i simply deleted the blank index.html page, and theres no issues so far, n the sites sped up a bit

Wow, that's really weird.

Are you sure you created the folder templates/ and the temporary files are actually created in there?

[amcd]

in the webserver configuration there is a list of files which the webserver recognises as index files. if that list contains index.html before index.php, then giving the url without filename will show index.html as that is the preferred index file.

i dont think your problem has anything to do with this plugin. the only connection may be that while installing this, you inadvertently created an index.html file in the forum root directory.

[orban]

Ohhh, right. That's the explanation.

I didn't realize that he probably created it in the wrong folder...

Thanks!

When I attempt to enable it via vbuleltin options. I attempted to enter in the path to the template folder but no joy.

The forums , templates and files in the templates directory are all set to 777. So I really can't see the problem :S

I've got the same problem ... but I uploaded it to the correct folder, my forums folder. I can't give an url cause it's currently on our test site. When I uploaded the php file also to the AdminCP directory, the problem was solved (and options.php could find it, in the AdminCP directory, but the file should be normally only in the forums folder).

Edit: I could fix it easily by correcting the product file:
Change the include of the two admin plugins (admin_global and admin_options_processing) to:

PHP Code:

include_once('./template_cache.php'); 


instead of

PHP Code:

include_once('template_cache.php'); 


Note: a require_once function would be better instead of a include_once (also just to follow the vBulletin coding standards).

Edit 2: I discovered a new bug, the archive isn't working any more, you need to add a plugin there too.

Have another question on our server GZIP is set to 1, do we require to enable Cache Templates Seperately ?

Thanks for the cool modification.

You were right, I disabled the "Cache Templates Seperately" option and now it works fine with Zoints Thread Tags

If you don't use the "Cache Templates Seperately" option then the performance improvement is tiny. I strongly recommend using "Cache Templates Seperately" and a PHP opcode cache to get the best results.

I guess Zoints dynamically replaces templates at runtime, that's why it doesn't work.

How do I know if I am using a "PHP opcode cache" ?

Thanks.

search for APC / xcache / eaccelerator in your phpinfo page. there should be a separate section for one of these.

also, you will see something similar to
This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies
with XCache v1.0.2, Copyright (c) 2005-2006, by mOo

turck mmcache was also popular some years ago, but its not updated and hardly used any more. ioncube also has a opcode cache i believe.
