Vbulletin Plugin Accelerator Accelerate Your Forums Plugins
Summary:
If you use the Vbulletin Plugin System (Specially if you use a lot of plugins), this will help improve the performance of the system overall by inlining all of the plugin code into the PHP files themself.
Essentially making it as if you had hacked the files yourself, this will give you better performance on your forum overall.
Open install.txt and Read Instructions to install like usual.
Current Status: (RC2)
Release Candidate 2 Has Been Released.
This code has been deemed acceptable and to be used by all.
Please report any bugs back to this thread.
Thanks.
Latest Changes: 02/11/2006
Fixed another problem with backslashes, hopefully this will fix some other problems.
To upgrade, just replace the includes/class_plugin_accelerator.php with the new one.
Important Notes:
1. While this IS a release candidate, more than likely its not fully bug free so Please backup your files before you install this modification, this system is not yet perfect.
2. When running "Rebuild Hook Cache" and "Rebuild All Plugins" if you ever see a small parse error, or file couldnt be opened error; re-run both again and it should go away.
3. includes/hook_files.php contains locations of all the files the accelerator scans for plugin hooks, if you have any files that have been renamed, moved, etc.. you need to add it to that file on its own line, thanks.
If You Have Problems:
If you incur any parse errors, or pages not displaying after running the steps. Please make a copy of the affect file as well as its original version, zip them and upload somewhere. Send me a link to the file for me to download, review and provide a fix.

If you uninstall Plugin Accelerator; you must first revert the modification it does to the files using the admincp.
Otherwise you need to reupload your vbulletin php files and ovewrite the ones on your server.
Also please make sure you are not confusing this hack with template compressor.
what do u mean revert the modifications it does to the files using admincp? using admincp how?
ive tried disabling it before the uninstall but it just doesnt work...
this thing wont let me uninstall it without messing everything up.
arning: main(your file path.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /global.php on line 678
Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'your file path.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mysite/thedirectory/forums/global.php on line 678
Installed and... wow!
I could tell immediately that my site has improved in performance. I have over 100 plugins installed and this hack makes it feel like im running near default!
PS. always backup your entire dB and all the files to be edited before installing!!! this way you can roll back without any worries.
Thanks for a great hack!
The performance enhancement was great! but I have many larger hacks that I suspect I would need to re-install to get working and some of them would loose there setting in an overwrite
When I upgrade my forum, I will install this hack first and foremost. I think it's a great addition to forum optimization especially when we run many plugins.
