Offline Template Compressor · **Released**: 07-12-2004

This hack is similar to Logicians Realtime Template Compressor
(https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=56589), but uses
a slightly different approach:

Instead of doing the compression realtime when the pages are
generated, it compresses the templates right in the database when they
are being saved, so there will be zero overhead during normal operation.
The templates will still look normal when you edit them, just the
parsed versions will be compressed.

Currently this hack does not touch JavaScript, so there should be
no issues with that.
(JavaScript could also be compressed, but then there must be no
comments in it)

Results may vary, but this could reduce traffic approx. 5-10%,
even if you use GZip (recommended).

Can you post your phpinclude_start template?

tcs · #13 08-01-2004, 09:48 PM

Sure can,

PHP Code:


			
// Example of how to include a separate file:

// ob_start();

// require("yourheader.html");

// $header = ob_get_contents();

// ob_end_clean();



    $hour = vbdate("G");

    $greeting = "$vbphrase[goodevening] $bbuserinfo[username].";

    if( $hour < 18 ) { $greeting = "$vbphrase[goodafternoon] $bbuserinfo[username]."; }

    if( $hour < 12 ) { $greeting = "$vbphrase[goodmorning] $bbuserinfo[username]."; }



ob_start(); 

require("./forums/banner.php"); 

$banners = ob_get_contents(); 

ob_end_clean();



include("./statistik_counter.php");

It works when I decompress but not while compressed.

I made a phpinclude.php file and then did and include('phpinclude.php') to my index.php but still not luck.

When I View Source of the main page the area where the banners come up is missing the code from the $banner it looks like this:

Code:

<td align="left" width="468" height="60"></td>

I should add that the greeting hack quits working while the templates are in compression.

Andreas · #14 08-01-2004, 10:10 PM

Hmm, I don't know why vBulletin does call compile_template() on phpinclude_start as there should be nothing to do in this template ...

Anyway, try to remove

PHP Code:


			
// Example of how to include a separate file:

// ob_start();

// require("yourheader.html");

// $header = ob_get_contents();

// ob_end_clean();

I couldn't test the banner & statistics stuff as I don't have the files, but the greeting seems to work then.

tcs · #15 08-01-2004, 11:09 PM

That did it, very odd but dosent' matter as long as it work,, right. lol

Andreas · #16 08-01-2004, 11:12 PM

It's not thaaat odd:

As vBulletin calls compile_template() your phpinclude_start template will be compress, so afterwards it will look similar to this:

PHP Code:


			
// Example of how to include a separate file: // ob_start(); // require("yourheader.html"); // $header = ob_get_contents(); // ob_end_clean(); $hour = vbdate("G"); $greeting = "$vbphrase[goodevening] $bbuserinfo[username]."; if( $hour < 18 ) { $greeting = "$vbphrase[goodafternoon] $bbuserinfo[username]."; } if( $hour < 12 ) { $greeting = "$vbphrase[goodmorning] $bbuserinfo[username]."; } ob_start(); require("./forums/banner.php"); $banners = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); include("./statistik_counter.php");

eg. one line - which is commented out (and thus will not be executed)

Nice

Very nice. I feel an Performance +

HELP!

I upped the master-style again.
And if i reply now on a Thread it looks like here. This failure only comes with every Browser.
Everything else went fine. It comes only if your logged in, isnt that strange?

Thank you in advance!!

And if i want to start a new Thread it comes up, too.
It's really mystical that not all Usergroups are affected by this ( Every Group but not the Guests) Curios.
