Compress Forum Templates · **Released**: 02-09-2006

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).

PS. Use this in conjunction with my Other Hack (Template Cache System) for speeding up your forum by caching its templates.

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.

Did you add the list of templates I have in the first post, under "Common Templates That May Need To Be Added to Ignore Settings:" to your ignore setting?

Its in your vbulletin options in your Control Panel. Look for the category, find the setting and add them to it.

I really really need help trying to figure out how to get this problem resolved. All of the hack's show they are still installed on my site, but yet, none of them will appear now......

I have removed the hack's here, in reverse order and still no luck getting my forum's to work correctly......

www.insanemustangs.com username: test Password: tester feel free to have a look and see.......we really miss the shoutbox feature.

Please reinstall the template compressor. And click "Uncompress Templates". That should restore your templates to normal form.

i have done this and still didn't revert back, and no i can no longer read my pm's.....

hotwheels · #**120** 03-13-2006, 11:10 PM

k, i just did a total revert of my software...........I think i am about 85%

Please, if you use this program, back up all of your software........

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showt...hlight=hellcat where it shows on the footer how much is compressed? i kinda liked that so i could tell but in the end its your call just thought it would be nice to see
