Yuber - I'll try to get to that as soon as I can. With the release of vB3 though I'm going to be very busy trying to get everything on my site to work with it.

WitchyT - Did you change the url of each of your smilies to the full url (ex /forum/images/smilies) as instructed in the readme file?

Goat Boy - The code for the online users bit is pretty much the same as the code in your forum/index.php, so they should behave in the same way. What is the usergroup id of your moderators group?

csidlernet - Thanks for the offer, but I'm pretty much finished with the vB3 version of this hack. I still have a couple of things to do, but it is finished for the most part.

Intex - No problem. I should be able to start working on the new method to pull the weather info for the vB3 version of this hack soon, so I should be able to port it over for a final release of the vB2 version. ;)

Exero - That wouldn't be anything to do with this script. It looks like it's having a problem trying to select a random user on your forum's homepage.

DigitalDesktops - Try removing the final trailing slash from the path to your forums. ;)

Tigga means business!!! :confused:

Hey Tigga, I just setup the new version 3.2.2 and i dont see any difference from 3.1

The page doesnt load any faster. Is there some other things that I am not seeing?

Here are the two URLs:
http://www.xtremods.com/index.php (3.1)
http://www.xtremods.com/myvbindex.php (3.2.2)

I have it so it tells you how fast the page wasgenerated at the bottom...

The page actally uses an extra query and takes longer to load...

BTW, this is a great hack and you have done a great job...! I am just wondering if i am missing something...

Thanks!

Any chance we can get a sneak peak of the vb3 version of this hack? not, official, of course :)

I don't want to sound rude or mean or anything, it's not meant this way at all. I am just wondering when the version for vB3 will be out, and since VB3 hacks will not be posted yet, will you upload it somewhere else until they are allowed?

I am wondering because my site is a business site, and the slowest time of the year is during the summer, so I want to be able to do this all in the upcoming few weeks, or ASAP to have the site down for as little time as possible (some people will still be checking it out for next year's registration, etc.)

Just curious. :)

XtReMaTriX - The 2 pages seemed to be loading at about the same speed for me, and both had 19 queries. The main change in the new version is the way forum permisions are done and people with larger forums (over 100,000 posts) are the ones that would notice the biggest difference. The pages do seem to be loading a little slow though, so if you'd like to put your server in debug mode, do an explain=1 on the page, and post the results here I'll be glad to take a look and see if anything can be done to speed it up.

Kyle_TX - So far the new version is pretty much the same as the old one, except it will use less queries (thanks to vB3 and some of it's features ;)) and less templates since I'll be taking full advantage of the new "if conditions". I'm not sure how many more options I will add to the first vB3 version... It's going to be quite a bit of work for me to upgrade my entire site to work with vB3, so the first version will most likely be the same as the current one for vB2 until I have time to add new features.

Lacrosse Boy - I know a few people will be waiting on this before they can upgrade their boards (I'm in the same boat, but with a lot more than an index page to recode :p) so I'm planning on asking one of the mods if it would be ok to email or PM the script to others per request once it's finished.

Thanks Tagga, I will give it a shot, have never used Debug Mode so I will have to try and figure it out...

Just add
$debug='1';
Right before the ?> at the end of your admin/config.php file. Then go to the url http://www.xtremods.com/myvbindex.php?explain=1 and that will list all the queries and how long each one took. ;)

Here are the results to the debug mode... (had to zip up the HTML file...)

Thanks again!

Check your PMs. :)
