A Redis cache handler for MyBB.
I currently use Memcache to cache both the MyBB settings and preparsed versions of each post (To save processing time on subsequent page loads of posts) however Memcache does not make it easy to clear items if you do not know the name of the item (preparsed posts are stored as hashes) so this was built to offer more control over flushing items (and I've always wanted an excuse to try Redis).
It may also be an idea to disable persistance for the Redis database (Use it purely as a in-memory cache) as MyBB will store persistant caches in its database.
When I understand Redis better I'll add more flexibility to the configuration of it.
- A Redis server
- The phpredis extension
- The desire to use code that has not been thoroughly tested

Merge the contents of the repository into your MyBB installation, making sure to overwrite
class_datacache.php. -
Edit
inc/config.phpand add the following:$config['redis']['host'] = '127.0.0.1'; $config['redis']['port'] = '6379';Note that:
- The port will default to 6379 if not specified.
- The host can be a Unix socket (Must be an absolute path)
- A password can be specified with
$config['redis']['auth']
-
Enable it by setting:
$config['cache_store'] = 'redis';in
inc/config.php.
