[MikaN]

How did you modify that file?
And what vbulletion version do you have?

[stevectaylor]

Some of our icons are not showing in 4.11

[stevectaylor]

Is your sprite folder writable?

[sarangan]

Now thread icons are not showing.. Still need another fix.


We are still waiting for a fix for this problem so we can enable the plugin in our forums.

Please..

I assume you are running 4.1.11?

[kavehch]

hi

i have this problem

Now thread icons are not showing.. Still need another fix.

and i spirit folder is writeable

[sarangan]

I assume you are running 4.1.11?

Yes, I do.

[stevectaylor]

Yes, I do.

I knew that we was various forum on differing versions all are fine except the latest 4.1.11 forums

[stevectaylor]

TBH not sure why they are not charging for this mod. or at least a donate function.

[John Lester]

I haven't actually tried this yet, but I'm wondering if I can use the hook to include my smilies into the sprite? Or is there another mod that does this?

[Webrunner]

Is this compatible with this mod?
http://products.digitalpoint.com/vbulletin-thread-avatars.php

[michelle86]

Installed.

But my Page Speed results still say I should sprite these images:

The following images served from ****.com should be combined into as few images as possible using CSS sprites.

/images/buttons/collapse_40b.png
/images/buttons/report-40b.png
/images/buttons/reputation-40b.png
/images/buttons/search.png
/images/gradients/gradient-greytowhite.png
/images/gradients/grey-up.png
/images/gradients/selected-tab-gradient-with-top-alpha.png
/images/icons/icon1.png
/images/icons/icon10.png
/images/icons/icon11.png
/images/icons/icon3.png
/images/icons/icon5.png
/images/icons/icon7.png
/images/icons/icon9.png
/images/misc/arrow.png
/images/misc/poll_posticon.gif


Did I do anything wrong? My page speed score on google did go up 5 points after installing this.

[TeamSempoi]

i use this plugin on vb4.1.11
but when i hit refresh i got error pages

[Webrunner]

is this mod supported at all?:confused:

[MikaN]

I'm wondering that as well. I think this feature (and the benefits of that) is such an essential thing that in general functionality like this should be included in Vbulletin's core.

[majjed2008]

i dont know how to install it , can you help me , is there any payed service for that ?

[doctorsexy]

I dont think its supported anymore

[visageiii]

the coder is still around, I'm able to get it working on my board, however, the status icons are having an issue on forumhome... any answer as to why they aren't showing up? using 4.1.11

[fai99al99]

waiting for some updates for 4.1.11

[Webrunner]

I would really like this mod to be updated, even if i have to pay for it...

[Fabikus]

Double click read marker doesn't work with this mod on 4.1.12. Is possible to fix it?

[John Lester]

All appears to be working fine with 4.1.12 PL 1.

[Hendrizius]

vBulletin, please integrate this as default. Having a forum like vbulletin without sprites. WTF

[sivaganeshk]

Why is this not built on official vb 4.1.12 ?

Any fix for this? >.<

Thanks

[markp_2000]

It is complaining about not have the php5-gd library at 2.0.36 or higher. I have verified that it is. Will the mod work with this complaint? It made the sprites in the directory.

People in past versions with earlier gd libraries had screwed up sprites for any icons that were grayscale. So if none of your icons are grayscale, I think you should be in good shape.

Beyond the current bug where thread sprites aren't showing up, everything else should work.

Thanks, I examined all of the sprites last night and they all look fine (no greyscale).

Using sprites, are not easy for the average user to actually modify the images and change things.

We didn't think it was something we wanted to push in vB4 at the time of release (3 years ago almost now).

Hopefully that view has changed now? Is there a better tracker item to upvote for CSS sprites than

I think, that may be offered as an option. Who want to use sprites plugin, active it on plugin & product.

[MikaN]

Now thread icons are not showing.. Still need another fix.

You can probably fix this manually.

Edit threadbit - template

It begins with:

<li class="threadbit {vb:raw thread.statusstring}<vb:if condition="$show['paperclip']">....

