Plugin Accelerator

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.

PS. Use this in conjunction with my Other Hack (Compress Forum Templates) for speeding up your forum even more by compressing templates.

Install:

2. Open install.txt and Read Instructions

Upgrade:

3. 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.

Problem: SpamBuster v1.0.0 (Stable): Identify, log and remove spam posts on your forum

Installed the above hack and I was getting this error: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....4&postcount=45

After the author of Spambuster pointed out that its this hack thats causing my problems so I thought I would post here as a heads up.

My fix was: Disable Plugin Accelerator and errors have gone away.

I also have this problem Blank page in ACP so can't disable the mod. Tried to disable it by edit config.php, but the board won't get back. As far as I experienced with this mod, my forum will be back to normal after few hours.

Having the same problem <blank page on all section>with Template Cache mod, it's too bad that I can only use Template Compressor on my board

I installed all three hacks (Plugin Accelerator , Compress Forum Templates Template Cache System) no problems at all..all working fine..combined with APC the forum couldnt be faster now
wanna just say thank you

[viyanali]
