Using "cache_put_data" on SSI functions

[shuban]

Is it possible to use this caching function on SSI functions?

For example, here is my SSI function being called somewhere on the website:

Code: [Select]

$what = ssi_recentTopics('10', $exclude_boards = array(29, 44, 17, 38, 53, 61), 'array');

echo '
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="100%" border="0">
<tr style="text-transform: uppercase;" class="catbg2">
<td class="smalltext" style="text-align: left; padding-top: 3px; padding-bottom: 3px;" colspan="2">Subject</td>
<td class="smalltext" style="text-align: center;">Replies</td>
<td class="smalltext" style="text-align: center;">Views</td>

<td class="smalltext" style="text-align: center;">Author</td>
<td class="smalltext" style="text-align: center;">Date</td>
</tr>';

$cnt = 1; foreach ($what as $topic) {
$cnt++;
    if ($cnt >= 2) $cnt = 0;

{
echo '
<tr>
<td width="8%" class="windowbg', $cnt == 0 ? '' : '2', '"><center>', $topic['icon'], '</center></td>
<td width="54%" class="windowbg', $cnt == 0 ? '' : '2', '" title="', $topic['preview'] ,'"><div style="overflow: hidden; height: 17px;">', $topic['link'], '</div>

<div class="smalltext"><b>', $topic['board']['link'], '</b></div>

</td>
<td width="8%" class="windowbg', $cnt == 0 ? '' : '2', '"><center>', $topic['replies'], '</center></td>
<td width="8%" class="windowbg', $cnt == 0 ? '' : '2', '"><center>', $topic['views'], '</center></td>

<td width="10%" class="windowbg', $cnt == 0 ? '' : '2', '"><center><div style="word-wrap: break-word; width: 100px;">', $topic['poster']['link'], '</div></center></td>
<td width="12%" class="windowbg', $cnt == 0 ? '' : '2', '" style="text-align:center;"><small>', $topic['time'], '</small></td>
</tr>';

} }

if(end($what))
echo'
<tr class="related">
<td colspan="6" style="text-align: center; background-color: #EEEEEE;">
<div class="smalltext extra_info" style="-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;">
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/dots.gif" alt=""/> <a href="',$scripturl,'?action=recent" target="_blank">
View More Recently Updated Topics</a> <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/dots_left.gif" alt=""/>
</div>
</td>
</tr>';

echo '
</table>

Yes it is you can do caching on it
Here is an example that does 60 seconds
Replace

Code: [Select]

$what = ssi_recentTopics('10', $exclude_boards = array(29, 44, 17, 38, 53, 61), 'array');
With

Code: [Select]

if (($what = cache_get_data('ssi_mainpagecache', 60)) == null)
{
$what = ssi_recentTopics('10', $exclude_boards = array(29, 44, 17, 38, 53, 61), 'array');

// Check if cache is enabled
global $modSettings;
if (!empty($modSettings['cache_enable']))
cache_put_data('ssi_mainpagecache', $what, 60);
}

Thank you for this, sir!

[SMFHacks]

It is good to do for any data that isn't changing in a short period of time.

Another similar question.

How would I put a full SSI function that I call in index.template.php in cache?

For example, I have this custom SSI function that I call on every page like this:

Code: [Select]

echo ssi_topPoster(7,'week');

[SMFHacks]

Very similiar

Code: [Select]

if (($topPostercache = cache_get_data('ssi_toppostercache', 90)) == null)
{
$topPostercache = ssi_topPoster(7,'week');

// Check if cache is enabled
global $modSettings;
if (!empty($modSettings['cache_enable']))
cache_put_data('ssi_toppostercache', $topPostercache, 90);
}
   
   
    echo $topPostercache;

Wonderful

Keep on caching you can run a lot of sites on one server that way. I run like 50,000 forums off one server for very low cost.

[shuban]

Insane, surely their are drawbacks AND I bet a lot of those forums are bone stock. How many queries do you get loaded per second, simultaneously?

[SMFHacks]

All sites hosted on createaforum.com my forum hosting service plus smfforfree.com and smfnew.com They also have gallery pro installed if they want it and alot of my other mods as well.

Not too bad one set of files for each domain and I have them all tweaked a ton.
