Vbulletin Plugin Accelerator
Accelerate Your Forums Plugins

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=107315)


Summary:

If you use the Vbulletin Plugin System (Specially if you use a lot of plugins), this will help improve the performance of the system overall by inlining all of the plugin code into the PHP files themself.

Essentially making it as if you had hacked the files yourself, this will give you better performance on your forum overall.

PS. Use this in conjunction with my Other Hack (Compress Forum Templates) for speeding up your forum even more by compressing templates.

Install:

Download the zip file.
Open install.txt and Read Instructions


Upgrade:

Download the zip file.
Uninstall Product "Vbulletin Plugin Accelerator"
Open install.txt and Read Instructions to install like usual.


Current Status: (RC2)

Release Candidate 2 Has Been Released.
This code has been deemed acceptable and to be used by all.

Please report any bugs back to this thread.
Thanks.


Latest Changes: 02/11/2006
Fixed another problem with backslashes, hopefully this will fix some other problems.
To upgrade, just replace the includes/class_plugin_accelerator.php with the new one.


Important Notes:

1. While this IS a release candidate, more than likely its not fully bug free so Please backup your files before you install this modification, this system is not yet perfect.

2. When running "Rebuild Hook Cache" and "Rebuild All Plugins" if you ever see a small parse error, or file couldnt be opened error; re-run both again and it should go away.

3. includes/hook_files.php contains locations of all the files the accelerator scans for plugin hooks, if you have any files that have been renamed, moved, etc.. you need to add it to that file on its own line, thanks.


If You Have Problems:

If you incur any parse errors, or pages not displaying after running the steps. Please make a copy of the affect file as well as its original version, zip them and upload somewhere. Send me a link to the file for me to download, review and provide a fix.

If you use a lot of "Plugins" via the Vbulletin Plugin System, this will make your site faster when I get an actual version working.

Interesting :)
I wrote a little windows application to prepare a "slipstreamed" vBulletin with all Plugins included back in beta stage.

Worked very well, though you loose the flexibility of the Plugin system:
You can't easily enable/disable Plugins/Products through ACP anymore, as this requires reprocessing the files.
And having them +w might not be a too good option, especially in shared environments.

Well this is the thing, you Will be able to easily "enable/disable" the plugins and products from the ACP; this system will not hinder the use of that, I will keep a cache of the hook_name => file pairs, by good use of power of preg via comments I can control where code is placed in the vbulletin files and be able to add and remove plugin code easily (Only) on the needed files, no need to scan the files again for every plugin code change.

As for the chmod options, there is a truth to that; but I can probably write a suitable php implementation that can control the chmod options to a degree when files need to be wrote, then set back to 755.. ofcourse this will defer depending on the system; in the end people can always chmod their files to 777 when they want to make a change, then back to 755 when they finish.

[Andreas]

Yeah, but if I turn Off the Plugin System you will have to re-process all files that contain active Hooks :)

Also, you would have to add a check for DISABLE_HOOKS being set on every Hoook location, or that won't work any longer - which again adds some overhead.

That is true, but you are talking hypothetically. Realistically no one is going to turn their plugin system on and off several times a day every day. There are lots of plugin hooks, but not all of them are used.. as such not every file has to be modified and not every hook has to be replaced. If the file contains hooks that are not currently used by the system they are simply commented out.

I plan to keep existing compatability; Even if used an if() construct for each plugin segment that still takes less cpu cycles than an empty function call.

[Trigunflame]

Update:

Integrated Test Number 2, this does an actual hook cache, hook replace with php code, output with 2 included example files.

This is a proof of concept attempt, and will be further expanded probably tomorrow.. but this is a good foundation to work from.

No need to worry about modification of your files, this is performed on the 2 test files e_1.php and e_2.php included with the archive.

hello...

it will create another plug in system that will work faster than the defult system?

This is alpha quality code, we are just in the testing stages; the current code in the archive simply provides 2 tests that you can run to see if the plugin system code will work on your server/forum/site.

We should have "fully" operational code with the next day or so.

[Zia]

Thans let us try with it in our test site ...

Re: No4 below, what findings do you want?


1) Instructions:
2) Download the zip file.
3) Place the static_plugins folder in your forum directory.
4) Run the script via the url [U]http:// yoursite.com/static_plugins/test.php
5) Report your finding back here if you would please.

