Compress Forum Templates (Speed up your Forums & Save Bandwidth)
Developer Last Online: Nov 2019
Compress Forum Templates & Phrases Speed up your Forums & Save Bandwidth Description: Hi, this is a pretty simple hack that involves compressing the 'compiled' version of your templates, this way it only compresses the part thats to be shown on the forum and not the actual template data you edit. Background: Got the idea from Zero Tolerance in buro9's thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=69787 The above hack compresses the page at parse time, while it provides some speed enhancement, on large pages you can actually "negate" the point of using the hack in the first place, because of the overhead in compression. Thus, the creation of this hack is to provide similiar functionality, but done in the adminCP; and without the overhead of constant compression. Info: No Queries. Only query is used when compressing your templates, the rest of the time its just pulling the templates straight out of the database like normal. Updates: Version 2.8 - Added Strip Whitespace from Start of JS Line by buro9 Version 2.7 - Option to strip HTML Comments from Compressed Output Version 2.6 - Removed Phrase Compression altogether, Too Iffy Version 2.5 - Removed the ASCII \n removal, emails should work now. Version 2.4 - Had to add editor_jsoptions_size to the Bad Templates array, it also was causing a font selection error. Version 2.3 - Added Phrase compression support, should help further increase page compression. Version 2.2 - Slightly Recoded Template compression for faster results. Version 2.1 - Added php_include templates to bad templates, will not compress these. Version 2.0 - Recoded Script, added support for certain templates to not compress Version 1.9 - Re-Added support for InLine Styles. Version 1.8 - Removed support for InLine Styles, all Style data is left with Linebreaks. Version 1.7 - Removed support for InLine Javascript, all JavaScript is left with Linebreaks. Version 1.6 - Fixed Tab problem, tabs are replaced with a single space Version 1.5 - Removed a part of the SQL. Version 1.4 - TOTALLY Remade, Works perfect now; Ultimate Compression Version 1.3 - Adjusted Again Version 1.2 - Adjusted Stripping regex Version 1.1 - Added Uncompress Support Version 1.0 - Release Install: Step 1. [ Open admincp/template.php ] Step 2. [ Go to about line: 1278, or just look for $_REQUEST['do'] == 'edit' ] Step 3. [ Above Step 2, add the below code ] PHP Code:
Step 5. [ look for ] PHP Code:
PHP Code:
1. Install 2. In the admincp left navigation, select "Compress Templates". 3. Repeat Step 2 after each modification of your Templates whenever you decide to change something. 4. If you want to uncompress all Templates, select "Uncompress Templates" 5. IF Any Templates Come Out Weird, add the template Name to the Bad Templates Array and Re-Run the Compress Templates.

How about optimizing the "archive"?

Also good work Trigunflame, i'm going to install this now and compare the loading times and see how well this works - Zero Tolerance |

The Trigunflame seemed to work for my problems. I believe it always leaves the first space now (which solves design formatting problems).

Got a problem with the forum home when compressing templates.
See the attached screen grabs. The first is a grab after templates have been compressed. And the second is when they are not compressed. Note that the number of users visiting is missing a space before it. What do I do to fix this, please? |

installed (yes, I clicked the install button) and thanks. My bandwidth has been going through the roof over the past month with a big influx of members, this can't hurt. I'll have to give it a couple days and look at the raw numbers, when I get some results I will post some feedback

Nice hack.
Just wanted to point out that Zero Tolerance was not the first one who had this idea One suggestion: Add an option to let the admin decided if Templates should be automatically compressed when saving them. This way one could edit templates without always having to re-do the compression |
