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 ]

Step 5. [ look for ]

PHP Code:


			
construct_nav_option($vbphrase['find_updated_templates'], 'template.php?do=findupdates', '<br />');

Step 6. [ below this, add the code ]

PHP Code:


			
construct_nav_option("Compress Templates", 'template.php?do=compressall', '<br />');

construct_nav_option("Uncompress Templates", 'template.php?do=compressall&revert=1', '<br />');

How-To Run

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.

w00t .............. forum goes like a rocket :lick: :lick: :lick: :lick: :lick: :lick:

Big HUGGGG :banana:

//edit:
one small Q:

Quote:

The bad templates array exist for a reason, add the offending templates to the array and it will skip them.

I've done the compression & everything seems to work like a a charm.

Compress Templates and Uncompress Templates seems for me the only 2 options in the ACP ..
Is there only a bad templates array when there is a bad template?
Or where can i find this array?

I forgot to post my opinion on this hack : Very good job !

I had little problems with some custom templates I did, but it was tuned in less an hour.

Thanks again !

So, you can give me an answer to my question? :ninja:

Marco van Herwaarden · #**155** 06-02-2005, 08:12 AM

In admincp/template.php:

PHP Code:


			
    // List of Templates to NOT Compress 

    $badTemplates = array( 

        'editor_jsoptions_font', 

        'editor_jsoptions_size', 

        'phpinclude_start', 

        'phpinclude_end' 

    );

What a freakin awesome hack...I'm running 2 to 3 times faster!!! Installed without any ill effects as far as I can tell ( at least none that I can't live with)! Thanks dude!

LuBi · #**157** 06-09-2005, 02:45 AM

worked fine for me on a very modded and styled board.. no issues I can see at all..? nice release. thanks.

kthlnwrnr · #**158** 07-14-2005, 07:00 AM

Does this hack work with VB 3.3?
I tried insalling it but I guess I am doing something wrong. I get an internal server error everytime I click on the compress link.

There is a chance that I am doing one thing wrong. In step to the instruction says I should

Quote:

[ Go to about line: 1278, or just look for $_REQUEST['do'] == 'edit' ]

Now should I paste the codes right above

Quote:

$_REQUEST['do'] == 'edit')

or right above

Quote:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'edit')

Or right above

Quote:

(This is line 1278 in my template.php)//################################################## ###########################
// edit form for an existing template
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'edit')

?

I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but I am a bit confused and would like to get this hack to work.

loftyasianz · #**160** 08-12-2005, 07:12 PM

thanks for this awesome hack. it really seems like a good idea.

i just finished installing this and i compressed my templates. but when i refreshed my page, i got this

Code:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ',' in /home/gm0nk3y/public_html/forums/index.php(672) : eval()'d code on line 1

any suggestions? it was all fixed when i uncompressed the templates.

thanks in advance,
warren
