vBulletin LTS

Plugin Accelerator
Mod Version: 1.2.1, by Trigunflame

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.

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.
