Hi first of thanks for sharing this!
My question: I have a microstat that shows server load etc... is that the same as *nix value?

Hmmmm interesting mod. Going to try it now.

I've been waiting for this mod for a LONG TIME! Thanks!

I installed this and tried it out. I logged out of my board in a different browser, and briefly changed the Load Deny settings to 1 so that it would trip it. It did, but for some reason it looks like my board styles are broken on the "too busy" page it loaded. Is that intentional with this mod? The "too busy" page looks fine using VB's built in "*NIX Server Load Limit" option.

Yes, exactly the same as the first load report in the microstats plugin.

Yeah, I am not exactly sure why it is doing this here. I may need to adjust the hook location to one further down in global.php. I did this plugin originally for a project where I am pruning out plugins because the board load is crazy and I could not get anything done. The goal was to stop people as soon as possible if they were not registered.

You could test it yourself by going to the plugins page and finding the only plugin for the load deny product, click edit, and change the hook location in the drop down to: global_setup_complete.

I don't quite understand what this does. Does it generate a vbulletin error message saying that the server load is currently too high and stop registration that way? Or does it also prevent all forum images from loading to guests as well? A couple of screenshots would always be a nice addition.

Houston I have the same styles problem but the addon technique is functionation, good job! maybe you can fix the styles problem?

Generates error message saying server load is too high, basically, come back later, or register/login to view the content.

It is basically the same as the "NIX Server Load Limit" option in VB, except ONLY applies to guests.

Thanks for answering so quickly. I'll be sure to try this out. Thanks a bunch.

Updated so styling will now show. You can either install as before (select overwrite), or just edit the plugin via the admincp and change the Hook Location to global_setup_complete.

Great addon, thank you for making it, Installed!

So I have this question for you, MySQL wont be called when the load reaches a certain limit, I set like 1.0, right?

[Jafo232]

There will be some basic low level calls, just like the "*NIX Server Load Limit" does, but it is minimal. There will always be some level of SQL calls because the script needs to determine several things:

• Is this a logged in user?
• What is the setting for the unregistered users threshold?
• What phrase is needed to relay to the user that they are denied?
• Load the hooks so this plugin will work.
• etc..

There really is no way around that..
