This will make your smileys parse faster and your pages load faster. It removes some functionality. For instance a-z 0-9, _, a comma, +, =, %, $, ~ can now come before a smiley a:) will become a smiley now.

You are a busy guy lately I assume?

Anyway, again a useful mod of you, txs!

I did not fully understand your explanation can you please elaborate more... And do you have any testing results that it can really make your page load faster?

Joshua Dickerson · October 20, 2009, 11:37:23 AM

Simply put, it changes a long complicated regular expression to strtr() which is significantly faster. It also removes some extra calls needed to do that regex - another thing that makes it faster. It isn't going to make it a lot faster, but it does reduce a lot of parsing which should save on resources.

thanks groundup

Hmm this looks interesting for sure and useful

Any testing? Any problems with other mods?

Joshua Dickerson · October 23, 2009, 01:22:37 AM

I tested it with a vanilla installation. It probably doesn't affect other mods since I doubt there are many that mess with parsesmileys()

I just installed and Im very impressed at how much faster they load now

I'm noticing a small problem. With this mod installed, there is some kind of conflict with SimplePortal from what I can tell. The portal page hangs and hangs and won't load, but all other pages load fine. This is regardless of whether I am signed into the forum or not.

Do you know why this would be happening? I had to uninstall manually in order to sign back into the forum otherwise, people would not be able to get to my site.

Thats weird. I have SP and 2.0.12 with no problem

C4G-TK · October 23, 2009, 12:41:16 PM

I'll add it in again later at another time to see if it was just a fluke. I installed and uninstalled twice and got the same results.

For some reason, the script execution time exceeds 30 seconds after using certain smileys.. can't figure out which, though.

What SMF version are you using?

I'm using SMF2 RC2.1. Sorry I forgot to specify that >_<..

Hi there !

Will that mod work with RC3?

Joshua Dickerson · April 05, 2010, 04:25:14 PM

Haven't tested it on it but I think it will work. I don't recall any changes with parsesmileys() in the last couple of releases. So, install it. If it gives you errors, I'll try to give you solutions.

Joker™ · July 09, 2010, 07:09:58 AM

working perfectly fine with RC3

T3CHN0 · November 15, 2011, 09:34:52 PM

can anyone tell me, is this mod still usable with 2.0.1 or does 2.0.1 have this included in it now?

Joshua Dickerson · November 15, 2011, 11:33:21 PM

Pretty sure it isn't in 2.0.1 but it probably works on it.

T3CHN0 · November 16, 2011, 01:02:26 AM

thanks for that. just installed it on 2.0.1 to easy...
cheers
