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.
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:
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.
But the gallery doesnt work either.. i even put all the templates that the gallery uses into the ignore list.. even add forumhome & forumdisplay just to check it

My guess is the shoutbox vanishes, because the PlugIn of vBShout uses HTML comments in the FORUMHOME template for a search/replace to hook itself in there at runtime.
If those comments get compressed out it doesn't find it's spots to place itself in.
I didn't take a look yet how my RegEx have been integrated in this, but in my realtime compressor all (and only, to keep compression high) comments containing a "[" are ingnored/left.
This was initially to get compatibility with AnyMedia, but can also be used to make other needed HTML comment "immun" to the compression.

This hack does nothing permanent. You can leave the hack installed, just use "Uncompress Templates" to return them back to normal; and figure out which template you need to add to the ignore list.
works perfectly ...
99.9% of the problems that are occurring are on sites with INVALID XHTML/HTML.
I recommend you place a WARNING NOTICE on first post: In order to reap the rewards of the COMPRESS FORUM TEMPLATES addon, YOUR STYLE MUST BE VALID XHTML--AT THE VERY LEAST VALID HTML. CHECKING FOR VALID CODE CAN BE DONE VIA HTTP://VALIDATOR.W3.ORG.
