What it does:

1. hook "cache_templates",get $globaltemplates from cache,if not(Exclude Templates),get template from cache_templates();the cache use one of APC,eAccelerator,Turck MMCache,Xcache.Reduce MYSQL query and DISK IO.

2. There is an option to have certain templates saved seperatly to memory.

3. Automatically clears the cache when modifying or inserting templates, done using the hook admin_global and a check of $_GET, and also clearing when modifying the options.


The cache memory only get created when they are needed the first time. The memory can get one megabytes in size, mine is 0.5mb (default installation, no plugins/hacks). If you have new templates/styles and several plugins it can get 1-2mb no problem.if you use compress template,it will smaller.

Worked really fine here, thanks for this mod my man! That was exactly what I was looking for...

[BamaStangGuy]

Is there anyway you could add Memcached Support to this?

[BamaStangGuy]

Figured out the query issue.

New problem is that when I update a template the change isn't updated in xcache and continues to show the old template to visitors instead of the updated one.

Ist there a solution that this works with Andrea's TMS? (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=152931)

Or is it possible to tell the System to Cache on or more Templates new?

Some problem.The plug-in does not update XCache and continues to show the old template.

Just go to the XCache Admin-Panel and delete the Cached Templates so that XCache must reCache the Templates.

I have wierd effect. Once I enabed the product, my supermoderators lost some rights in some forums. Not all rights and not in all forums. In some forums theykeep all rights, in another forums theu only kept right to delete thread, and lost right to move, copy, rename, edit etc...

2
Another problem that I noticed, is that "compress teamplte" damaged forum appearance.
Desk was turned to Desk
Its removed the space between the icon and forum name

Once I disabled the product - everything returned back to normal....

Please advise.

VB 3.6.7
XCache 1.2.1

Helo GoHa..
As my past experience- Compress template barely bring good result- SO we never used any compressor-

- Disable Compressor
- FORUMHOME - add to ignore list
(U can add add some template and .js files to IGNORE list to get rid of some problem...)