Add "sprite_statusicon_thread_30" (without quotes) in front of that threadbit string.. so that it looks like this:

<li class="sprite_statusicon_thread_30 threadbit {vb:raw thread.statusstring}<vb:if condition="$show['paperclip']">...

<li class="sprite_statusicon_thread_30 threadbit {vb:raw thread.statusstring}<vb:if condition="$show['paperclip']">...

That will fix it, but for some reason the template modification ceased automatically applying this change after vb 4.1.11

[fly]

That will fix it, but for some reason the template modification ceased automatically applying this change after vb 4.1.11

Well, if the template changed, can't you just modify the search and replace for it in TMS?

[Crotan]

Well, if the template changed, can't you just modify the search and replace for it in TMS?

I think that will be the better solution, but ultimately this addon needs to be updated for the same for it to be fully compatible with vb 4.1.11+ otherwise every user, who downloads and installs will have to do it

[MikaN]

Yes, that's a "quick fix" because for some reason even though that particular modification line is active its status is not checked so it's not applied and I couldn't find a reason for that.

ps. there's another similar thing with search_threadbit template. That string is active, but status is not checked -> doesn't work which means that getdaily results are missing that status icon also.

An another one: memberaction_dropdown:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2307726&postcount=498

Edit: as fly said it above .. the reason is obvious - if the original template has changed TMS can't modify that template because the search string doesn't match (sorry if this conclusion is obvious :) I'm just learning how TMS and this mod works :) ).

So I guess, somebody needs to update this mod to be fully compatible with the latest vB - remember... keeping vB "up-to-date" is important for security reasons. vBulletin should make this mod a core feature.

[fly]

The fact that it's not checked means that TMS couldn't find it. Those are the broken ones.

edit: OK, I went through and fixed everything but the 'memberaction_dropdown' template. Not sure I fully understand that one. Maybe I'll try to figure it out after work, or someone else is welcome to.

Instructions: After you install this mod, go into Template-Modifications Manager. Select the [Up-/Download Template-Modifications] link. Import the XML I posted, selecting Allow Overwrite (you may also need to select Ignore Product Version as well).

After that, the majority of the templates should be fixed.

[Webrunner]

does this have to be installed after installing the mod?

You have vB 4.11+ ?

Most likely that's a TMS error - solution -> "vBulletin 4.1.11 or higher is currently not fully supported by TMS. If you use this version please apply the following patch: Attachment 136973"

It seems that those .png's have moved from that memberaction_dropdown template to one of the .css files (forgot which one).

Thread icons appear as blank after I upgraded to 4.1.12. I already upgraded TMS and applied the patch. Main forum menu appears correctly.

Any solutions? I don't want to uninstall this.

hi

I can't fine this line

Use TMS.

[abdobasha2004]

pleeeeeeease any relaese for this for vb 3.7?

[doileloi]

upon installation a new stylevar imgdir_sprite will be created. Update this stylevar based on your file structure - default value is the vbulletin sprite directory. Make sure the folder is writable, else the sprites can't be saved!

HI I can't fine any on ftp after install

[markp_2000]

You have to create this directory yourself.

mobile styles didn't get the stylevar imgdir_sprite

4.2.0 PL2

everything else is working though

[cuco88]

I just tried it on 4.2.0 PL2.
With:
TMS 1.2.0 b4
TMS 1.2.0 b4 Patch
CSS-Sprites 0.7.2
This (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2330122&postcount=541) template fixes

Result: The template modification works, it generates sprites and adds them to my forum, BUT:
- It is not working for the mobile style
- Memberaction_Dropdown is still not found by TMS (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2307726&postcount=498)
- on the "who is online"-page the small triangle for the sorting makes the coloumn to big, so it "destroys" the design (only a few pixel)
- the "unsubscribe a forum"-image is shown 1,5x
and the biggest problem:
- it is not working correctly if you use your own statusicons with a prefix. The generated CSS rules and the inserted CSS Tags are not matching, so no images are shown. This is disappointing. :(

Damn, this looked so promising! I hope, vB will add this default. :) Now I have to uninstall it.

