Compress Forum Templates

Compress Forum Templates
Speed up your Forums & Save Bandwidth

Description:

This hack compresses your sites Templates into the database resulting in a significantly smaller page size and faster loading pages.
The benefits of this Template Compressor as opposed to virtually any other that you have installed is that this compresses the templates into the database.

Other hacks compress the pages on every page load which takes CPU/Memory usage as well as slows down the actual output of the page.

PS. Use this in conjunction with my Other Hack (Accelerated Plugins) for speeding up your forum even more (If you use plugins especially).

Background:

This is a semi-port from my Vbulletin 3 Version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=79923


Instructions:

1. Download Zip File, Extract files..
2. Read install.txt and follow it
3. Note: Anytime you update your templates, make sure to click "Compress Templates".
4. If you have any problems with certain hacks not working, add affected templates to "Template Ignore" setting in the Admin Control Panel settings.


Common Templates That May Need To Be Added to Ignore Settings:

phpinclude_start phpinclude_end editor_jsoptions_font editor_jsoptions_size forumhome navbar forumhome_vbshout forumhome_vbshout_shout


Updates:

Version 4.2: Forgot to upload ZIP File..
Version 4.1:
Changed setting location, you now modify them in the Admin Control Panel under Template Compressor Settings; there you can specify the templates to ignore.
Flashchat, others sometimes cause problems; so by default a few vbchat templates are listed in the ignore setting.
If you have problems with any other hacks not showing, trying add the 'forumhome' template to the ignore setting and recompress your templates.

Version 4: Integrating Hellcats regex, hopefully will solve some problems.

how much faster is this making your sites run? And how much bandwidth is everyone saving? (If you answer this, let me know how much bandwidth you use a month.)

Thanks

This hack completely ruins https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=101368 and i even put up all the photoplog templates to be ignored and it's still not working.

simply add

navbar to ignore list.. if its anything else its your install problem, as it wasnt working for me at all, but then i added navbar, now works perfect.

make sure you have it set out right aswell..

Indeed.. it was already added to the first post anyway showing the most common templates that cause problems.

weird, photoplog works fine with this installed........i had no need to add that to the ignore list?

(version 2.0.0 btw)
