why precache templates, i'm not finding it in the code....

[Dionysis]

In all the pages there are arrays like $phrasegroups, $specialtemplates, $actiontemplates etc.

what is the purpose of these? I can't find where they are called anywhere else in the code.

the templates are just pulled from

PHP Code:

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('TEMPLATE') . '");'); 


anyway

If you don't precache a template a query is issued to get the template, and or every template on the page.

[Dionysis]

right, that is what i'm looking for in the code. But doing a bunch of crtl+F for "$actiontemplates" and associated arrays brings up nothing so i can't find where it's being used.

I think you're looking for $globaltemplates - actiontemplates are from datastore.

No
$actiontemplates is an array defining Templates needed for special actions.
So these will only be loaded when the Scripts executes the assigned action - global.php merges this array with $globaltemplates for the action currently beign called.

What you mean is $specialtemplates.

So these will only be loaded when the Scripts executes the assigned action

yea, WHERE? where in the code ^_^. I want to look it over myself :squareeyed:

global.php, but where exactly depends on the Version.
For vBulletin 3.0.7 its around line 293.

For vBulletin 3.5 Beta 3 its around line 262.
