Avatar Optimization

[aldo]

Link to Mod

What does it do? (The following statistics are from SMF 2.0!)
This modification improves the speed and efficiency of avatar loading on your SMF 2.0 powered forum. By default SMF loads some unnecessary bits and pieces not required to load avatars. So I have created a setup to only load the bare basics which reduces queries by at the least 2 and a maximum of 5.

The great thing is no theme or URL edits are required, the only edit is to the index.php file, so even if your forum is totally decked out, this modification should install with ease

If you are going to use this modification on SMF 2.0, download avataroptimizationv1-for2.zip.

UPDATE: I have ported this modification to work with SMF 1.1.9. From my testings (Sorry, I don't have APC/Memcache/eAccelerator or any of those so I couldn't use caching) it doesn't yield as great of results as SMF 2.0 does, but it uses ~0.03 seconds faster, and without caching 4 queries, though with caching I would suspect it would use 1-2.

If you want to install this modification on SMF 1.1.9, download avataroptimizationv1-for1.zip

We're running in a critical situation, where our ISP says we're using way too much CPU on the shared server (5% instead of our allocated 0.5%) and ANYTHING that can cut the load our 1.1.9 forum pulls is welcome.

And I've been reading that optimisation topic as well...

Grazie!

Good, please tell me if this modification helps with your situation I would love to see if it really does help on sites like yours.

Any one who already used this mod does it really make it faster a little bit?

What if I moved the avatars out of the attachments directory will it still work?

I looked at your forum, the way you serve your avatars won't work with this. But yours is just as good if possibly not better than the way this modification does it.

Hello,

great mod 

But sometimes my error log, showing up:

Code Select Expand

PHP Notice:  Undefined index:  mime_type in /www/forum/Sources/DisplayAvatar.php on line 141

[Sirius OCTeam]

Perhaps this could be ok ?

Code Select Expand

if (isset($file['mime_type']))
{
header('Content-Type: '. $file['mime_type']);
}

Yeah, thanks I will add that soon. I forgot I had a couple mods I need to update for 1.1.10 and SMF 2.0 RC1.2. I will get to that tonight.

hi - do you have 1.1.10 yet?  thanks...

[C4G-TK]

Are you going to change the package, so that it works in RC1.2?  It appears that the same code that is edited appears in the newest version, too. 

[PlutoDelic]

Yeah, thanks I will add that soon. I forgot I had a couple mods I need to update for 1.1.10 and SMF 2.0 RC1.2. I will get to that tonight.

i really appreciate your time to create mod's, but the lack of mod upgrades makes webmasters also postpone upgrading the whole forum, so how 'bout that update for 2.0?

What if I moved the avatars out of the attachments directory will it still work?

Any news about it?

[darkNiGHTS]

Is this still necessary in SMF2 RC2?

[diamanda]

hi - do you have 1.1.11 yet?  thanks...
