Christopher Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hey good news, while working on the other site I figured how why the smoke banners aren't working. We have a cache plugin that's leaking itself into the forum. Should be able to get it fixed by tomorrow GeorgeF, Compenstine, T-Bone and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 lol talk about a roller coaster ride eh? Let me explain what's happening here for the tech inclined. We use a cache plugin that helps run the front end of the site (Store, Blog etc) Basically it should only cache items in our root folder and should ignore /forum/. However, it's not following the ignore rules like it should. Vapor Talk has a CDN network these days that helps keep the forum, store, blog etc loading nice and speedy no matter your location. The forum and the front end both have their own cache plugins that help manage this. But, this one particular plugin is being a little b....heh...it's the forum let me rephrase, it's not doing what it's supposed to. At any rate I've notified the developers about the issue and they're going to release a patch in the next week or two. Remember this is developer time so it could take longer. Once I have that update my ignore rules will start working and it will stop trying to simplify the /smokefree and /forums folder When you see the smoker banner coming back it's because I have the cache module turned off. You'll notice this happens mostly at night. That's because I need the cache system offline while I update major core files. At any rate once it's fully fixed, I'll be sure to post back here and don't worry I won't forget our beloved smoke banner I'm also under some pressure by the board to finish up another sister site we're currently building So a few things here on the forum are on the back burner so I don't get the pitch fork.

Christopher Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well the smoke banners are going to work for a little while The CDN ordeal isn't working to well on the front end anyway. So I guess I'll have to ask the boss for some more powerful hardware. Woot woot, all in favor of new toys Compenstine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Christopher, I thought you were the boss???... Please let me know if I'm wrong... To be honest, we all remember our quit date so it doesn't really matter when you think about it. Banners are just a "show off" thing... IMHO...We should all support, no matter where we are at in our smoking/vaping life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
