You are reading the Drake CMS Official Forums archive, available for historical purposes only.
Drake CMS has been rebranded into Lanius CMS, visit the new Lanius CMS Official Forums if you need support about Lanius CMS or Drake CMS -> Lanius CMS migration.
after a long time of non activitation I relaunch
today multidrake. Here is the links of my site : Multidrake
1. Step: testing of a
new template. This template was written in original by
olwebdesing.com for joomla. I take the design and rewrite
the code for drake cms. This template is now tableless and
the sourecode is optimised for search engines, like in the
articel "Joomla Template Tutorial" at Compassdesign .
Please test the new template, I test is for IE6 and firefox
1.5.0.12.
2. Step: reactivation of the multilange
feature for menu, modules an content. (during this week)
3. Step: presentation of a new component, real estate with
multilanguage, for drake cms. (during this week).

Hi franky
Very nice, clean and precise...a nice
look...
Would you be interested in posting a step by
step mini tutorial of how you converted the Joomla template.
With the absolute plethora of free templates avaiable it
would be a very very useful addition to the Drake CMS knowledge
base, Manuals and HowTos...
Thanks again for the
look..

Wow! I really like the work you did, my compliments
If you need any help during your experimentation and
development, just ask!
Just a side note: the user
manual is being written (by L.M.Antunes and with my reviews) and
should be available before the end of the year; I will meanwhile
keep writing the developers' manual

Hi,
I'm testing on my site a small and easy caching
system for the drake cms.
At the bottom of the
site you will see the information about the loading of the
sites. I disable the caching for the news and guestbook.
Please look at the site and test it.

It's
wonderful, franky.
Did you write it for Drake CMS? I
would be interested to merge it to the codebase...if you are
willing, of course

Hi legolas558,
I would be very glad if we could
implement this caching into the drake cms as core
It
is very easy and fast.
The concept is not by me, I was
looking for a cache class for using in the drake cms.
At first I found PHP hypercacher , later I found also a
component from an other CMS with the same concept.
I
do a lot of copy and paste from this source into the index.php
(drake cms) and copy some php file from the component into the
directory of drake and add a table to the db.
I do the
coding (hardcoding) with a "hot needle" ignoring all
the darke devolopers guidelines, I only want to see the result
and how fast it could be. The cached page will be shown without
any drake core and db query.
I don't know if you like this concept, here is a short
summary
at top of the index.php
I load a
class php for reading the cache config file and also some needed
function.
then the source looks if the cache is
enabled and some rules are okay then we look for a cached file in
the cache dir. if found we send it to the browser and exit the
index.php without executing the drake core.
if not
found then the drake core is executed.
at the end of
index.php there is also some code which generate a cache file and
update a table in the db.
In the drake core I
made some needed modification that it will work like on my
site.
1. on the first opening of a drake site we must
set a cookie for the user language (func CMSUser), because the
language is part of cached filename.
2. for the login
into the frontpage (mod_login) we also need a cookie (func
initlogin) so we could disable the hole caching. also if we
logout we must remove the cookie.
3. in pagenav.php
the link for << Start should be the same like for the first
page.
Start :
option=content&task=view&id=1&Itemid=10
First Page (1) :
option=content&task=view&id=1&Itemid=10&page=1&am
p;total_items=6
both links show the same content but for the caching the
have different urls and so we generate two cache files.
4. in drake.php (function GetComponentParams) your build a new
url if there is no Itemid. You put the Itemid at the second
position. It would be better if you can put it at the end before
the seo. Because in the cache config I can set a disallow filter
like this "option=content&task=section\noption=content&task=
category" so I can disable the whole tree.
From the
Mainmenu News >> Drake CMS News
(option=content&task=category&id=7&Itemid=10) we
select a content and then in the pathway we have a link for Drake CMS News (option=content&task=category&id=7) after clicking on this link we get a new one like
(option=content&Itemid=10&task=category&id=7)
We have two different links for the same this is not
good.
Please give me a email address where I can
send you the source and more information

@adrian,
till today nobody has problems with this
link, I had a lot of visitors from this forum.
Please look if you can go to this link www.funpic.de this
is the main page from the hoster.
At the bottom of the
hosters site are some links to other site which are hosted
at funpic.de. You can test them.

Interesting the layout and content

There have always been
"code plugs" to plug in a caching system, but I have
always been of the idea that caching should (smartly) be done by
the webserver. Unfortunately webservers are not that good at
caching - neither Apache - unless you produce specific headers
(ETag etc.) which will "handshake" the caching between
the webserver and the browser client. So, now that I see you
could come up with a "lite" solution (in the truly
spirit of Drake CMS) I am interested in merging it to the
codebase.
We will achieve 2 results: we will optimize
the URL generation, as you pointed out, and we will make easier
the integration of this cache system. We should also allow the
cache system to be optional, so our surgery should be
mini-invasive, but I am really interested in seeing it
"live" in the official Drake CMS.

Drake CMS is
already fast, but with a real cache system it will be blazing
fast!

I think that a more reliable way to submit your files is to use
the contributions tracker, add an

The pagecaching of Multidrake is disabled ,
till we have our own caching system from inside the drake
core.
The original index.php is running again.

Hi,
Multidrake is back with pagecaching.
Now
the Drake CMS has his own pagecaching insite the core (branches
version).
On my Site I made a new installation and
enable the pagecaching.
Concept of our pagecaching:
In the background you can for each module or component
individual enable or disable the cache. Also time for
caching and make a disallow filter for each could be done.
restictions: 1. post request, 2. the combination content and drabots (vote / comment)
could not be cached.
On my Demosite I enable
the cache debug, so you could see when a module/component is
written into the cache or it is read from the cache file. The caching time for all is 120 sec.
Please
test the pagecaching on my site very intensively.

Excellent work franky I will follow the development of the cache
system on your branch and (slowly) integrate the changes into the
trunk.
The final cache system might be a bit different
from the one you designed, but without yours we would never have
been able to design the best one for Drake CMS!