[Trigunflame]

Re: No4 below, what findings do you want?

Check the results of test 2 to verify that the ($hook = vbxxxxxx ? : false) is replaced with example php code inside comment blocks.

[Paul M]

So let's just make sure I understand this;

This will scan every vbulletin php file for hook calls, and for each one it will ;-

1. If you have no plugins associated with that hook it will just comment it out

2. If you have a plugin that uses it, it will edit the actual file - to copy the code into it.

What happens when I edit/enable/disable plugins ?

Would it not be less dangerous to copy the plugin code to a php file named after the hook, and just edit the hook call to an include() for that file (have a plugins folder the same as the includes folder) ?

[Trigunflame]

Paul, included I have a file called hook_files.php that list 1 file per line that tell the script which files are permitted to be parsed.

The hooks that have no plugincode associated with it, are commented out in "Accelerated Plugin Style Comment Blocks" for use later (Which Still Saves You an Empty Hook Function Call". If there is a valid hook that there is plugin code, it will insert the code in the correct location inside the files that use that hook.

When you enable/disable plugins, the files that are modified are reverted back to their natural state with their default vbulletin php code.

As for using includes, specifically "naming a file after each hook name", we would encounter 'the law of diminished returns'; as there are 8+ hooks in some files, includes() account for filesystem stat calls while on "Most" pages be faster than an eval() to a large amount of code; still be slower than running it directly from inside the script using it.

Note to Anyone Reading This: None of the above actually Works yet; we are still in testing stages.

[PennylessZ28]

Interesting cocept. I think I'll stick to manually doing my files.

[Trigunflame]

Interesting cocept. I think I'll stick to manually doing my files.

But if you are using lots of plugin code (which purpose is to keep people from directly modifying files) then for the average person; this would provide that solution without them having to manually edit code.

This is one of many modifications I plan to release involving the runtime of Vbulletin; with suggestions from Scott and a couple other people; there are many more places inside vbulletin that can be optimized.

[Brad]

I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Good to see you coding again. :)

[Trigunflame]

Update Everyone:

# First Working Release. Not all features are fully developed, but it does perform the primary objective.

# Automatic Re-Compiling of Plugins into Files will be presented in the next release; currently if you import, add, or update any plugin/product. Please click "Rebuild All Plugins" to refresh your files with up2date code.

----------------

In Short, this is a Functional Release; the tweaking of various parts of vbulletin to remove excess queries, and automatic recompiling on plugin add,edit,import will be presented in the next release.

I urge everyone to try this hack out and send feedback regarding any problems that you are having (If you have any).

Note: Using the built in Enable/Disable link, you can turn off the system at any point in time you wish incase a problem occurs; upon disabling it will convert all Compiled Code back into Vbulletins default Plugin Hook System and vice versa.

Thankyou.

How will [vbulletin] upgrades be handled ?

Edit: A couple of points.

1. Please make it a product, and install the phrases this way.

2. Make a custom cpnav file to cut out the editing of the vbulletin one.

Update; (visited Vbulletin.com for help on those, im so used to 3.0.x >.> glad I know about these now thx paul.

As for upgrades, all that needs to be done is running "Rebuild Hook Cache", "Rebuild All Plugins".

[Trigunflame]

Ok updated the Install.txt
Created product installer: product-plugin_accelerator.xml
Created navigation addon: cpnav_plugin_accelerator.xml

ps. thanks paul for mentioning, I hadnt experimented with the product system yet. (havnt been around vb in like 6 months, lol)

[Trigunflame]

I think i have scared all of the testers off, it works people; atleast give it a try. Lol.

WOW! This really made everything faster. GREAT MOD!!!! THANKS!

[Trigunflame]

Huge Update

- Critical bug involving active status to not be set has been resolved. Those who had problems with activating the system should now have no problems.

- Added many phrases to the system involving error messages and status messages

+ Note:

Please go through the install.txt file once more, changes were made to plugin.php which should be edited to take care of using the new phrases.

To upgrade:
Uninstall Product Vbulletin Plugin Accelerator, re-install it through the update file and move all the new files into the their appropriate places via the install.txt file.

this sounds great, i need to watch this thread
i don't know enough about vbulletin to fix it if something goes wrong ha. i just started a site don't want to loose folks from down time ha

Eh ive spent close to about 10+ hrs of bug-fixing regex problems it shouldnt hurt your files, but always make backups before you ever attempt to modify anything.

