Plugin Accelerator · **Released**: 02-05-2006

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.

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

Install:

Download the zip file.
Open install.txt and Read Instructions

Upgrade:

Download the zip file.
Uninstall Product "Vbulletin Plugin Accelerator"
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.

After running those I recieved this error on every page I tried loading

Code:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ']' in /home/rplace/public_html/board/includes/functions.php on line 4353

I ended up having to replace the php files with backups since I couldn't reload the page to try uninstalling it.

Thanks, ya this is a really tough hack to perfect due to the regexp involved, ive already spent many hours on it.

I know this may be difficult for you, but it would really help me fix this problem. If you could install the hack again and run it; if the problem happens again save that file and rename to .txt and upload it as an attachment here; and also attach your backup copy of the same file that way I can do a Text Diff on it to see whats actually being changed.

I really want to get problems like these solved as this hack has a lot of potential to make the Vbulletin Plugin System Good; ive done lots of test on my own and other forums and while very rare.. problems like yours has occured; so hopefully I can fix it for you.

I wouldn't know what to look for when you say weird HTML in the source, but no I'm not getting any errors of any sort

Click , it works just fine when placed under navbar just no where else :surprised:

Turn the compression hack off, "Uncompress Templates", so I can actually read the HTML.. lol

Then place it under the forums I believe you said; see what we have then..

Hmm the shoutbox appears.. im not registered though, i imagine it gives you someway to input text.

eNforce · #45 02-10-2006, 07:14 AM

Okay, I uncompressed and put shoutbox at the bottom, now it's showing

So maybe it's the template compressor's fault not the plugin accel :squareeyed:

Well, I'm just confused now

So let me get this straight, it works fine as long as its uncompressed? But when you compress it, it only works at the top?

Ya this is a template compressor problem -_-, lets go back over there.

lol. got your hands full with releasing these 2 at once...

I did the reinstall as requested and recieved the same errors again.. This time I only replaced functions.php with the original and everything is loading so far..

I will zip and PM you a link to those files requested as someone would throw a fit if I posted original vb code here

Really? I dont see why, you have to be licensed to download an attachment anyway I believe.

But either works, thanks.

Update

Critical Bug Fix, dealing with code with double backslashes \\ creating parse errors, it was kicking my butt determining the source of the error, but its now fixed; thats gonna solve a LOT of problems for anyone that had trouble in the past.

If you have installed this hack in the past, download the new Release Immediately, just replace the class_plugin_accelerator.php with the new one.

Thank You Trigunflame

This is the biggest Vb optimization for 3.5.x branch! No problems so far...

Combined with template compressor it's accelerated around 15-30% (on reply's and searches more, on showthread, index less but still visible...)
Now with over 500 concurrent users our board actually stays usable...it means you can download a page in less than a minute :nervous: .

Thank You once again...

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