I’ve just removed all the base64 functions from snippets, plugins and chunks cache and I was able to reduce the cache file by about 37KB.
I guess we could further reduce the size of the cache file by another 30-40% by applying some php compression/obfuscation to remove comments and whitespaces. Does anyone know of such functions or libraries?
Raymond, did I tell you that you rock lately?? Great stuff.
And I was also looking for something to remove whitespaces from my php recently, but so far haven’t found the right tool.? I’ll let you know if I find something useful.
I ’m hoping to have these changes uploaded to SVN very soon so that everyone can get a chance tryout the new caching features which I think should be more scalable on large modx websites.

Concerning the RT editors. Have you guys really looked at the features of FCK lately? It really rocks! The new resource browser, image inserter and link browser is bt far the most flexible I have seen todate. It really runs circles around tinymce’s image and link browser.
I would like to standardize on the format used by FCK’s file browser. In so doing we could change the system settings from Image manager to Media Browser to include the following settings:
Media Browser base path
Media Browser base url
In this folder the use can upload flash, sounds, images and documents without having to manually create folders for docs, flash, images, etc.
What do you think?
As far as compressing code, I ran across this; it’s for javascript, but it should be adaptable for php files as well.

Sounds great, it seems like FCK might even be good enough to be integrated in the default install
Well so far so good. I’ve integrated FCK’s Resource browser (filemanger) into the CMS. It’s looking very nice and even has support for image editing (work in progress).

Can’t wait to try this out, available in SVN soon?