[Trigunflame]

If you get any parse errors, just re-run "Rebuild Hook Cache" and "Rebuild All Plugins" and it should clear any problems.

[eNforce]

Ok about my shoutbox problem, it now appears to only display it when I set the shout box to "below navigation bar" and Rebuild All Plugins. Won't work when it's set to "Below Forums"

Strange

Can you check your index.php to verify that the system is replacing the hook locations with the needed php code, you should see my comment blocks surrounding the php code ie.

//[p:forumhome_start]
$testing = 'woot';
//[/p:forumhome_start]

Should be 3 or 4 different comment block hooks throughout index.php

ps. if possible, change the filename to index.txt and upload it as an attachment.

[eNforce]

oooh about that, I have VBA CMPS installed and it's the index.php, the original VB index.php is renamed to forum.php. Is this causing the problems?

If so, any way to get around it?

(i don't see any comment blocks in the VBA CMPS index.php)

Try adding the forum.php to the includes/hook_files.php on its own line.

You have to remember, hook_files.php contains the locations to all of the files the Accelerator scans for hook locations; without that it doesnt know what and where to replace any plugin code.

Update that hook_files.php with forum.php and the Rebuild Hook Cache, Rebuild All Plugins.

[eNforce]

Done that, doesn't seem to help

Though it is leaving your comment blocks in forum.php

[Reef]

This is a great concept Trigunflame, I would love to improve speed any way possible but this killed my board after running Rebuild Hooks + Plugins.

After running those I recieved this error on every page I tried loading

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ']' in /home/rplace/public_html/board/includes/functions.php on line 4353


I ended up having to replace the php files with backups since I couldn't reload the page to try uninstalling it.

[Trigunflame]

Hmm.. im trying to think what could be causing it to not show up, are you getting any sort of javascript errors? Or weird HTML when you view the page source?

Thanks, ya this is a really tough hack to perfect due to the regexp involved, ive already spent many hours on it.

I know this may be difficult for you, but it would really help me fix this problem. If you could install the hack again and run it; if the problem happens again save that file and rename to .txt and upload it as an attachment here; and also attach your backup copy of the same file that way I can do a Text Diff on it to see whats actually being changed.

I really want to get problems like these solved as this hack has a lot of potential to make the Vbulletin Plugin System Good; ive done lots of test on my own and other forums and while very rare.. problems like yours has occured; so hopefully I can fix it for you.

[eNforce]

I wouldn't know what to look for when you say weird HTML in the source, but no I'm not getting any errors of any sort :)

Click (http://www.seriosgaming.com/forum.php) , it works just fine when placed under navbar just no where else :surprised:

Turn the compression hack off, "Uncompress Templates", so I can actually read the HTML.. lol

Then place it under the forums I believe you said; see what we have then..

Hmm the shoutbox appears.. im not registered though, i imagine it gives you someway to input text.

[eNforce]

Okay, I uncompressed and put shoutbox at the bottom, now it's showing :)

So maybe it's the template compressor's fault not the plugin accel :squareeyed:

Well, I'm just confused now

[Trigunflame]

Okay, I uncompressed and put shoutbox at the bottom, now it's showing :)

So let me get this straight, it works fine as long as its uncompressed? But when you compress it, it only works at the top?

Ya this is a template compressor problem -_-, lets go back over there.

[Reef]

lol. got your hands full with releasing these 2 at once...

I did the reinstall as requested and recieved the same errors again.. This time I only replaced functions.php with the original and everything is loading so far..

I will zip and PM you a link to those files requested as someone would throw a fit if I posted original vb code here :(

dear coder...

when we can accept final version will be relase...
i trust this & Compress Forum Templates
together will be a grate things..

Update

Critical Bug Fix, dealing with code with double backslashes \\ creating parse errors, it was kicking my butt determining the source of the error, but its now fixed; thats gonna solve a LOT of problems for anyone that had trouble in the past.

If you have installed this hack in the past, download the new Release Immediately, just replace the class_plugin_accelerator.php with the new one.

[goyo]

Thank You Trigunflame

This is the biggest Vb optimization for 3.5.x branch! No problems so far...

Combined with template compressor it's accelerated around 15-30% (on reply's and searches more, on showthread, index less but still visible...)
Now with over 500 concurrent users our board (http://www.borda.ca/) actually stays usable...it means you can download a page in less than a minute :nervous: .

