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.

Install:

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

Upgrade:

1. Download the zip file.
2. Uninstall Product "Vbulletin Plugin Accelerator"
3. 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.

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...

Hopefully that fix last night weeded out any further problems we might have.

not sure its working as surely as you are mate, i installed it as per instructions, changed all perms on every file listed in the hooks file.....and enabled it.

first i was presented with a parse error, with Tstrings and whitespace errors all over the place, then when i disabled, and re enabled, the board came on, but the forumhome looked like it had been ravaged by feature eating animals....ie.....nothing was wrrking as it should....lol

Which plugins do you have installed; the files that reported the parse errors can you keep 2 copies, 1 after its been modified (and has the problems, just rename it and place it elsewhere and the original file along with it. You could zip both of these up and upload them somewhere; just PM me with the info.

After I exam the files that are corrupted I will make the appropriate fixes to the hack.

Thanks for the report.

Ps. Did the problem occur after enabling, build all hooks, or build all plugins

[Gizmo5h1t3]

i have absolutely LOADS of stuff installed...probably too much to be honest....

the fiel that reported the parse error, strangely was global .php in the root....which to my knowledge isnt altered with your hack....

also, it gave the error on line 1135, which is weird, as my global.php in the root only has 700 odd lines....lol

the problem occurs after enabling the hack, when ive clicked on "build all hooks"....

the board still shows, but with everything missing on forumhome from all my installed hacks..the tables are all still there, but no content....

then, when i click "build all plugins".....i get the weird parse error in the root/global.php.

weird

ive uninstalled it for now

build_hooks.php lists all files to be modified and global.php is one of them. Please create a zip file containing the modified global.php after you "rebuild all plugins" as well as your backed up version of global.php and send me a link to it via private message.

Thanks.

Worked well, other than it stopped Dean C's URL re-write mod from working when active, so i've had to disable it for now. Also had to disable the template compressor for the same reason (both affect the url re-write independantly of each other).

[derekivey]

Looks interesting, Thanks!

/me clicks install.

Again as I said to the other person, plz make copies of the affected files along with their backed up version, zip, and upload for me to review.

Thankyou.