What do you mean your own statusicons with a prefix. I have this working with my own statusicons

screen capture for the "un-subscribe a forum" screw up? Is it possible that you unsubscribe image is grayscale and your using an old version of the GD library? Which was a reoccurring issue for people.

The only outstanding bugs with this mod that I'm aware of:

- on the "who is online"-page the small triangle for the sorting makes the column header to big by a few pixels
- Forumdisplay pages would not have their threads sprite statusicons added in latest vBulletin. Users supplied fix, post 536 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2329828&postcount=536)
- Search pages won't have sprites, needs a template update. Both this and the one above broke because of vbulletin template changes in later versions that this mod hasn't accounted for since released.

[Pure Dope]

Yes, and I use TMS.

Does it work on a default style with no parent style? I assume it does, which means... I probably can't help you with your custom style.

3 weeks of updates in the last year and after nothing... why ? this mod was really promising... what a pity :/

[jreuc]

I agree that this mod was really promising and should be continued.

I have experienced the same issue as many other people here with the custom status icons (wrong subdirectory used by the mod). A quick fix would be to disable status icons from the CSS sprites. How can we do that ?

No change in speed or rating for spirits.

Edit:

Updated the tms patch and the product a few pages back and it installed without the errors.

Speed only slightly increased, and "Combine images into CSS sprites" is listed as a high priority.

It looks like the gradient, misc, and site_icons folder weren't included... should they have been?

[fxdigi-cash]

It is a great mod, and the idea is brilliant. This is the best way to speed up the forum and reduce the load on pages. However, the main issue starts when using a customized style and there is no way to shrink down the style blocks size, but only by using colors instead of images. images that use shadow and high quality resolution have big impact on the server load and then the page load.

I think there must be a way how to gather up all customized images for a style in Sprites and then use that Sprites to render all custom style as one piece.

sorry for my English if it is not clear.

You can probably fix this manually.

Edit threadbit - template

It begins with:

<li class="threadbit {vb:raw thread.statusstring}<vb:if condition="$show['paperclip']">....

Add "sprite_statusicon_thread_30" (without quotes) in front of that threadbit string.. so that it looks like this:

<li class="sprite_statusicon_thread_30 threadbit {vb:raw thread.statusstring}<vb:if condition="$show['paperclip']">...
I'm afraid that doesn't work for me, the icons are still vanished/hidden.

[Spangle]

At first I thought this was really good, but I have hit a snag.

Since installing this and TMS I have lost the Forum Icons.

I'm using 4.2.1

Style: Breeze

I've disabled this MOD, and the TMS MOD but I still have no forum icons, help please.

EDIT
I uninstalled the TMS and the icons have re-appeared.

CSS MOD still disabled

[pokusek]

This doesn't work with TMS on 4.2, I am getting the same errors as posted above (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2419668&postcount=616).

The link to the page 37 didn't help (I did not find anything useful), any ideas what should I do to fix it?

[RustyF]

I read this but not it would apply as I don't have a custom icon manager installed.

Question
I am using an Add-On for changing the forum icons (like www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=244351). When using CSS Sprites, my forum icons are reverted to the original state.

Answer
The feature to use forums custom icons is builtin in vBulletin 4. You can add to every forum an own imageprefix, so it will use forums custom icons. If you use the vBulletin imageprefix for your your forums, these icons will instantly added to the sprite.

An explanaition to this can be found in the vBulletin Manual (under Prefix for Forum Status Images):
https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/...orum_add_forum

I don't think the link to the manual is going to the correct place any more.

Is that my issue or is it something else?

Also on this pages instructions you mentioned there will be a new variable and I need to configure to my file structure. Sorry, but I have no idea how to do that.

My default them is broken at the moment as i need to upgrade. But I also looked at the default thing and it is doing the same thing. I checked my write permission on the sprite folder and it is 755 which is writable on my server.

link to site if you need it http://cebuforum.org

Thanks for the help.

Rusty

[skol]

upon installation a new stylevar imgdir_sprite will be created. Update this stylevar based on your file structure - default value is the vbulletin sprite directory.

