Hello people,
While using “disable” parameters helps with queries and processing time I was curious if they are a needed/of use if certain features were disabled on weblog preferences level.
eg.
-myweblog = do not use trackbacks

then

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="myweblog" dynamic="off" disable="trackbacks"}

would this ‘trackback’ parameter then even make any difference with respect to processing performance of the query?
Thanks for sharing!

I believe it would still query for them, yes. I suggest to always add this parameter, as it really doesn’t hurt, and there are a number of options which certainly cannot be disabled any other way.

Thanks Ingmar!
Every bit of performance helps and being aware of this helps build good habits, so thanks for the answer!
All the best!

The disable parameter is your best friend when coming to easy performance gains. I had a moderately sized site that didn’t use it and just by going back through and putting in relevant disable parameters in my weblog tags it probably easily doubled performance. That and not using complex if/then statements were too big ones for this site.

Thanks Brian,
I figured there was room for improvement.
Sort of SELECT * vs. SELECT x,y,z
Thanks! 😜
