Compatibility
For SMF 1.1.x

Introduction
Adds a custom cache system for SMF 1.1.x useful if you do not have APC,memcache on your server and still want to use caching


If your theme has its own versions of the language files Modifications.english.php and/or Modifications.english-utf8.php, OR if your using a language other than those supported (listed above) by the mod then you will need to copy the language strings into each custom version of those files.

Changelog

o Initial Release

Arantor

Interesting backport.

I'm not entirely sure I'd rely on function_exists('fwrite'), I'd suggest using is_callable personally.

every day I am a step closer to switching my forums to 2.0, and then - kaboom - you do this :)
good to know there's still some effort being put towards the 1.x! thanks lads

Arantor using the same code as in SMF 2.0 just moved it to SMF 1.1.x

I would really love to just work on SMF 1.1.x and updating it if they would let me.

vbgamer: Oh, I know. I just don't entirely agree with it. fwrite is present since PHP 4, and function_exists() in that context should simply be to deal with whether the function has been disabled by the host or not.

Except that IIRC, function_exists would still return true in that case...

vbgamer45

bah that sucks if it is disabled it should not exist oh well.

Except that no, in PHP, if it's disabled it should still exist.

vbgamer45

That's dumb for php to do that what does it return on disabled? Or do on disabled

function_exists() returns true while is_callable() should return false - at least that's what I've encountered in the past.

Trying to call the function results in an error.

Though I have yet to find a host dumb enough to disable that function.

vbgamer45

Yeah I have seen fsockopen disabled with hosts is_callable looks good never used that before.

It is, however, slower than function_exists().

And then you just choose level 1 (or level 2, etc)?

vbgamer45

I recommend level 2.

I recommend level 2.

I'll try level 2 then. Btw, what is the difference between a level 1 and 2? Is there a correlation between cache levels and server resources?

vbgamer45

Yeah Level 2 caches more stuff then level 1. I wouldn't do level 3 cause that would lead to stale information

Hello,

Are there any guidelines as to when to use this?  Would it reduce CPU usage?  We've got 250K posts, 5400 topics, 860 users, a large search index, and we've had to limit Guest views (via MODs) to keep from going over our CPU allocation.

If there's a topic or post that covers this, could you please provide URL?

Grazie,

Cal
