But if you are using lots of plugin code (which purpose is to keep people from directly modifying files) then for the average person; this would provide that solution without them having to manually edit code.

This is one of many modifications I plan to release involving the runtime of Vbulletin; with suggestions from Scott and a couple other people; there are many more places inside vbulletin that can be optimized.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Good to see you coding again. :)

Update Everyone:

# First Working Release. Not all features are fully developed, but it does perform the primary objective.

# Automatic Re-Compiling of Plugins into Files will be presented in the next release; currently if you import, add, or update any plugin/product. Please click "Rebuild All Plugins" to refresh your files with up2date code.

----------------

In Short, this is a Functional Release; the tweaking of various parts of vbulletin to remove excess queries, and automatic recompiling on plugin add,edit,import will be presented in the next release.

I urge everyone to try this hack out and send feedback regarding any problems that you are having (If you have any).

Note: Using the built in Enable/Disable link, you can turn off the system at any point in time you wish incase a problem occurs; upon disabling it will convert all Compiled Code back into Vbulletins default Plugin Hook System and vice versa.

Thankyou.

How will [vbulletin] upgrades be handled ?

Edit: A couple of points.

1. Please make it a product, and install the phrases this way.

2. Make a custom cpnav file to cut out the editing of the vbulletin one.

Update; (visited Vbulletin.com for help on those, im so used to 3.0.x >.> glad I know about these now thx paul.

As for upgrades, all that needs to be done is running "Rebuild Hook Cache", "Rebuild All Plugins".

Ok updated the Install.txt
Created product installer: product-plugin_accelerator.xml
Created navigation addon: cpnav_plugin_accelerator.xml

ps. thanks paul for mentioning, I hadnt experimented with the product system yet. (havnt been around vb in like 6 months, lol)

I think i have scared all of the testers off, it works people; atleast give it a try. Lol.

I don't really have time until at least the weekend.

WOW! This really made everything faster. GREAT MOD!!!! THANKS!

Huge Update

- Critical bug involving active status to not be set has been resolved. Those who had problems with activating the system should now have no problems.

- Added many phrases to the system involving error messages and status messages

+ Note:

Please go through the install.txt file once more, changes were made to plugin.php which should be edited to take care of using the new phrases.

To upgrade:
Uninstall Product Vbulletin Plugin Accelerator, re-install it through the update file and move all the new files into the their appropriate places via the install.txt file.