Thank You once again... :)

not sure its working as surely as you are mate, i installed it as per instructions, changed all perms on every file listed in the hooks file.....and enabled it.

first i was presented with a parse error, with Tstrings and whitespace errors all over the place, then when i disabled, and re enabled, the board came on, but the forumhome looked like it had been ravaged by feature eating animals....ie.....nothing was wrrking as it should....lol

Which plugins do you have installed; the files that reported the parse errors can you keep 2 copies, 1 after its been modified (and has the problems, just rename it and place it elsewhere and the original file along with it. You could zip both of these up and upload them somewhere; just PM me with the info.

After I exam the files that are corrupted I will make the appropriate fixes to the hack.

Thanks for the report.

Ps. Did the problem occur after enabling, build all hooks, or build all plugins

[Gizmo5h1t3]

i have absolutely LOADS of stuff installed...probably too much to be honest....

the fiel that reported the parse error, strangely was global .php in the root....which to my knowledge isnt altered with your hack....

also, it gave the error on line 1135, which is weird, as my global.php in the root only has 700 odd lines....lol

the problem occurs after enabling the hack, when ive clicked on "build all hooks"....

the board still shows, but with everything missing on forumhome from all my installed hacks..the tables are all still there, but no content....

then, when i click "build all plugins".....i get the weird parse error in the root/global.php.

ive uninstalled it for now

Worked well, other than it stopped Dean C's URL re-write mod from working when active, so i've had to disable it for now. Also had to disable the template compressor for the same reason (both affect the url re-write independantly of each other).

Just installed it and I'm quite happy with this but one plugin does not work.

It seems your code does strip one slash that shouldn't be stripped...

I uploaded you two files with the old plugin code and the code that was produced by your script.
It loses the slash in front of the $varname I guess...

[Trigunflame]

There is a "list" of filenames inside includes/hook_files.php that you have to change the permissions on.

Generally chmod all the files in your primary forum directory to 777, then chmod pretty much all of the files inside your forums includes directory (Do Not Chmod your Config File, leave it 755 or whatever it may be).

[Trigunflame]

I don't understand why backslashes are added when you downloading a plain txt file (maybe wrong browser? ;)) - with mine the files look just like they should.

Those problems have to do with the Template Compressor, please read my first post in that thread.

You probably need to add forumhome to your ignored template settings for the compressor.

You should have no big problems with this latest release but make a backup of all php files affected by this mod just in case.

The worse that will happen is you will just need to replace those if you do get Fatal Errors preventing page loading after running this.

I've been polling my members for a few days now concerning any noticable speed increase after installing this and the template compressor here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=107615). Only a couple members stated they can't tell a difference and 'nobody' has said it is now slower.

I've been polling my members for a few days now concerning any noticable speed increase after installing this and the template compressor here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=107615). Only a couple members stated they can't tell a difference and 'nobody' has said it is now slower.

Well it all has to do with the % of plugins, someone with 10-15 + plugins are going to notice a much bigger difference than if for example someone only has 1-2.

And actually the system is not finished yet, to truely get the extra speed which require a modification to remove the loading of phpcode from the db which is still being done even though its not used.

The e-steki smilie maker dont work when you put in the bb codes in the threads...for example if i put this in the thread "[smilie=1,1,1]" then it should have a smilie graphic, but after the accelerator enable, it gives me a missing graphic [x] box instead. After i disable it, then it works normally. What do u suggest or can u fix this?

ok thanks

but does this edit templates? database? it will only affect the php files?

[Reef]

This does not mess with the database or any templates. Only a couple phrases are added.

[MissKalunji]

ok im gon give it a shot!

[MissKalunji]

trying to install but stuck there


- Take a look at the list of filenames in "hook_files.php", this
the list of files that will parsed, and modified when hooks are
changed.

- After looking at that list, be sure to change permissions on the files
so that they can be written to; the script tries to do this automatically
but depending on the server may or may not; it will tell you if I cant
write to the files.



i dont understand what im suppose to do there hook_files.php ? i dont have that on my server

Thanks

[Paul M]

hook_files.php is part of this hack, if you don't have it, you haven't installed it correctly.

It should be in the zip file, you place hook_files.php into your forums includes/ directory.

