Board Optimization - Plugin Based Template Cache

Removed on author's request.

That modification released by mOo is nice, I'm using memcached though, but in the end it's basically the same thing.

Yeah compressing templates always causes problems.

I know, the newly released template cache by lendy just caches the templates in a variable cache. You won't save any eval() calls by doing this, you won't even avoid the unserialize as far as I know (just took at a quick glance at his code).

oh, I never thought about the evals. Yes, you are right. He cannot avoid evals by caching templates in variables.

Regarding the datastore, I installed memcache, but later went back to file because I could not notice any difference. Is there a way to benchmark the datastore?

[orban]

Well you could probably write a script to read the datastore objects 1000 times from memcached and flat files (cached in APC) and from APC var cache and see how fast it is

Hi, more info:

Without your plugin mysql use: 60 mb/sec

With your plugin mysql use: 30 mb/sec

Thanks!!!!!

using that data store(xcache + its datastore cache)...
it straight reduce 2 more query at my forum home..
rcade home..it reduce 5 call...
so i think in other pages it also reduced....

I have a problem since i installed it.... suddenly the forum index shows a strange error

Warning: Unterminated comment starting line 151 in C:\Domains\corollaclub.com\wwwroot\forums\forums.p hp(539) : eval()'d code on line 151

the line 151 in forums.php is this

if ($vbulletin->options['showevents'])

Forums.php is the normal index.php that vb has but i had renamed it and i have index the cmps.

The thing is that the code in the file is fine.... even though i had replaced it with the latest and i still getting the error.

I had also uninstalled the addon with no luck...... I am with IIS6 .. php 4.4.6 with apc and mysql 4.1.16.

Anyone has any clue?

[amcd]

your error is on line 151 of the template which is called from line 539 of forums.php

[bluechris]

But i havent touched something.....

the lines in forumhome template are

148 <!-- icons and login code -->
149 <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" border="0" width="100%">
150 <tr valign="bottom">
151 <td>
152 <table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="0">

and in forums.php the 539 line is

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('forumhome_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;

I even created a new style with no parent (that supposes will have the default templates) and i get the same error.... atm i have puted in php.ini showerrors to off and i dont see it but its a problem. Is there anyway that i can debug more the error? to be more specific i mean?

[amcd]

Line 539 is evaluating a hook, so look in your plugins, not in the template.

See which plugins are being executed on 'forumhome_complete'. One of them probably has a opening /* but no closing */
