Improve CuteNews Performance by Adding Page Caching, Be nice to your server by making it work less Options

[FUNimations]

SO i checked out the 2 hacks. Only the approve hack adds something to index.php, and got nothing to do with headers.

CODE

<?php
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate");
header("Pragma: cache");

$if_modified_since = preg_replace('/;.*$/', '', $_SERVER['HTTP_IF_MODIFIED_SINCE']);

$mtime = filemtime("./cutenews/data/comments.txt");
$gmdate_mod = gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', $mtime) . ' GMT';

if ($if_modified_since == $gmdate_mod) {
header("HTTP/1.0 304 Not Modified");
die();
}
header("Last-Modified: $gmdate_mod");
?>

I dont believe that this code goes into the cutenews index.php file but rather your websites main page. (index.php is the most common filename for the websites main page.)

i see... That makes sense to me.


Thanks

Hey, this is a good hack but I want it to refresh when I edit or delete something so I don't have to add a comment and delete to make it update again.

Thanks if you can help me.

So does it work or not?
And what is the official code because I see it's been modified a lot.
Has anyone tested it?
And where exactly do you add the code?

No hack is official, that's why it's called a hack

To answer your question: don't know.

Hi,

The final code is the one from post #7?

yep

[Newsuser]

yep

Ok, so i have to simply add the code from post #7 before

CODE

<?PHP

/***************************************************************************
CuteNews CutePHP.com

to my script's main index.php file(the one which opens admin login page)?

[FUNimations]

yes

[Newsuser]

yes

It seems to be working, but how do I make sure?
By the way I have set filemtime path to ./data/comments.txt considering that comments.txt is located in the data directory within the same directory where index.php is, is it a correct path?

Cheers for the hack. Noticeable difference.

One thing however... when I go to the 'admin' page of Cute News, I have the following errors at the top of the page.

CODE

Warning: filemtime() [function.filemtime]: stat failed for ./cutenews/data/comments.txt in /home/paramore/public_html/cutenews/index.php on line 7

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/paramore/public_html/cutenews/index.php:7) in /home/paramore/public_html/cutenews/index.php on line 14

I presume it's something small I must of did wrong when applying the hack.

[FUNimations]

like Newuser pointed out on line 7 you must change the path to comments.txt
the 2nd warning might be related to the first.

Can you please reply to my last post?

Can you please reply to my last post?

i thought i had answered both of you with my previous post
changing that path would seem ok i think, altough i think that you could use this page caching also on the pages where you have CN include codes; And then you do need ./cutenews/data/comments.txt

Thanks.
How do i use that caching on the pages with CN include codes?

Means only cache get the page download more faster .. but if the first time user from the organic search engine it still have to download all the page. so the site speed still slow, is the CSS in CuteNews.. Sorry for my humble question.

Thank very much you in advance ...

Someone told me you will find there's bug using IE cache and it is advisable to add "must-revalidate" inside cache command header or perhaps IE is not going to refresh the particular page just like Netscape/Firefox may.
