How hard is this to adapt to xcache. Running only 2 servers and no reason to run memcache yet.

[MoMan]

I found the xcache API here: http://xcache.lighttpd.net/wiki/XcacheApi

So you'd basically want to change the memcache set and get calls to xcache_set and xcache_get

I'd love to see a method working with xCache. I'm not able to at the moment but will try when I can, so if someone figures out this method, please post it for others to make use of~

Great idea btw MoMan.

Would it be possible to see the code you used for the showgroups page?

[MoMan]

I'm not going to post the whole thing as it's site specific and would likely break things on others' sites, but the general steps I followed are (note that there are other approaches as well, such as caching the entire query, but I figured it would be best performance-wise to just cache everything):

1. Strip out the navbar/header/footer from the SHOWGROUPS template
2. In showgroups.php, cache the evaled output of SHOWGROUPS in a variable called $HTML using the code model at the top of this thread
3. At the end of the file, print the output using GENERIC_SHELL. This will prevent caching of the navbar/header/footer, so that they are always current.

Note that if you use multiple styles that don't share the same graphics, you either have to set $cache['datafile'] = 'something' . $styleid, or use a global replace for image folder paths.

You should make of the Datastore system: http://members.vbulletin.com/api/vBu...Datastore.html

[MoMan]

I've found that going through the datastore is much slower than this on-the-fly approach (which is still fine from a design standpoint as long as you use $vbulletin->config for the server info and an option setting for the caching time), since memcached isn't good at dealing with large amounts of data.

thanks 4 this article

A small update: if your server has PHP stability issues, I recommend you wrap a class_exists('Memcache') conditional around the memcached calls.

extra ordinary
will give this a try
I got many mods that slows my forum down

[Disasterpiece]

You are aware that there is an extra setting area for this in the config.php where you can switch the default datastore handler to memcached?

It's completely disastrous and unnecessary to re-code all hacks if this can be done with uncommenting a codeblock.

I highly recommend to update the first post.
