[nitra1000]

Credit for this code and it's investigative work goes to digitalpoint, in his artical on optimizing vbulletin (http://articles.digitalpoint.com/content.php?r=7-Optimize-vBulletin-4).

Credit for making this hack know to me goes to Special Pages (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=409756).

This plugin makes your forum load quicker, by cleaning your cache (which never gets cleaned up).... One member has reported a there site starting at 8.56 seconds before this mod but after installing.. 5.73 seconds

Any1 test it? Some benchmarks?

I've got it running on my website as well as my google site speed mod... so give it 48 hours and i'll have some :)

[HellRZR]

What do you use as a benchmark tool...

[nitra1000]

My Google site speed (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=264216) mod.

[HellRZR]

How about thanking, digitalpoint, the true author of this code? Did you secure his permission to release it as a mod?

As far as I'm aware Special Pages is the original author... the page is linked in the header. I asked for his permission to package this into an .xml and recieved it.

Because it wasn't my idea my usual footer link in the xml has been left out.


How about you try to be helpful and give me a link to the Digital Point article, so I can investigate this properly tommorow evening.

[Boofo]

Did you bother reading TheLastSuperman's post in Special Pages' thread? He linked it there, IIRC.

Thanks for your help found the post (I designed this and prepared it for release before that post was made), I'll send him (digitalpoint) a PM. Asking if he wants it removed or credit where it's due.

p.s Don't think the bad in everyone... I'm sure Special Pages was trying to be helpful, as was I

[nitra1000]

Permission has been granted by digitalpoint via pm on his forums, I will edit this mod tommorow to properly credit his artical.

I would appriate if a mod could edit out this series of posts as they have nothing to do with support of the modification (happy to provide proof of said permission if you pm me)

[cravendale]

Must you re import this for each clean up or does it clean it every so often?

[nitra1000]

Cleans every hour automaticly

[cravendale]

Cool..

And how can I tell if this is working?

[nitra1000]

The simplicity means it can't really not... if you look at your plugins there should be an item there

You can trust the code to work because its recommended by the likes of digitapoint

[Special Pages]

Actually digitalpoint didn't invent this. He just found it out and he probably wasn't even the 1st to find it out. :P

I'd put my money on him being the first to figure it out. It has been posted in his article for quite a while. Way before you claimed it as yours.

[copjend]

Good thanks

Who cares who thought of it first, thanks for the xml version.

[Manoel J?nior]

Functionally in 3.8.7?

[Boofo]

Who cares who thought of it first, thanks for the xml version.

If you ever grow up to be a coder, you will understand then.

[nitra1000]

Functionally in 3.8.7?
Might be easier jsut to install it manually I don't have 3.8 to test

[Special Pages]

Never claimed it as mine. :P

[Boofo]

By not posting credit to where you got it from is the same thing.

[TheLastSuperman]

Never claimed it as mine. :P

I'm going to be completely honest here.. I tried to hold back I always do however Special Pages, riceboi... I'm not sure what to call you but this is you here posting correct?

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/371406-Optimizing-vB4?

Less than 10 days before you posted that as a mod and you mean to tell me your memory slipped that badly? You even further down the page said it was code you used and it worked then furthermore you quoted and agreed it was in fact by digitalpoint. It's not the fact that it's a simple bit of code... heck even I said it's not like you can copyright something that simple that is meant to be used and sell it as a commercial modification *It's the simple point of the matter and your attitude that ruin it entirely.

Now you can come back with something yet your the type who justifies themselves and I'll have no part of it especially when you make a mod, a written example and instruct to post a new thread then link to it in your options for TOS or Privacy Policy was it? Remember that where you were being chewed out by another member for wanting a copyright at the bottom of the text? Not even a few weeks later you quote another member who was complaining about too many branding copyrights in the footer and agree now if that's not hypocritical I don't know what is, hey we're all free to change our minds but this many contradictions in such a short time throws a red flag up imo and I'm not sure what game your playing but I'm on the sideline for a reason.

Yes, most of us here do pay attention and will call you out if we feel your doing something wrong.

[Paul M]

Enough now please. This is a support thread, not a debate.

[eh69]

nitra have U benchmarks now?

[nitra1000]

nitra have U benchmarks now?

Not enough vistors to my site for a accurate sample, maybe someone will post them... but tbh if it's recommended by Digitalpoint (one of the first VB forums I visited after I bought VB4) it's proberbly a good move...

[BadgerDog]

Installed with thanks for testing on 4.1.3 ... :up:

Regards,
Doug

[BirdOPrey5]

Functionally in 3.8.7?

I don't know if it's necessary in 3.8 or not but I know this code would never work in 3.8, the file "class_bootstrap_framework.php" doesn't even exist in 3.8.

[Hostboard]

Anything DigitalPoint recommended should be taken into serious consideration :)
Installed on 4.13

[XiTCLUB]

[nitra1000]

http://articles.digitalpoint.com/content.php?r=7-Optimize-vBulletin-4

It automaticly adds the code for cleaning the cache yes

[Winter Sonata]

shall I do the other tips myself since this Mod is only cleans the cache ?

Thanks for the quick support, highly appreciated!

[nitra1000]

Yes, but bare in mind there file edits which wont be supported by vbulletin and will be overwritten every upgrade

[Winter Sonata]

Ah,thanks too much, installed

[SECTalk.com]

Load time went from 9.34 to 3.84 seconds after install for http://www.sectalk.com. WOW!

[zelnik]

wow.... impressive addon, my site is running notably quicker.

I'm going to be installing a custom style soon would this speed that up too or is just purely the original vB4 style?

[nitra1000]

Will work on all styles

[DjEddie]

[thecore762]

Within the hour, and yes you can by

go into your admincp > Scheduled Task Manager > Run the Hourly Clean Up task

Help
Scheduled Task: Daily Cleanup (id: 14)

Is that it?

[thecore762]

Anyways, I got it, thanks!
Looks like it helped!
Running vb 4.1.5 pl1
My forums load under one second, but this makes it that much better...
I am surprised vB did not have a built in one.

[Successfulsteps]

Thanks, installed! It honestly didn't show an improvement. I think I may have too much on my forum. But I do appreciate it, I had hope, lol.

[demo7up]

nitra1000 thanks for taking the time and putting this into an xml we can all use.... great work definitely sped up my site by 50% thanks again

[Chmura]

I have definitely noticed a difference in my forums. Thank you for this plugin!

[PakStarTv.com]

it worked 4 me................. thanks

[riskreward]

Have installed it. How to get it to work?

[riskreward]

In my Scheduled task there are two Hourly Clean up Scripts

Hourly Cleanup and
Hourly Cleanup #2

When I press edit, it shows these scripts are product of Vbulletin and not of Mod-Mall Cache. How to run this.

[stevectaylor]

take it it's not useful after 4.17+

[riskreward]

Anyone? Where is the script file located ? Without that how to create scheduled task

[BirdOPrey5]

There is nothing you need to do to activate it other than install it.

Once it's installed it's active.

It automatically runs when the hourly cleanup task runs.

[ProFifaLeagues]

Is this worth while for 4.2 ??

[Unfolded90]

6.76 Load time before installation , 6.43 after :D This was used on 4.2 vb
