[TheSupportForum]

i am currently working on adding support to stop others stealing bandwidth
i am testing this on my site
www.dungeonlordsrpg.co.uk

i am testing it in beta mode at present and will update people on the results

[M-Tuning]

So this one should be better then yslow?

[TheSupportForum]

yes, i just adapted it to work faster

i am currently working on Adding HTTP_USER_AGENT
currently have aprox 80 to list

all you need to do is add it to your existing .htaccess file

[FleaBag]

I'm baffled by how it works, but it seems to. Good going!

[TheSupportForum]

if anyone has used
YSLOW 1.0.3
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=178286

please compare your forum speed, would appreciate comments, and anything you wish to be added to this mod

remember i am adpating during the week, an update will be available by Saturday GMT Time UK

[FENIX]

Works with my chatbox whereas yslow's did not.

Cheers *clicks installed*

[jewropa]

[Barakat]

yes !

[TheSupportForum]

</IfModule> is a closing tag for the rewrite module. <IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>

[jewropa]

I know, ^^ but i mean, which meaning have this part of the script, cause i use VbSeo and i woll not make conflict between the scripts

[TheSupportForum]

try it, if it causes conflick, post the conflict and i will atempt to correct any bugs found for any mods

[M-Tuning]

It's working fine with me (v2) but removed the hotlink protection, I don't need it :D

[hilfe-forum]

Q.
I have on some Boards VBSEO or ZONTS SEO and Board home is .forum.php not index. php
some of my board are on Subdomains
1. Board www.domain1.eu
2. Board use forum.domain1.eu
3. Board use music.domain2.eu
some of my board inklude picture from my other board.
Work this all with your Mod?

(sorry for my bad english)

[TheSupportForum]

this will work fine if you have images from othersites
it just means that the website you currently have images from other sites, their domain is not hotlink protected

however if they uploaded this mod you would not see those images anymore

[TheSupportForum]

Q.
I have on some Boards VBSEO or ZONTS SEO and Board home is .forum.php not index. php

(sorry for my bad english)

just change index.php to forum.php

[hilfe-forum]

just change index.php to forum.php

:up: THX ;)

[Super Jinni]

what about subdomains?

my forum subdomain is like this
http://forum.my-site.com

and my website is like this:
http://www.my-site.com

so which one to put in the .htaccess file?

the website's or the forum's?

maybe my question seems to be dumb but I want things to be much clear here ^^

thanks

:)

[TheSupportForum]

this is an example you would add below RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://johnp.opendns.com/.*$ [NC]

just remplace it with your subdomain details

get bakc to me once tested

[TheSupportForum]

you would put both is just add the code above

[soundbarrierpro]

Hmmm. I'd like to use it, but how's it different than YSLOW? I installed that and a couple of my mods stopped working and my CSS would go all out of whack when I F5 or manually refreshed.

[TheSupportForum]

belive me, this one has not erros that do that
look through my replies to others, you'll find it works better that his

[soundbarrierpro]

Ok, I'm backing up now, and trying. Now as for the htaccess. I already have one. Do I just copy the contents and add to my existing?

Thank you for responding.

[Jack0919]

I'm the author of YSLOW 1.0.3

I'll be happy if my mod has been advanced by NOT this way.

I feel my mod was stolen.

[Boofo]

By forums root, do you mean domain/forums or just domain?

[soundbarrierpro]

Well, if it's any consolation to anybody, this one too blew everything out of whack. I deleted it.

[Lionel]

You've got a major bug in there somehow with cookies. I installed this and was very pleased. But it's effectively killing my vbcart cookie based shopping cart. When you add an item in the cart, it will not take a second one. Man... I went weeks into testing this modification, beat it up all the way and all works just fine until I put that htaccess. For 2 hours I was lost, could not figure out why this was happening, until I disabled the htaccess.

I think that this also hurt anyone who is using IPN to post back to the site

Uninstalling ...

[Bounce]

If your boards are that busy then you should be on a decicated server and that should be fast enough to cope without installing anything :D

you show try adding
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*cookies=true.*$
under RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

[TheSupportForum]

or
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !(^|(.+;)*)Usercheck=validated(;.*|$)

[Lionel]

That does not work. It won't even let me clear cart ...

I think it has an effect on $_POST

[TheSupportForum]

do you have cookies enabled or disabled ?

[elmati]

I'm testin this :)
Thanks!

