About Developer · **Released**: 06-16-2005

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

Anyway, it is attached now. It uses the same perl expression Logician's original hack uses and much of the code is the same. I simply made it work with vBulletin 3.5.0 Beta 1. I'm thinking of writing a new expression for more aggressive compression but my experience with expressions is limited so that'll have to wait until I have some freetime on my hands.

Thanks. I didn't think you did it on purpose.

I didn't think you did.

Guys, I'm still playing with this but if you open the xml file, find:

Quote:

/(>)(s*)(\r\n)*(s*)(<)/

Replace it with:

Quote:

/(>)(\s*)(\r\n)*(\s*)(<)/

And then upload that file instead, the compression soars from 1-2% to 8-10%. I'm still playing with the expression through so you might want to wait until I finish playing with it and release version 1.1.0.

That messed up my tables.

Did you edit the XML file and then upload it or did you edit the plugin from the Plugin Manager? There is a problem in vBulletin 3.5.0 Beta 1 when it comes to storing expressions. They seem to get parsed somewhere along the line; hence why I said to edit the xml file.

womensden · #19 06-17-2005, 05:45 PM

oh, ok. I'll try that.

womensden · #20 06-17-2005, 05:47 PM

That worked! Thanks

[Output: 36.08 Kb. compressed to 35.71 Kb. by saving 0.37 Kb. (1.03%)]

That is all I am getting. But if I edit the file, the forums get hosed.

Now I am getting:

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