I am posting this because it took me so long to find the answer. It may be elementary to those of you who have been doing this for a while, but not to me.

Anyway, here goes:

Open /forum_root/global.php

Find:

PHP Code:
//misc useful 
At the end of the column of template names add yours, don't forget the comma after the last one that's already there, like so:

PHP Code:
'already_there_template',
'template_you_need_cached'

Good tip, Dennis.

However I'm pretty sure you should only do that for templates that are used on every page of your site. You can conserve memory by adding page specific and action specific templates to the $globaltemplates and $actiontemplates arrays (respectively) at the beginning of the file that uses them instead of adding them to global.php. Profile.php and usercp.php are good files to look at to see examples of this.

Not all templates should be cached globally however.

Isn't that what I just explained, or do you mean something else?

I don't think we're in danger of having too many useful threads here.

Well, I couldn't find them. I found this info in the instructions for a hack.

I will have to check this out. As I said above, I'm new to this. Everybody I asked about it said "Go ask whoever wrote the hack" and the hack was very old and unsupported. So I figured it out. But with your statement in here, I guess all the info is now available in one place! :banana:

I stumbled on this post at vb.com earlier tonight. It's a couple years old but as far as I know it's still relevant. It gives a little more detail about the purpose of the different template arrays.
