Compress Forum Templates

Compress Forum Templates
Speed up your Forums & Save Bandwidth

Description:

This hack compresses your sites Templates into the database resulting in a significantly smaller page size and faster loading pages.
The benefits of this Template Compressor as opposed to virtually any other that you have installed is that this compresses the templates into the database.

Other hacks compress the pages on every page load which takes CPU/Memory usage as well as slows down the actual output of the page.

PS. Use this in conjunction with my Other Hack (Accelerated Plugins) for speeding up your forum even more (If you use plugins especially).

PS. Use this in conjunction with my Other Hack (Template Cache System) for speeding up your forum by caching its templates.

Background:

This is a semi-port from my Vbulletin 3 Version: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=79923


Instructions:

1. Download Zip File, Extract files..
2. Read install.txt and follow it
3. Note: Anytime you update your templates, make sure to click "Compress Templates".
4. If you have any problems with certain hacks not working, add affected templates to "Template Ignore" setting in the Admin Control Panel settings.


Common Templates That May Need To Be Added to Ignore Settings:

phpinclude_start phpinclude_end editor_jsoptions_font editor_jsoptions_size forumhome navbar forumhome_vbshout forumhome_vbshout_shout


Updates:

Version 4.2: Forgot to upload ZIP File..
Version 4.1:
Changed setting location, you now modify them in the Admin Control Panel under Template Compressor Settings; there you can specify the templates to ignore.
Flashchat, others sometimes cause problems; so by default a few vbchat templates are listed in the ignore setting.
If you have problems with any other hacks not showing, trying add the 'forumhome' template to the ignore setting and recompress your templates.

Version 4: Integrating Hellcats regex, hopefully will solve some problems.

Any Ideas?

So I got tons of javascript all over my boards, if I install this you are sure that there won't be any errors?

I am having a problem with a few templates. Some templates are used as text for emails sent by the board and the board sends them in plain text. When they are compressed, all of the white space used to separate parts of the emails is removed so the email comes in as a jumbled mess. It would be helpful to be able to flag certain templates as not to be compressed to avoid that.

OK guys, Im back sorry had to sleep. I messaged hellcat and he agreed to be co-author of this hack by donating some of him regexp to the project.

I will implement his code and then re-release the hack; that should hopefully fix all of you guys problems.

Including the shoutbox?

Just redone the file edit and re-imported the product and the problem is still the same as before.

Try to uncompress all templates, then recompress; if it still doesnt work.

Look inside the shoutboxes product file and make not of every use of every custom template that it installs, and add it to the bad templates array; then recompress again.. and if that still causes problems..

I will install that hack myself and try to figure out; cause im confused as to what could be causing the errors..

[eNforce]

Ahh, tried that just now and can't seem to fix it. I'll just keep shoutbox at the top and wait for you to figure it out

I'm not disabling this hack because of the shoutbox, it's an excellent addition.
