enabled, not just it's values stored in the variables table.
SELECT 'status' FROM 'system' WHERE 'name' = 'statistics'
EDIT: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/module_exists

Break boost_stats.php into functions and allow for a single ajax transaction when updating stats and getting the stats html.

Use $delta value for boost_block(); add #1 to boost_cron().
http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_block

Use jquery if/else in drupal_add_js() with $preprocess = FALSE for page specific javascript variables.

if ( $("#boost-stats").length > 0 ) {
  $('#boost-stats').load('/boost_stats.php?stats=1&...');
}
else {
  load('/boost_stats.php?...');
}

Get rid of boost_footer().

First try at rewrite... it still needs work.

I'm happy with this patch. A new block controls stats.

Need to change code on status page.

make the html the same, thus controlling the display is done entirely in boost_stats.php

in JS if boost_stats.php doesn't exits, fall back to a boost/ajax menu hook that does what I need.

committed patch, still need to do other changes

Step 1: JS that sends info & updates multiple div's.

<script type="text/javascript">
$.getJSON("test.php", {nocache: "1", js: "1", nid: "1", q: "front", title: "test", referer: document.referrer}, function(response) {
  $.each(response, function(id, html) {
    $('#' + id).html(html);
  });
});
</script>

Step 2: boost_stats.php does a full drupal bootstrap or not, depending on the settings.
Boot up DB & variable_get('throttle_level', 0) among others. If 1 then use cached html for output, if 0 then do a full bootstrap and return current html for the block(s).

Step 3: Fall back code
Create a menu hook called boost_stats.php that returns the current html for the block(s).

Setp 4: Smarter status page.

Steps 1 & 2 done

committed

Step 2.5: Hide Block
Hide the block if show stats is set to false, via reply from AJAX. JSON returns ID & NULL.

Step 3: Fall back code
Create a menu hook called boost_stats.php that returns the current html for the block(s).

Setp 4: Smarter status page.

use jQuery to hide block.

<script>
$.getJSON(Drupal.settings.basePath + "$filename", {nocache: "1", js: "1", nid: Drupal.settings.boost.nid, q: Drupal.settings.boost.q, title: Drupal.settings.boost.title, referer: document.referrer}, function(response) {
  $.each(response, function(id, contents) {
    if (contents == 'NULL') {
      $(id).parent().parent().hide();
    }
    else {
      $(id).html(contents);
    }
  });
});
</script>

ability for boost_stats.php to handle old (load HTML) and new (JSON) via js=2 vs js=1. Allows for sites that upgrade to not have flush the cache for boost stats to work.

Patch includes Everything:
Ability for boost_stats.php to handle old (load HTML) and new (JSON) via js=2 vs js=1.
Hides the block if show stats is set to false, via reply from AJAX.
