Well here my testscenarios :
1 Testserver Windows 7 pro 74bit WAMPP VB 4.1.10 Suit in a subfolder of htdcos called /forums
Everything works fine , Sprites generated and showing up. but TMS doesnt work.

2 Testserver : Debian Squeeze up to date System, Testforum installs on subforum , TMS doesnt Work.

3. my working Forum, without Subfolders . TMS works ?! strange...TMS work like it done before. Well. With the Sprite Addon my Forum Icons (special Addon for it) shows the original Icons and not my special Ones. :) So i cant install that addon. :(

Such behavior shouldnt correlate with your operating system, since we didnt depend on anything the system generates.

The point, that your working forum now doesnt have any problems with TMS, seems strange, so maybe it is a problem with the TMS beta. I think it is the best to see what happens with the next version, maybe it will solve this, since it doenst use TMS anymore.
If not, i will gladly look at this again.


What i am more interested in at this point is the addon you use to change your forum icons. Can you tell me the name of this addon? I dindt get a repsonse from Popa Andrei until now.

Maybe it is even the same addon giorgino used before (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=244351).

Since customize each icon per forum is a built in feature of vBulletin, called forum prefix, (which we support since our first version of this addon, cause we use this ourself), using the built in feature solved this matter for giorgino (and reduces the time of maintenance work, since there is one external addon less)

A fully solution can be found here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....0&postcount=36 (and the following up post by mooff)

@osbes
well, the addon was the same like that from giogino. So i deinstalled and make it with forum prefixes. Works nice .
So the next thing is that i must recompile php to use GD Library 2.36 or higher. Cause php 5.3.3.7 squeeze 7 is compiled with gd 2.3.4.
here the gd Part of my PHP Info :
it would be nicer with ImageMagick 6.x because you dont have to recompile .

The Problem is, that the most icons or graphics not converted into Sprites . Error is : you are using gd version 2.3.4 .....

Nice to hear, that this solved your problem with the forum icons. Maybe this will also be the solution for Popa Andrei (if he currently depends on the same addon instead the built-in solution).


If you are using, the embed version of GD within PHP, this issue is fixed since PHP 5.3.0, so there shouldn't be any need to recompile.

The error regarding the version of GD is experimental and is not included in the upcomming version. The problem with this is, that there is not consequent way the version of GD is adressed by PHP, so we can't make 100% sure that it is the correct version or not.

The main problem with an outdated GD version (and the current only neccesary part to update this) is when your sprite has icons that looks like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/246391/Robin_result.png (it is stretched and vertical lines are added), cause before GD 2.0.36 , GD D had a problem handling grayscale images with alpha channel correctly.

There wont be any support for ImageMagick in the next versions, since there is currently no know adapter class which supports GD an ImageMagick. As long as there i no such class, i wont support ImageMagick, since i have to write a big amount of the main part a second time and cant guarantee that it works, since we dont use ImageMagick for our live forum.

Which icons are missing in your sprite?

Pls see the FAQ, for similar problems: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....93&postcount=2 maybe this will help you faster as i can response :)

Is there an updated e.t.a. on the 4.1.10 release?

Works fine with 4.1.10.
Excellent product moof!

Hello Osbes,
when do you update for new version?

4.1.11 has been released. TMS reports template issues.

I have the same problem and waiting for a fix. Thanks in advance :-)

Installed, but confused in third step :(
