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.

well, this is great hack! It speeds up boards alot. However, I am not sure why, but this makes vbTrends disappear. I have added vbTrends' templates to ignore list, but it disappears anyway.
Once again - thanks for this great hack!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
