Personally I don't notice any increased load, although my forum is rather small

Problem with vMoods still NOT fixed.

New error

An error occurred when saving /home/XXXXXX/public_html/forum/clientscript/vbsc.js and/or /home/XXXXXX/public_html/forum/clientscript/vbsc.js.gz. Ensure these files exist and that PHP has permission to write to them (chmod).

I have not changed anything but when i tried to compress Javascript getting this error even i tried reupload all stuff i have gave CHMOD it was working perfect week ago but suddenly new error.

I just had this problem after moving my server to a new host.

In your AdminCP, ensure File caching is turned on under Style & Language settings, and ensure that the /clientscript/vbulletin_css folder and everything under it is chmod'd to 777.

CHMOD the js and gz file to 777.

Wow totally read that wrong, had thought he had chmod'd it. Yeah, what Chop said. You need to do what it says in the error.

Great mod! I am still learning a bit of how much it is doing.

One question I have is what setting am I supposed to have that will switch the vB page to downloading the vbsc.gz file instead of the vbsc.js file? There is almost a 200k file size difference between the two and it keeps loading the larger uncompressed file. I have common javascript cache and Google Closure Compiler both set to Yes. Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding what should be happening?:confused:?

No, the .gz file is for servers that support it (nginx) to serve automatically in place of the .js rather than gzipping the .js file on every request.

If your server is serving the .js without gzipping it then you have it configured wrong ;)

Ah! Thanks!

Would it be worth trying to force my non-nginx web server to pass along the gz file? Where can I manually edit this?

This shouldn't be used when you have Store CSS as Filesheets on.

I am trying to compress the CSS but get this error:
"Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in ...vbsc.php on line 384"

I have a lot of styles... Any ideas?

Edit vbsc.php and put set_time_limit(0); on the line after the opening <?php

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

Hi..
Excellent Modification. Installed and Nominated for MOTM.

One Request, can we have the CSS Combiner like we have for Javascript files?

It used to do that, but after vB added the '-rollup' css files, the crazy amount of incompatibilities outweighed the decreased benefits. Even on an unmodified forum, including all the CSS at once introduces issues on some pages.

Plus with how inefficient the vBulletin CSS is, it's best to keep it at a minimum on each page.

I am not sure.. But, can't they be added with <vb:if condition>? Like a extra plugin at {vb:raw template_hook.headinclude_css}

That'll probably require manual removal of the existing calls.

And, what about the ability of adding custom js files?
Like, I have a few modification installed that requires js files to be loaded. A filed to add them manually would be much appreciated.

You can add them to includes/vbsc_global.php (the $GLOBALS['js_files'] array) - just remember to merge the changes when you go to update vBSC ;)

?ber cool.. :D
Do I need to change anything in templates so that the js files don't go double called?

BTW, a suggestion.. Can you add a tutorial on how we can install "nginx with ngx_http_gzip_static_module" on dedicated apache servers?

You would need to remove/comment out the existing script tags.

That's way beyond the scope of this mod. You may want to check these links out:

http://wiki.nginx.org

If you are going to go with nginx, I recommend ditching Apache completely and running PHP through PHP-FPM.

When trying to run the System Test an error message comes back saying "vB Optimise is currently offline. Please enable and configure vB Optimise to run a system test."

However the system is online. TIA.

VB 4.0.4

Wrong mod ;)

Ooops. Sorry. LOL.

Upgraded to vb4.0.4 and it still works :)

Upgraded to VB4.04, all seems to work well. However have lost my sections on VBCMS, the Section box appears but no list of section. If I disable this plug in the sections are populated again. This on the live site, not in admin.

Another Question :)
How can I send the gzipped file (vbsc.js.gz only) to the user agent instead of that uncompressed js file?

Will look into that

Your server should take care of gzipping the file if it is configured correctly.

pagespeed tell me this

<a href="http://lmgtfy.com/?q=apache+gzip" target="_blank">http://lmgtfy.com/?q=apache+gzip</a>

Just installed it and I have to say I'm impressed so far, can't find any bugs and the forum is much quicker.

Great Mod, thanks.

Is anyone else having issues with this and 4.0.4? I was getting numerous complaints of styling issues (CSS related) until I disabled this mod.

Was having no issues until 4.0.4 and I did try recreating/recompressing the CSS after the upgrade... ideas?

Seems every vBulletin upgrade breaks this plugin. I guess it has to be updated again.

I found if i disable this:-
"Enable Javascript Optimiser
Intelligently defers Javascript loading for a huge speed boost. Incompatible with a large number of mods, but very highly recommended if it works for you."

This is enabled by default. With this enabled I loose the section menu, in CMS. Looking at the html page served, the javascript looks identical to between working and not working.

I'm having problems with the log in area of the site now, the user can put in there user name but not there password. I disabled this mod and it works again.

Any pointers ??

I had the same problem, I opened a support ticket at VB.com and they found that this plugin was the cause, I was told If I leave the Javascript optimiser off (as you have aswell) then the CMS Sections widget shows ok..

Buddy..
Are you going to upgrade this to combine CSS files as well?
I can see some query strings after the css files after upgrading to vb 4.0.4

Setting up expiry header for CSS and JS files within options page will be a great addition too.

The query strings are likely just the last modification timestamps and will have no effect on caching. Also combining the CSS doesn't work - many of the CSS files are mutually exclusive (just another part of vB4's poor design).

That's for your server to handle though ;)

Yes my Section widget disappeared on me. That is the only thing I noticed though.

Quick question:

When compressing JS with Google CC enabled, the compression status page hangs (never completes). JS compression works fine with Google CC disabled. Is there something I should change on my Debian + Litespeed powered server to get Google CC to work?

need little help
run the Compress Javascript under vB4
how do this i dont see the option in vb4 supercharged

In your AdminCP, scroll the menu bar to the left allllllll the way to the bottom, theres a dropdown menu there for SuperCharged.
