Speed up Mambo Site - Extremely useful Tip

afru · 10.05.2004, 19:09

Hi all,

I have found this somewhere and thought it will be useful to all mambers.
Open up index.php file in your template directory and change the following lines as explained.

<?php

include ("editor/editor.php");

initEditor();

?>

Change the above to look like:

<?php

if ($my->id) {

include ("editor/editor.php");

initEditor();

}

?>

Whats happening : Each and every time an user visits your mambo site, your template is loaded and with that, the default editor is also loaded even if the user is not logged in. We are just changing it to load the editor only when the user is logged in.

And for your reference, htmlarea2 javascript file itself is more than 45kb. ie, we are reducing our sites page size by more than 45kb and hence reducing the downloading speed of the page.

Hope this will help out lots of mambers around....

Yours Afru

A further refinement of this idea is to only load the editor if the logged in user goes to edit or submit a news news item, as posted by scatcat_sw here:

Hello stingrey,

Great to hear the refinement. But the link you have provided is not working, If you know the code can you pls post it so that we all mambers can make use of it...

Thanking you,
Afru.

This is the code Stingrey was referring to....

PHP Code:

  <?php 

if($my->id){  

    if($_REQUEST["task"] == "edit" || $_REQUEST["task"] == "new") { 

        include ("editor/editor.php"); 

        initEditor(); 

    } 

} 

?>

Cheers,

Nathan

Is there a place to get more tips specifically just like this for editing templates? I know some tips get sprinkled throughout this and other forums, but has a category been started just for this topic?

Thanks,

Eric

For the record this is not nessecary to do with Joomla, which hides the editor until it is needed.
