About Developer · **Released**: 06-16-2005

This is a port of Logican's Realtime Template Compressor hack from vBulletin 2.2.x to vBulletin 3.5.0 Beta 1. I wrote this by rewriting a version of the original hack, that I wrote for my forums when they ran 3.0.x, so that it would function as a plugin for 3.5.0.

I had originally sent this to Logican for him to release it but he replied granting me permission to release it; hence why I'm releasing this.

Installation is very simple. Just import the plugin via vBulletin's "Download / Upload Plugins" page in the Plugin System in the Admin Control Panel and you're done.

I'll try to correct any bugs that you might find. Let me know if you like this plugin and don't forget to click the install link if you install this.

Update History

Version 1.1.0: The expression was replaced with a more efficient one that increases the compression level from approximately 1-2% to approximately 4-8%.
Version 1.0.0: Initial Release

[Output: 38.53 Kb. compressed to 31.02 Kb. by saving 7.51 Kb. (19.50%)] is what I am getting from the code he posted later in the thread

i find strange that this technique was released earlyer for 3.0, and now reproduced it, but in no way Jelsoft thought of adding any of the template compression techniques released here yet...

am i wrong, or all the tests made by Jelsoft are proving that these systems are useless ?! they tend to release modifications that work perfectly, so i suppose that all these things are not... i hope to find something better than the actual but for now, none here have it... (ok, i have something myself, but i'm not releasing any work)

Very nice hack idea - So far no odd looking tables or anything, and I'm getting about 5% compression

Installed using ja3's code and showing arounf 18-19% compression

I get a lot better compression with ja3's code as well.

Martin, would you give me specific instructions on how to reproduce that because I can't seem to reproduce it on my own?

Martin · #40 06-19-2005, 05:55 AM

It might be interfence with another another plugin. I didn't test everything.

I just uploaded through the plugin manager. I edited the xml file to add the other compression code and uploaded it seperately.

Martin · #41 06-19-2005, 06:05 AM

I just reuploaded and tested again and it does the same thing.

Just in case you were wondering, PHP 4.3.11 MySQL 4.0.21

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
