Re: aks_header : Compress your pages on the fly. Strip white spaces + gzip

Because adding domain specific compression (stripping unnecessary spacing) works better than using only generic compression (gzip), although the compression rate of gzip + space-stripping is not really a lot higher than just using gzip, which is clearly visible in the test that’s included in the topic start. When not using gzip, stripping spaces gives 8% compression, but if you are already using gzip, stripping spaces only compresses 1% more. It’s an interesting experiment, but not worth it in reality.

I think I found out what’s up: If Site Wide Comments are on (Admin > Preferences > Basic > Accept Comments), then an <h2 id=“comment”> is placed the bottom of EVERY article, regardless if comments are on for that article or whether “One By Default” is set to No, whic it is in my site. I think this is a bug in TXP, so I’m gonna check there. Otherwise, this totally breaks ANY use of aks_header for linking to normally external file in txp.

Set (Admin > Preferences > Basic > Automatically append comments to articles? – NO)

or

Temporary solution – edit Form “comments_display” and add some if tags.
For example <txp:if_comments_allowed><h2 id="comment">....</h2></txp:if_comments_allowed>

.

.

Possible it’s TxP bug or I understand TxP logic. :(

File /textpattern/publish.php, code from function doArticle

if ($use_comments and $comments_auto_append)
{
        $article .= parse_form('comments_display');
}

Possible this code need change to:

if ($use_comments and $comments_auto_append and $thisarticle['annotate'])
{
        $article .= parse_form('comments_display');
}

I’d rather see the entire auto_append stuff removed from preferences. It’s the cause of a lot of confusion.

Any idea how much of a server drain would this plugin method present over mod_gzip? I wouldn’t imagine it to be a lot, but every bit does make a difference.

aks_header stripping unnecessary spacing, that gives a few the byte of economy and much aesthetic pleasure to view of html source. :)

aks_header use same gzip compression method as mod_gzip. If you do not need strip, then use mod_gzip, because mod_gzip module of Apache and works a bit quick.

Re: aks_header : Compress your pages on the fly. Strip white spaces + gzip

Zoiks! Is this plugin compatible with 4.2.0 only? When I added it to my page template (4.0.8) I get something crazy, which looks like this

What could be the problem?

Re: aks_header : Compress your pages on the fly. Strip white spaces + gzip

That is a screen snap of what my site looked like after installing aks_header. I uploaded it to twit pic just to make life easy. My question is: what am I doing wrong with the plugin to have it output a bunch of random-looking symbols?

Possible it conflict with other plugins. :(

Please, install last version aks_header (after install plugin order must be = 1)

Put to page template

<txp:aks_header strip="0" gzip="0" /><!DOCTYPE html  . . .

and insert this code to any article

<txp:php>print_r(ob_list_handlers());</txp:php>

give me output.