It means to create the path to the sprite folder..eg: /sprite..Your images are missing from FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY which means the mods working,just the path is wrong to your sprite folder..

Edit: This works for me vb4.2.1 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2330122&postcount=541

[elfenny]

then this does not work?

[fxdigi-cash]

well, I can't say it is working or not working...

when I upgraded to vb4.2.1 the mess started showing up. I have no issue with TMS being installed alone on my vb as well as this mod alone. when I try to install United-Forum CSS Sprites mod, an error caused by TMS database table occurs. That means it is almost there...

I could see some templates for sprites are made, but not complete...

I believe there is still some issue with this mod, and if fixed I guess it will be the most useful mod on vb.org

Good luck

[fxdigi-cash]

by the way, why do I get this message: does not exist or is not readable.

the image is there and the chmod is 755.... so does it have to be 777!!! it always works with 755 ....

Update: no need to change the chmod from 755 for some servers. it works anyways.

[fxdigi-cash]

I installed both mods now TMS and United css sprites, but no changes....

I successfully installed both mods without any issues on my vb 4.2.1, but no changes happened even after testing my entire site...!!!

any idea from those who use vb.4.2 and above

[Delfi_r]

The problem is that the GD library is updated, tested indpendently so perhaps te problem is on the script.

I have reinstalled all files and I get some Template modifications 'incompatible' with 4,21, and the images/sprites/ is populated with some files so perhaps the error is on the condition that dispalys the message.

I installed both mods together as I applied the patch for TMS without any issues. I had one problem though. The GD lib is not compatible because mine is old version and can't update it because it is shared web hosting.

possibly I will be moving to a new web hosting instead of BH since their performance these days is not so good. "stinks :mad: "

I have verified that the problem is on the script, the part that tests the GD compatibility is wrong, even if the installed version is correct pull the error code.

I'll correct the script and see the new behaviour.

My hosting is enough for 12.000.000 pageviews month.

ok, great to know. Thanks for the valuable info.

I went ahead and did my own sprites on two different blocks; main and dynamic ...

but still the web hosting server is the spine of everything so if it is fast, using sprites is not going to do much... I think

It means to create the path to the sprite folder..eg: /sprite..Your images are missing from FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY which means the mods working,just the path is wrong to your sprite folder..

Edit: This works for me vb4.2.1 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2330122&postcount=541

This link worked for me as well 4.2.1

[AndrewSimm]

Click he icon to mark as read no longer works for me either.

[Unfolded90]

The fact that it's not checked means that TMS couldn't find it. Those are the broken ones.

edit: OK, I went through and fixed everything but the 'memberaction_dropdown' template. Not sure I fully understand that one. Maybe I'll try to figure it out after work, or someone else is welcome to.

Instructions: After you install this mod, go into Template-Modifications Manager. Select the [Up-/Download Template-Modifications] link. Import the XML I posted, selecting Allow Overwrite (you may also need to select Ignore Product Version as well).

After that, the majority of the templates should be fixed.

4.2.0 PL3 Fixed!

hey great mod, I recently installed this with TMS on a 4.2.0 patch level 4 forum, it looks like it installed but I cannot find the button to Refresh CSS-SPRITES. It's not showing up in ACP

For cut off icons I'd recommend just editing the sprite png file manually in a graphics editor.
While you're at it, try saving it in 8-bit color format with alpha channel (transparency). Not many editors support saving in that format (but browsers display it properly), so you can use https://tinypng.com/ for example. That can reduce the sprite size by more 50%. Just make sure to compare the result image with the original to see if there's a noticeable difference.

OMG, this mod is insane! I can't believe how good this works, my site is lightning fast!

And I have a VERY custom style running on my forum, with a lot of addons and template modifications. Before it took 1-2secs to load, sometimes a bit longer depending on what as being sent or received from the server. With is mod installed, the pages load INSTANTLY, no matter what. Its so fast the browser loading bar can't even keep up. LOL.

Thank you for this mod! So far everything seems to be running correctly.

*INSTALLED & TAGGED* If I could vote for MOTM, I would!
