caching the forums

was thinking would it be possible cache the forums on the index? then join the data to the correspondent array's from the cached file with all the forum data in? would save some queries and increase page speed what you think ?

I was thinking of doing it, but Iuno how to left join the multi demi array with the sql data from the forums table, if it was cached

Re: caching the forums

Good thinking.

I don't remember where, but I know that we already have this planned for 2.0. Great, huh?

lol well, the more I code and work with fluxbb the more ideas I get, but this something that is probably I could do, but i'd rather leave it to professionals like you guys ^_^ or it would take me years, i hate multi demi arrays and foreaches @_@

But  I hope you guys don't ruin 2.0 and make it bulky like how invision power board ruined ipb 1.3, with 2.0+.... Please make sure 2.0 is even more lightweight then 1.4, trust me speed > features

keep it up good work !

I mean look at ipb 3.2... pure bloated software, my GAS-ex pills wont even help me load those pages haha

Re: caching the forums

I had been hoping we can cache much more in 2.0, but it is going to be a low priority for now. There is a ticket for it aimed at 2.0-beta1.

Re: caching the forums

sounds good

to bad i edited way to much in 1.4, would be pointless for me to go to 2.0 i'll most likely just use new code and implement it

im still supporting you guys though

Re: caching the forums

The advantage of doing this in 2.0 is we have a much more advanced cache layer. In 1.x caching is done using files - which, unless you have some kind of PHP accelerator installed (which you should!), means accessing the disk to load cache. With 2.0 you can choose from pretty much any PHP cache engine (including files like in 1.x). Most keep cache in memory and hence it is much faster to access.