[Lionel]

Of course they are enabled. Everytime that I try this mod, I must clear all cookies in order to surf normally

[Mr:Ishi]

it says internal server error after i upload

[TheSupportForum]

i just updated it download new version

[Deimos]

Why can't you work with Jack0919 on improving his version instead of releasing this one?
Seems pointless having two mods which do the same job

[TheSupportForum]

i work on trying to improve it to add more stuff, many people say his does not work properly

i only released this today, due to my forum being slow and using his mod, but found it useless

so i started to change some of the code to suite the whole forum

[M-Tuning]

Would be the best thing to do

[RobParker]

How do either of these mods affect server load?

It sounds like you're making apache do more work and increasing the load, so that the page appears to load faster?

If we're already at our server capacity, will this actually make things worse?

[Lionel]

That cookie situation is affecting all my other sites. If you logout then log back in, you must refresh the page for it to accept the cookie ....

[TheSupportForum]

htaccess can affect server load, but until i see it happen i will report this a bug to fix
i am currntly working on

Cookie Control
and kuch more

[TheSupportForum]

That cookie situation is affecting all my other sites. If you logout then log back in, you must refresh the page for it to accept the cookie ....

i've just removed it myself, and will report this a a bug

jst remove this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !(^|(.+;)*)Usercheck=validated(;.*|$)
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*cookies=true.*$

[Ideal Web Tech]

Taking somebody else modification and cleaning it up without their permissions is against the rules. You must have permission to re release a modification even if you have cleaned it up. The original code that you started working with was not your own. The best solution would be to work with the original author and not steal his work. Its just not good ethics.

[Jack0919]

I don't think you did a good thing to YSLOW.

Of course, you are welcome to put forward to correct the YSLOW.

But, You are in acts tantamount to theft.

[TheSupportForum]

people have reported bugs to your version

i am adapting it to work with all mods including VBSeo

[Super Jinni]

hey, guys

I've using YSLOW for several days now, and users are happy since I installed it and they told me that the forum became faster

so (Simonhind snd Jack0919), why don't you find a way to work it together..

I'm sure both of you are have good ideas about this.. and if you co-operate you will come up with something greate

just try to do the best.. and that is the best for everyone here...

thanks for both of you

:)

am am getting pissed off at the moment i need to help getting a site offline for good

everyone visit this link and find out why
http://www.vbteam.info/vb-3-7-x-addons-template-modifications/6049-make-fourm-faster.html

someone who has a licence is submitting these file the this site

need help and suggestions

[TheSupportForum]

is no one can acces it i will give you the details

[Pady]

thanks, works great

[Jack0919]

<font color="DarkRed">three different between this mod and mine.

1st is the charset: first ,i used the some code with simonhind in YSLOW 1.0.1,but I update in YSLOW 1.0.2,because there is some people reported bugs, after I update,the report stoped.

2nd is the HTTP_REFERER siteurl , I update it too, some of people who still have YSLOW 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 will see the config i have set.

3rd is HTTP_USER_AGENT. I try this before,and don't think it's a good idea for this mad.

However, I'd like to work with anybody for this mod.

but, there is no a word before my mod been take an edit, i don't care if the mod is under my name, but at least, before you take this mod as yours, or you want to edit it , plz let me know.

I do not want to work with somebody without the basic ethics.

sorry for my poor English, I'm hard to explain myself clearly,but whatever,maybe it's just not a good place for a Chinese.

Any way you might be able to get it to work with the following?

MGC_Chat_Evo
Cinvin Forum Listings
vbAdvanced cmps

?

My entire infrastructure blows up if I use this. I need something to make it faster.

[TheSupportForum]

i think i would be interested in helping you improve it
people are reporting mine being faster

people are asking if it works with vbseo
this i do not know
OK- Lets work together

[Chadi]

This sorely slowed down my forum to a near halt. I am using Vbseo as well, perhaps that might be why.

[Barakat]

i dont know what to say rather than a good hosting with a good server will
give you the needs of surfing your site better that to use codes ,,,
maybe iam wrong and maybe not but i believe that the rewrite codes will slow it for sure,

[elmati]

With this mod installed can not be customized profiles. When you save changes the changes are not saved. I think it's a problem of cache.
With YSLOW that's not happens.

[redlabour]

Make Fourm Faster? Does?nt you mean Make Forum Faster?
