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.

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.

This system needs WRITE access to the specified files listed in /home/fhlinux188/r/rpcentral.net/user/htdocs/includes/hook_files.php

I come from the land of phpbb, where the subcategories hack for example require you to work your way thru a 450kb .TXT file... this is a joy!

**Real appriciation for vB comes when you used phpbb**

I've installed on 2 site and had errors,, wont try it again

[wideopen]

OK I just installed this..Now I'm having problems??

Where do I do this??

- Click "Rebuild Hook Cache". This will build the cache used for compiling
plugin code into the FileSystem, anytime you add a new hook location in the code
you will want to re-run this to reparse the file and update the cache.

- Click "Rebuild All Plugins". This will take care of compiling all of your enabled
plugins into their appropriate files.

Does this work with 3.5.4?? If not, do you see an update in the near future?

Can someone help me out a little here.

I made a backup of my site (mysql) before I used trigunflames template compross/template cache/plugin accelerator hacks, and they seemed to be running fine. But then I closed my admin panel and went to work.

When I came back and tried logging into my control panel for the first time after installing the mods it just sends me to the home page. It wont even show the login.

So... I made a new database with the backup on it, and switched the site to that databse, and then tryed my admincp thinking it was the mysql in the plugins/products installed. But... it didnt work and did the same thing.

I tryed re-editing the files to their orginal state, and it doesnt seem to be working? I could have missed something, but I ran the installs backwards so there should be nothing left of anyhting, but yet it still doesnt work.

Anyone got a clue, or can tell me what I am doing wrong?

The modcp and the rest of the site still works fine... its just the admin panel.