[MissKalunji]

ok thx

[MissKalunji]

well funny me it slowed it down

[dai-kun]

My server ran out of space and I didn't notice it until awhile ago. The plugin accelerator wasn't able to write to the files and now my forum is down because of some error. I freed the server now of a few GB's of space but it doesn't work still. Is there anyway where I can rebuild the pluin/hooks since I cannot access my admincp to do that because it gives me this error when I login to my admincp (I can't login normally at the main forum also)


Warning: main(DIR/includes/functions_login.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx.com/forum/login.php on line 38

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'DIR/includes/functions_login.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxx.com/forum/login.php on line 38

No such file or directory

That doesn't look good.. Try replacing the affected php files with backups

I wonder why vBulletin seems to use the database for -everything-, even avatars by default and templates :/

I run a fairly active board so i'm not sure if I would install this on production yet... but if I can help you test i'd love to.

[wanderer-zero]

is this hack safe to install on a live board? I use about 6-7 plugins and I think this would help my forums a lot, but I want to use this with as little risk as possible...

Simultaneously no.. but applied to each server accordingly yes. Being that it would require independent updating.. but then again the hack is not finished.. im working on multiple things at once which is why i havnt updated this hack recently.

1. Working on Vbulletin Notification Application that notifies users of new pms, subscribed threads etc..

2. Working on a large project (Vbulletin Administrator Control Panel) that will deal with administrating multiple servers from one application that will be low memory usage and efficient.

Cheers.

[pross]

Just to let you know, upgraded our board to 3.5.4 tonite..and the mod is still working fine :D

[Trigunflame]

nice.

[Andreas]

Hmm ... not necessarily.

If you do it individually or establish some kind of synchronization it should work.

For example you could use a NFS volume for all webservers

Works fine but I needed to disable this hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93415), otherwise I get the following error...

Yes i know about that one, it is actually a problem with how the script is coded but doesnt show itself due to vbulletins buffered output.

Basically its calling the replacepngtags() before the actual function is defined. You can solve that problem by moving the function definition above the actual call to it..

in lamens terms..

you want

function nameofthefunction()
{

}

nameofthefunction()

instead of vice versa.

It would be nice if could automatically rebuild upon plugin edit/enable/disable/delete, product import/enable/disable/delete

But this hack is more important ;)

[MissKalunji]

i agree with andreas

[Trigunflame]

It will get finished eventually, there are quite a few more code changes that need to be applied to a vb install to get the full benefit of this hack.

[MissKalunji]

and im very anxious to test it out :-d

[lordofgun]

Quick question: I keep getting this when trying to change permissions for some files (note that it does let me change some files permissions on the list, but not others):

[21:12:27] SITE CHMOD 666 attachment.php
[21:12:27] 550 attachment.php: Operation not permitted.

Any ideas?

try chmod it ?

Thats usually pretty indicative of a ownership problem. You may want to delete those files from your server and reupload them through ftp; you should then be able to perform a CHMOD on them.

I am missing (bottom forumhome) these plugins

I already deleted the plugin above and re-chmodded files to 0644 but they are still missing in FF, IE, Avant.

What could it be? I ran database optimizer but no good. Was working just fine prior. I actually tried to disable all 3 as well, yet "legend" (only header/title) STILL shows up (as it did when enabled also). Could it be improper file permissions?

If you uninstall Plugin Accelerator; you must first revert the modification it does to the files using the admincp.

Otherwise you need to reupload your vbulletin php files and ovewrite the ones on your server.

Also please make sure you are not confusing this hack with template compressor.

[Trigunflame]

How stable is this just now (in your opinion) and if I install it, run it, and it all goes haywire, can I undo the changes made with a press of a button?

Thanks.

Its a lot more stable than it used to be. And yes should be able to enable/disable it which will revert the modifications to the files. In the event a file is corrupted for some reason just overwrite it with your copy of the file.

It should, some plugins do weird things with the accelerator.. until I figure out what it is.. you may have to repeat those steps each time you make a change to the plugins.

Its a rare occurance though, it doesnt happen as much as it used to.. sometimes if you re-run the script the 2nd time it wont happen..

Strange!!!!!!!! After got the adminfunction_template.php error.. I rebuild the hooks cache n rebuilt all plugins.. Thn I got the same class_bbcode error..

It was just the install.txt was modified.. nothing major yet.

