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).

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.

Before I go hosing up stuff....I trust this mod hack is compatable with 3.5.4?

I'm trying everything I can to cut CPU time down as my host is griping about it since my board is taking 200K hits a day.... trying to avoid the expense of a dedicated server for as long as possible. So any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well.

Edit:
Did a hard refresh,now it looks like its working, but even thou the vbshout templates are in the ignore list, its made it go away from the home page?Am i doing something wrong?
Edit again:
If i tell it to be below the navbar it works, other wise it doesnt.

Installed hack (RC3) this morning and it seems to work just fine. My question is, on the instructions it says

- Click "Rebuild Hook Cache". This will build the cache used for compiling plugin code into the FileSystem, anytime you add a new hook location in the code you will want to re-run this to reparse the file and update the cache.

- Click "Rebuild All Plugins". This will take care of compiling all of your enabled
plugins into their appropriate files.

I don't have any place to click to rebuild hook cache nor to rebuild all plugins unless it is some place I haven't looked.

Can anyone let me know if I should keep looking or uninstall or what?

Thanks,
Henry

thats only if you have plugin accelerator installed

[DementedMindz]

you should have a tab on the left in admincp Plugin Accelerator but for this hack it would only show Template Compressor... i think you ment to post this in the Accelerated Plugins thread

[Christopher 47]

...and place the (cpnav_tpl_compress.xml)
What does it mean, bro?
