@MNNLeafre
Sprite doesn't match the css rules. Try the sprite refresh option.

@MonkYZ
please check your stylevar imgdir settings in the ACP. Make sure the folder there says cpstyles and not les

You can change this to
Code:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.8" maxversion="" />
or lower to run it with vBulletin 4.0.8.

I have set this thread to vB Version: 4.x.x, since it should work with 4.x.x theoretically (as far as i can see), but until now it wasnt independent and practically confirmed, thats why the minversion is currently set to 4.1.3, the lowest vBulletin version for which it was confirmed in a live system.

Best regards
Sebastian


Hope that helps. =)

An issue I see with this mod is that is uses an un-official, and un-supported version of GD that you can only get with a lot of finecking about. Since GD is more or less dead, there will not be a new update of it, and would not be integrated with new PHP releases. So this would only work on very few websites.

I suggest to the creator if they want more usage of this hack, that they make it work with the supported version of GD, or convert it to work with Image Magic.

If this could be done, and it actually works, I would not mind supporting it for a very long time, since its one of the things that should speed up a website by a lot, and its the only thing Google is complaining about.

@PirateTinman
What are you talking about?
This addon uses the GD version which is installed on your server. If you choose to install an un-official and un-supported version of GD on your server that is your choice.

This addon does not include, require or install an un-supported, un-official version of GD.

This mod is not working properly and does more pages fast, I think interest is

PirateTinman 10-24-2011 07:56 PM

@Moof
Not what I am saying at all.
The issue is that this does not work with GD version 2.0.34
If you have this version of GD it will not work properly, the forum icons get cut off at the bottom, but if you run a newer un-supported and more or less impossible to get version 2.0.36 it will work.

If you look back at other posts people are having the same issue, the image is getting cropped at the bottom, and they all seem to be running 2.0.34

So as far as I can tell, this mod only works with an un-supported version of GD, and the only way to get it working is to recompile PHP, something a lot of people do not want to do.

Question
My Icon (mostly the paperclip) looks like http://dl.dropbox.com/u/246391/Robin_result.png (it is stretched and vertical lines are added), what can i do?
Answer
I assume you use a GD Libary older than 2.0.36.

GD had a problem handling grayscale images with alpha channel correctly, which was fixed with GD 2.0.36 in the year 2007.

The solution is to update the GD-Libary to 2.0.36 (or later) or replace every file which uses "gray+alpha" with an version using "color RGBA".
I would advise to update the GD-Libary, cause there is also a serious security problem, that was fixed by Debian in the year 2009.

For the embed Version of GD within PHP, this issue is fixed since PHP 5.3.0.

I do not understand why you keep refering to the GD Version which was released 2007 as unsupported. I don't understand either why you refer to it as "impossible to get".

As for the "cut off at bottom" bug. I do not know what is the cause of that, but we have seen forums which run GD 2.0.34 which do not have this bug (those can be identified via the "grey-bug" this GD version has, see the quote if this is unclear).


And there are a lot of "as far as i know" "they all seem to" statements in your post which make me wonder why your are posting a bold statement like "this mod will only work on very few websites".

To be honest Moof

I keep checking back on this thread with the HOPE that you will support Image Magic

with image magick you do not need to re-compile anything if the version you are using (GD) is not supported.

It is by far superior in every way to GD.

Any website that is serious about images USES Image Magick.

We can only hope that this fantastic Mod - "that I voted for Mod of the month - even though I cannot use it :(" will one day support image magick

What do you mean by not supported?

It does work with GD 2.0.34 and below. It's just that GD 2.0.34 has a grey-scale bug, which does affect like 1 out of 100 icons and can be solved by manually converting the icon to rgba.

In addition GD 2.0.34 has a security issue, therefore we advise to upgrade, but upgrading is not necessary for the addon to work.

Point is php has a GD libary included, so by far more servers will have gd than imagemagick. That's why the choice was made to go with GD.

Aside that there is a bug somewhere which causes a cutoff on some icons. But we do not know what the issue is there exactly and can't reproduce it on our server.
