you have to create a layout for this categoryWhen i click on a category it just takes me to a blank portal page (ie. i click "news" and it takes me to a portal page but the content area is just empty) is that suposed to happen?
Please try the attached install file and tell me if you can uninstall then.
This is actually be design... the first-post index is actually important for article threads. I didn't think it would be that much of an impact on performance, so I didn't put any conditionals on it. I have just created a new version which I've attached to this post which adds THREE queries to threads in order to determine if it's an article before it requires the first-post index. Please tell me if this improves your performance issues.I'm not sure if this is a bug or an incompatibility issue but it's causing quite severe performance issues for us.
Any chance you could comment Jaxel?
The new Post.php will only change keys if a thread is an article thread... If it is an article, it NEEDS the first post ID, its just simple. It needs to put the first post at the top of each page.It's still changing the key for the query to thread_id_post_date though. Is that still necessary as it seems to cause issues with the Post Ratings addon (but it could be our indexes need fixing)?
This is by design. The portal is essentially running a search query to determine what should be on the portal and what isn't. This is needed in order to use threads as articles, instead of articles being their own content type. However, the caching system was put in place precisely to reduce the amount of server load. If this is increasing your server load, it sounds like you disabled caching for your RecentNews block.Here's are another 2 XenPorta queries that are usually very fast but become very disproportionately slow when our forum gets busy

Our total query time was around 1 second and these 2 queries made up most of it. Normally they take each take 0.00x seconds and the total query time is 0.2 seconds.
Hopefully this is useful for Jaxel to optimise things.
No.If you set the recent news cache time to 1 hour, does that mean that new news only get posted after the 1 hour cache time has expired?
