[Plugin: WP SlimStat] A question in creating the graphs

    Hi,
    since the upgrade of WP from 3.1.0 via 3.1.1 to 3.1.3 and updating the plugin from 2.4 via 2.4.1 to 2.4.2 i noticed a dramatic increse in loading the graphs in dashboard. Before it loads in about 30 seconds, now I have to wait more than 4 minutes!
    If you (camu) have not done it, my suggestion is the following: I suppose all graphs are being calculatet live from the first day on. If so – this is not neccesary because the PIs and visits no longer change when the day is over. Use another database table to store the day and amount and read this.
    If you do so already, never mind…
    The next thing is, after every update I have to manually change owner of cache/cache.php to my webserver user and to “chmod 777 cache/”. So please let this alone – do not change…
    Thanks!

    Hi there,

    WordPress core developers strongly advise against creating too many tables for third-party plugins, so I’ve tried to keep the number of tables needed by my plugin at minimum. Your idea is indeed really smart, but not so easy to manage. What if the administrator deletes some entries based, let’s say, on a given IP address. The ‘static’ table should reflect those changes as well.

    Also, in my case, i pay $20/year for my hosting space and my graphs load in no more than 4 seconds, with a DB containing around 700k rows right now. So I guess you may want to shop around for a better provider ??

    As for the cache, that file is automatically updated by my plugin every 2 weeks, your webserver should have the right configuration for chmod when it creates new files. It’s a problem with your setup, not the plugin ??

    Camu