[cd1986]

This latest version was working well, until i disabled the accelerator to see if it was conflicting with another hack i have installed. After refreshing my forum, i noticed a number of things had disappeared (such as post count, forum activity). Went to check out the files on ftp to find a number of them had had content deleted (including member.php, functions.php, showthread.php). I re-uploaded the files and all was well again, but i've uninstalled the accelerator for now.

Is there any common reason for file content being erased when enabling / disabling the accelerator?

[MentaL]

Would this work well with vbseo installed also?

[Trigunflame]

How can i delete all of this from my database.........I finished the install of the 3 hack's listed above and it literally killed my site......I no longer am able to use shoutbox, attachment's in quickreply, photoshop images on forum home, etc...........

I really really need help trying to figure out how to get this problem resolved. All of the hack's show they are still installed on my site, but yet, none of them will appear now......

I have removed the hack's here, in reverse order and still no luck getting my forum's to work correctly......

Hello....Here Lots of people using it?

Curious..really...what abt your performance y improvment?
Hope noticed that, after installing that some .php files size(kb) getting bigger......

How many (app) plugins did u have installed in ur ord?
What difference did u noticed b4 & after installing it?

THankx

[Paul M]

Hope noticed that, after installing that some .php files size(kb) getting bigger......Since this replaces one line of code calling a hook, with all the actual hooks code, then the files are bound to get bigger.

[Zia]

Thnkx Paul..

:) any one tell me plz forum's performance b4 & after install it?

[Trigunflame]

There is no way to determine a universal performance % increase because it is relative to the amount of plugins that you have enabled and how much code is used inside of those plugins.

So yes you will see an improvement, however like with many of my other releases.. which I am still busy with; this is not complete and as such its not at 100% efficiency.

When a full release comes out, it will require some changes to vbulletin itself, IE. Disable Querying of the Plugin Code at all.

[hydn]

beware this hack crashed my forums COMPLETELY. After clicking enable i was welcome by blank pages everywhere and a 20mb per min error log.

I have 12 plugins and hacks and i've NEVER EVER had problems with any hack besides this. May be just me but this is a forum and thus i'm posting my experience.

I'm also going to remove the template compress hack. just not as seamless as hellcats.. even if his isn't as effective it WORKS and without any issues for the last month on my forums.

Even after my site rebuild, i am still finding issue's that i have to reupdate everyday, and ever template that i had, i had to redo.

The concept of this hack is great, but it really should be toward's a new site, or a site that is going to a total upgrade from scratch, and install this first, then your hacks.

tho this thread for acclerator of pluigns...but compressor also a bit related...

we had lotttss probs with this acclerator....and hope so they been reported here.......we got this acclerator(ver Rc3) uninstalled few weeks back...
maybe where there will be a proper upgrade,we will install it again...

in my view this kinda sofsticated hack needed to release as a full working version,while it playes seriously with problem.

lets hope...we will got an proper working update......

[nick_1]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to mention my experience using the Plugin Accelerator so far. I had a minor problem trying to enable the Accelerator. I fixed it by adding editing plugin.php and changing the following:
/*
* Handle Turning On and Off the Plugin Accelerator
*/
$p_accel = new vb_plugin_accelerator();
$p_accel->change_status();


To:
/*
* Handle Turning On and Off the Plugin Accelerator
*/
$p_accel = new vb_plugin_accelerator();
$p_accel->change_status();
$p_accel->acc_p_enabled = 0;
Now its all set up I've seen a drop of load from something like 1.60 to 1.22 with the same number of users on the site. Quite impressive although I do have a lot of plugins installed.

I am very sorry if i was a pain earlier. For anyone having problems with this, you should add whatever template is giving you problems to the ignore list in the template compresssor, uncompress the templates and recompress and it shoul dwork fine. Thank you for some great hacks Trigunflame

Problem: SpamBuster v1.0.0 (Stable): Identify, log and remove spam posts on your forum

Installed the above hack and I was getting this error: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=946104&postcount=45

After the author of Spambuster pointed out that its this hack thats causing my problems so I thought I would post here as a heads up.

My fix was: Disable Plugin Accelerator and errors have gone away.

[bashy]

I dont have that many problems, Only one now (was 2) and thats clicking a

What have i forgot please?

I also have this problem :confused: Blank page in ACP so can't disable the mod. Tried to disable it by edit config.php, but the board won't get back. As far as I experienced with this mod, my forum will be back to normal after few hours.

