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

I actually reported this as a 3.5 Beta bug oops heh... I have uninstalled until a fix comes along also.

so it's not safe to install ?

You can use it but multiple paragraph returns are stripped.
The post will still be thre, just the formatting changes.
Most messages you won't notice anything.

I've disabled it because people are unable to format some messages clearly without using multiple paragraph returns. It's not a big deal but the I have had users complain.

I haven't been having any problems with paragraph stripping. Then again, everyone uses the AJAX editing function. I heard problems only occur with advanced editing, etc.

Anyway, no problems so far here (and I've used it for over 2 weeks on a very active board).

On average it saves about 3%. A tiny amount but nevertheless an optimization.

Not worth the complaints I get though. I hope there is eventually an update.

What are people's main compaints about this hack? The problem with paragraph returns?

I use it on a medium sized 3.5.1 board (which is also heavily modded) and I honestly haven't found any bugs or problems with it.

Yes. I know it's minor. One of my boards don't get a lot of traffic but when a few people complain I can't justify it.

aSeEr · #**120** 11-21-2005, 03:27 AM

works fine on 3.5.1 forum .. no bugs or complains

I would only use this if/when there is a new version out for the latest Vbulletin. I used it before and it worked like it should, I would just like to see an updated version before I allow this to be running on my site again.

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