Realtime Template Compressor: Reduces page sizes, loads pages faster, saves bandwidth

This is a port of Logican's Realtime Template Compressor hack from vBulletin 2.2.x to vBulletin 3.5.0 Beta 1. I wrote this by rewriting a version of the original hack, that I wrote for my forums when they ran 3.0.x, so that it would function as a plugin for 3.5.0.

I had originally sent this to Logican for him to release it but he replied granting me permission to release it; hence why I'm releasing this.

Installation is very simple. Just import the plugin via vBulletin's "Download / Upload Plugins" page in the Plugin System in the Admin Control Panel and you're done.

I'll try to correct any bugs that you might find. Let me know if you like this plugin and don't forget to click the install link if you install this.

Update History

Version 1.1.0: The expression was replaced with a more efficient one that increases the compression level from approximately 1-2% to approximately 4-8%.
Version 1.0.0: Initial Release

Excellent mod! My dialup users will love you forever!

I'd like to re-install this as well... It's just the space-bug that's killing it for me. Many of my users like to add extra spacing in titles, etc, and this kills them :S

Remove this:

PHP Code:

$pagenew_byte=strlen($output);
$page_kilobyte=number_format(($page_byte/1024),2);
$pagenew_kilobyte=number_format(($pagenew_byte/1024),2);
$pagesaved_byte=$page_byte-$pagenew_byte;
$pagesaved_kilobyte=number_format((($pagesaved_byte)/1024),2);
$pagesaved_perc=number_format(((100*$pagesaved_byte)/$page_byte),2);

$output = str_replace('</body>', '<center><span class="smallfont">[Output: ' . $page_kilobyte . ' Kb. compressed to <b>' . $pagenew_kilobyte . '</b> Kb. by saving <b>' . $pagesaved_kilobyte . '</b> Kb. (' . $pagesaved_perc . '%)]</span></center></body>', $output);

Is this with the standard plugin or have you modded it?