Having the same problem <blank page on all section>with Template Cache mod, it's too bad that I can only use Template Compressor on my board :)

[viyanali]

I installed all three hacks (Plugin Accelerator , Compress Forum Templates Template Cache System) no problems at all..all working fine..combined with APC the forum couldnt be faster now:)
wanna just say thank you:)

[viyanali]

Hi again..this is the third day i testet Plugin Accelerator...I decided to uninstall it..reason for that: it causes server load..more then twice as normal when i enable accelerator...hope you can improve this hack to get more useable...

[MissKalunji]

were you rebuilding plugings constantly?

[viyanali]

sure...after enabling i clean hook cache and rebuild plugins... from first second the server loads begin..and after hours still twice server load as usual...
after disabling the server load gets normal..

[DementedMindz]

how does it affect your server load? i dont think this would make your server load go up... i think its something else or the server your on....

[viyanali]

sry but i testet now 3 days and watched the server load...i made also tests and its definitly the Accelerator...After i disable the Accelerator the server load goes down in 1-2 seconds and stays constantly then..I know it should "normally" make the server load down but thats the situation.. cant say if it has something to do with my server but shouldnt be the Accelerator make the server load at any server go down? so thats not logical.. there are no install issues so something like that..the hack is working or seems to working without error and i couldnt log any errors...its just make serverload..why i really dont know...

[DementedMindz]

hmmm thats strange... i may try it out on mine and see if i see any difference... but the only thing i seen from when i first installed it was a improvement

[MissKalunji]

what would you want to do that for??? hmm if thats fun when your bored i would hate to see what you do when your not bored

[michaelbenson]

Is there any work around for those users who dont quite feel comfortable, in a shared hosting environment to CHMOD vBulletin files to 666/777, even though this is not advised by vBulletin Support team members?

cant believe that you took that what i wrote serious...:confused:

I want to see this too. Perhaps have it show the code edits and you manually do them. This is the only thing keeping me from installing this.

[serhat_kk]

Is this really working?
And compatible with 3.5.4 ???

[Dermo-MIO]

^id like to know if its compatable as well

[DementedMindz]

yes it works for 3.5.4

[theodonnells]

How do i know whether this is enabled or not? I dont get any confirmation about whether its enabled or disabled in my admincp, when i click any option all i get is a blank page..

[sickboy6ths]

It's running pretty OK... Except it's not compatible with the vrewrite product, as I am unsure which file is causing the problems I can not send it, does anyone else have this problem and/or does anyone know the fix? :)

EDIT
Ok sent you the files by PM

[da420]

Im curious of this myself. Would like to see an answer to this. ;)

[Paul M]

The whole point of this system is it edits your files, to do that they must be writable. There is no way round that.

[da420]

Cool, I installed this last night, and I have not noticed anything spectacular as far as performance wise. But, I have not had any errors.

[PennylessZ28]

uninstalled it and turned all the pages blank? had to manually disable plugins??? WTF

[PennylessZ28]

I don't think I've ever been so pissed the ++++ off!

[Zia]

its competiable with 3.5

but we had to uninstall it...we had lots of problem using this one...

after removing it...we had no probs at all..

**think twice before instal it**

[MissKalunji]

mines working perfectly from the start *knocks on wood*

[nymyth]

dying to try this out, however thats a lot of php files to change chmod to and back again.....wow....autoscript doesnt work for me...

Peace

[Neo_Angelo]

great code but i keep getting this message:

Can not write changes to (/home/fhlinux188/r/rpcentral.net/user/htdocs/ajax.php).

This system needs WRITE access to the specified files listed in /home/fhlinux188/r/rpcentral.net/user/htdocs/includes/hook_files.php

yet i've checked all the boxes for permissions to the hook_files.php file

I come from the land of phpbb, where the subcategories hack for example require you to work your way thru a 450kb .TXT file... this is a joy!

**Real appriciation for vB comes when you used phpbb** ;)

[Brandon Sheley]

I've installed on 2 site and had errors,, wont try it again :(

[wideopen]

OK I just installed this..Now I'm having problems??

Where do I do this??

- Click "Rebuild Hook Cache". This will build the cache used for compiling
plugin code into the FileSystem, anytime you add a new hook location in the code
you will want to re-run this to reparse the file and update the cache.

- Click "Rebuild All Plugins". This will take care of compiling all of your enabled
plugins into their appropriate files.

