disable template eval in global.php

[Princeton]

Is there a way to disable:
eval('$gobutton = "' . fetch_template('gobutton') . '";');
eval('$spacer_open = "' . fetch_template('spacer_open') . '";');
eval('$spacer_close = "' . fetch_template('spacer_close') . '";');
via plugins?

Why you want to do that?

[Princeton]

I think spacer_open/spacer_close is just bloated code.
It's not necessary -- right now, I don't even use it but it's still being cached.

Also, gobutton template is not needed. I prefer adding the input (submit) button directly to the template.

Why cache a template for a submit button??? How many characters is that --- 20-30??

Then comment those lines out.

I'll refer you to the first post ..... "via plugins"

[Marco van Herwaarden]

You could try unsetting $gobutton etc, in hook 'parse_templates'.

[Princeton]

doesn't work :(

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Did you do a global before unsetting?

Anyhow i wouldn't spend 1 minute on this, i really don't see the reason for trying to cut a few bits.

Make the Tamplates empty, unset the Variables in parse_templates, don't use them - there are many possibilites.
But honestly, I don't think it's worth even thinking about this.

Thats going to break alot of thigns on your website, spacer_open and closed are used all thoughout vB.

If I was using a stock vbulletin I would agree -- however, I'm using a custom built so any savings/cut backs would be beneficial. There is no sense in calling something that is not needed.

Yea, I know -- they have been replaced.


For those who are wondering -- the goal was to prevent modifying the files.
