You should have no big problems with this latest release but make a backup of all php files affected by this mod just in case.

The worse that will happen is you will just need to replace those if you do get Fatal Errors preventing page loading after running this.

I've been polling my members for a few days now concerning any noticable speed increase after installing this and the template compressor here. Only a couple members stated they can't tell a difference and 'nobody' has said it is now slower.

Well it all has to do with the % of plugins, someone with 10-15 + plugins are going to notice a much bigger difference than if for example someone only has 1-2.

And actually the system is not finished yet, to truely get the extra speed which require a modification to remove the loading of phpcode from the db which is still being done even though its not used.

The e-steki smilie maker dont work when you put in the bb codes in the threads...for example if i put this in the thread "[smilie=1,1,1]" then it should have a smilie graphic, but after the accelerator enable, it gives me a missing graphic [x] box instead. After i disable it, then it works normally. What do u suggest or can u fix this?

ok thanks

but does this edit templates? database? it will only affect the php files?

This does not mess with the database or any templates. Only a couple phrases are added.

ok im gon give it a shot!

trying to install but stuck there

i dont understand what im suppose to do there hook_files.php ? i dont have that on my server

Thanks

hook_files.php is part of this hack, if you don't have it, you haven't installed it correctly.

It should be in the zip file, you place hook_files.php into your forums includes/ directory.

ok thx

well funny me it slowed it down

My server ran out of space and I didn't notice it until awhile ago. The plugin accelerator wasn't able to write to the files and now my forum is down because of some error. I freed the server now of a few GB's of space but it doesn't work still. Is there anyway where I can rebuild the pluin/hooks since I cannot access my admincp to do that because it gives me this error when I login to my admincp (I can't login normally at the main forum also)

Thanks

That doesn't look good.. Try replacing the affected php files with backups

nvm.. it seems like the global.php is 0 kb when i tried to upload. sorry for that ^^;
thanks

I notice that when I use this mod one of the other hack I have installed dont work https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=102882 any way to fix this ?

Works for me! Thanks!

wonderful hack... works well and easy to use. Thumbs up from me :)

can we use the Hellcat hack with this hack and the template compressor too?? would it make it faster? slower?

Interesting concept. :) This won't work for sites with multiple webservers though.

i am and i dont see no big diff yet

This hack makes vRewrite and the random banners plugin of the xbox skin, to stop working.

I wonder why vBulletin seems to use the database for -everything-, even avatars by default and templates :/

I run a fairly active board so i'm not sure if I would install this on production yet... but if I can help you test i'd love to.

is this hack safe to install on a live board? I use about 6-7 plugins and I think this would help my forums a lot, but I want to use this with as little risk as possible...

thanks for any reply.

im running no error yet

Simultaneously no.. but applied to each server accordingly yes. Being that it would require independent updating.. but then again the hack is not finished.. im working on multiple things at once which is why i havnt updated this hack recently.

1. Working on Vbulletin Notification Application that notifies users of new pms, subscribed threads etc..

2. Working on a large project (Vbulletin Administrator Control Panel) that will deal with administrating multiple servers from one application that will be low memory usage and efficient.

Cheers.

Just to let you know, upgraded our board to 3.5.4 tonite..and the mod is still working fine :D

nice.

Hmm ... not necessarily.

If you do it individually or establish some kind of synchronization it should work.

For example you could use a NFS volume for all webservers

Works fine but I needed to disable this hack, otherwise I get the following error...

Yes i know about that one, it is actually a problem with how the script is coded but doesnt show itself due to vbulletins buffered output.

Basically its calling the replacepngtags() before the actual function is defined. You can solve that problem by moving the function definition above the actual call to it..

in lamens terms..

you want

function nameofthefunction()
{

}

nameofthefunction()

instead of vice versa.

It would be nice if could automatically rebuild upon plugin edit/enable/disable/delete, product import/enable/disable/delete

Thats in the plans kirb.. from day 1, but im trying to work on about 4 different projects at once, and thus can only get so many out the door at same time :)

*points to vbulletin notification application*

But this hack is more important ;)

i agree with andreas

It will get finished eventually, there are quite a few more code changes that need to be applied to a vb install to get the full benefit of this hack.

and im very anxious to test it out :-d

Quick question: I keep getting this when trying to change permissions for some files (note that it does let me change some files permissions on the list, but not others):

Any ideas?

try chmod it ?

Thats usually pretty indicative of a ownership problem. You may want to delete those files from your server and reupload them through ftp; you should then be able to perform a CHMOD on them.

thanks! that worked!
