I'm having this same issue with implementing Outbrain - they give you HTML to paste onto the page, but there's a section in there that needs to reflect the permalink of each page as its loaded. Is there a way while using something like [bd] Widget Framework - Advanced HTML to paste the Outbrain...

We've had some problems with Google telling us that our sitemap is in an invalid format. After reading this thread I decided to test the sitemaps with compression turned off: $canCompress = false; I did this, rebuilt the sitemaps and re-submitted and Google accepted them and reported no...

We purchased this addon last week to deal with migrated content with complex HTML. Its working about 75% of the time, but we have some posts that when wrapped with the tag simply will not render the html. I've even tried removing all of the complex html and putting a simple line of text wrapped...

I'm definitely going to look more into X-Sendfile, thanks. My question is more about the db connection within Xenforo - is it opened when index.php starts and then closes when the all processing (including reading this file off the server) is done - or is the connection to the DB opened when a...

So we've narrowed this down to most likely happening on slower devices like phones without a wifi connection, loading images from a connected pc seem to run quickly. A few more questions: 1. When index.php runs and does its work to get an image is the database connection left open until...

Thanks Mike! So it would be safe to assume any delays with this function would be due to really large files or some sort of network issue?

We're troubleshooting some slow site transactions on our site. We've see requests to attachments from index.php that are loading slowly. NewRelic shows a big lag in response from XenForo_FileOutput, where it took 12,600 ms for this function to respond. Slowest components Count Duration %...

I agree addons are probably part of the problem. But I'm also disappointed there wasn't a central location or resource on configuring high traffic sites (see my mods above) as I would think this is a common list of performance tweaks. Would be great to have all of those tweaks listed in 1 spot...

A few weeks ago we migrated a high traffic site to Xenforo. Basic Setup is: 2 load balanced servers on the front end memcache enabled for backend The symptoms - The site seems to be running well and then out of the blue the database performance falls off a cliff and everything goes down...

Thanks that helped! The part where this was breaking and it took me a bit to realize was the ability to find the image based on the path from this query: SELECT setting FROM settings WHERE varname = 'datafull' I kept looking at this path and it seemed fine, but I was on the VBulletin server...

Hi, I'm working on importing from VB Photopost to Xen Media Gallery. When running through the import steps the 1st few steps work fine (categories and albums). I've confirmed from looking at the xf tables that the data imported is accurate. When it gets to media it runs for a few minutes and...

I wasn't sure with the version upgrades if it was 100% database upgrades or if anything was done on the file system as part of any upgrades, which would then account for why it needed to run on each server. The code we deploy to each server is identical, all pointing to the same database, and...

We run on a system with 2 load balanced apache servers. Yesterday we upgraded to 1.4.3. I have a few questions about how to deal with this. 1. Run upgrade on each server? Prior to the upgrade (weeks ago) I had pointed my hosts file to a single server, not the LB. So when I ran the upgrade it...

Hi, We just installed Xenforo Media Gallery into our Engineering environment to test it out on a site that we are yet to migrate in our live environment. The import from VB 4.2 itself ran smooth, my question is with the log files and redirection. The initial VB4.2 import had already run and...

Ok makes sense, thanks! Big Board also says to rebuild the user cache, would anything be built by doing that? This is an large forum that if I can avoid that step I'd like to as it took a very long time in our ENG environment and I'd hate to keep live users off that long when we migrate the...