[Coldhands]

Does this work with 3.5.4?? If not, do you see an update in the near future?

[Cky47]

Can someone help me out a little here.

I made a backup of my site (mysql) before I used trigunflames template compross/template cache/plugin accelerator hacks, and they seemed to be running fine. But then I closed my admin panel and went to work.

When I came back and tried logging into my control panel for the first time after installing the mods it just sends me to the home page. It wont even show the login.

So... I made a new database with the backup on it, and switched the site to that databse, and then tryed my admincp thinking it was the mysql in the plugins/products installed. But... it didnt work and did the same thing.

I tryed re-editing the files to their orginal state, and it doesnt seem to be working? I could have missed something, but I ran the installs backwards so there should be nothing left of anyhting, but yet it still doesnt work.

Anyone got a clue, or can tell me what I am doing wrong?

The modcp and the rest of the site still works fine... its just the admin panel.

[Cky47]

Can someone please help me? My site is working fine, I just cant get into my admin panel for some reason.

[Raptor]

i have 3.5.4 and use this mod - however want to upgrade to 3.6.0

do i need to uninstall or will an upgrade work for me ?

whats the process - thanks

[MissKalunji]

working perfectly on 3.6 tsill hoping for more update!

[Harley D]

Can someone please help me? My site is working fine, I just cant get into my admin panel for some reason.

Try clearing your cookies in your browser, Had something like this happen, after clearing my admin cookie was able to log in.

Good luck

[imported_infitech]

If you uninstall Plugin Accelerator; you must first revert the modification it does to the files using the admincp.

Otherwise you need to reupload your vbulletin php files and ovewrite the ones on your server.

Also please make sure you are not confusing this hack with template compressor.
what do u mean revert the modifications it does to the files using admincp? using admincp how?
ive tried disabling it before the uninstall but it just doesnt work...
this thing wont let me uninstall it without messing everything up.

[imported_infitech]

anyone?

Can not write changes to (/home/gifteds/public_html/gs/announcement.php).

Please use your FTP Client or other system, and Change Permissions on specified files to 666 or 777 depending on your setup.

Yet I have uploaded again and again and gave all permissions. Any ideas?

[JohnBee]

Installed and... wow!
I could tell immediately that my site has improved in performance. I have over 100 plugins installed and this hack makes it feel like im running near default!

PS. always backup your entire dB and all the files to be edited before installing!!! this way you can roll back without any worries.
Thanks for a great hack!

[JohnBee]

Unfortunately I had to uninstall this.

The performance enhancement was great! but I have many larger hacks that I suspect I would need to re-install to get working and some of them would loose there setting in an overwrite :(

When I upgrade my forum, I will install this hack first and foremost. I think it's a great addition to forum optimization especially when we run many plugins.

[IrPr]

What About 3.6?
is compatible with?

[rjmjr69]

Yes I would love to know if this is working for 3.6.4

Do you really have to uninstall large hacks to get it to run proper

[mahakala]

nice hack

[rjmjr69]

Well I guess there is no updates going on with this hack. Has the author done anything new lately? I would love to know if this is working in 3.6.4

[rjmjr69]

Bump

[MissKalunji]

its working on my 3.6.0 but no he hasnt updated this in LONG time last time he logged in was in may 2006

[testpig]

Likewise I would love to see a 3.6 version of this hack. It made a major difference to my site.

[mrmike]

Thanx for a great hack! Love it!

But my bb codes does'nt work anymore :(

Does it compatible with vbb 3.6.x ?

Searching "3.6" in this thread is impossible :|

[MissKalunji]

yeah it works but some other mod might be conflicting with it...i had to uninstall cause of that but i run it on 3.6.0 for months

[ariesvn174]

Good Addon

[profanitytalker]

Very nice hack man. :D I love you!!

[mhackl]

Has anyone noticed a significant improvement in forum performance?

[rob30UK]

will this work on 3.6.8?

[MissKalunji]

@ mhackl Yes it did help at first til i removed some useless hack

@ rob20uk i doubt it will cause on 3.6.0 it had a hard time to work properly

[Hornstar]

A shame this is not updated with 3.6.8 or even with 3.7 :/

Guess its time to uninstall this one until it can be updated again.

[maidos]

any update on this?

[MissKalunji]

no the last time the author came up here was a year ago

[SoulSuite]
