You clearly do not have 4000 8-bit grey images on your server.

Aside that won't fix your 'CDN' problem. All it does fix is pictures looking strange in the sprite (in most cases the attachment icon).

Hello extreme-gaming,

have you this problem with every image? Since this is greyscale format you shouldnt have this issue with colored images, this would be weird/impossible.

I thought you have this problem just with a few images - like everyone else from who i know about this problem - so it would be possible to make it manually.

I didnt have a automatic solution for something like this at my hand (since image conversion is way beyond the scope of this addon), so i can just advise you to search for an solution (maybe based on a different image-library) and share it with us :)

Best regards
Sebastian

Hello extreme-gaming,

if you have the whole directory on a windows based system, you can use a gui with like ifranview with batch conversion to do this automaticlly.

Oh come on, you do not have 4000 8-bit grey images on your server.

Aside, you missed the important part of my post.

This won't fix your CDN problem. I won't. They are not related at all. Not. Nada. None.

edit: I fixed my post. Maybe you will see it now.
edit: dude, this is fun. I linked my fix. Maybe you can link me to show how you use 8-bit greyscale pictures to show colors. Or is your site some black, white and grey paradise?

08-03-2011 09:56 PM

I'll say it again. You have no idea how many images I have, what I use them for etc and so on. You have no idea if and how I choose to modify my images.. You need to learn not to put your nose where it doesn't belong. Let's end this argument now.

edit: I fixed my post. Maybe you will see it now.

the separate xml seems to be updated but I just downloaded the zip file since it includes both

Hello Crotan,

thanks for the notice. Fox told me this yesterday on vBGo, this should be fixed since then. I just checked it again, but it seems to be 0.7.1, so i assume that this is fixed.

i think you got a typo in your changes.

on your site it reads:

Code:

<span class="forumicon sprite_statusicon_1/forum_old_48" id="forum_statusicon_2"></span>

but the "1/" is wrong, it should read

Code:

<span class="forumicon sprite_statusicon_forum_old_48" id="forum_statusicon_2"></span>

So please remove the 1/

Best regards
Sebastian

The 1/ is my statusicon folder. I have a bunch of different status icons organized into seperate folders and in the Forums section, editing the Forums, I indicate what folder of Icons I want for that Forum with a XX/ .

Using Firebug it shows all of the missing Icons like you mentioned but with different numbers which are indicating the different folders those images sit in.

Thanks!

Hello steeler7,

if i understand you correctly you are using folders for the Prefix for Forum Status Images in the AdminCP?

This looks fantastic. Before I commence with installation, just one thing please. I don't quite understand which template edits to do in the diffs file. All those in there? Or just the 2 for version 0.7.1?

Mooff

08-04-2011 10:48 AM

All of them.

You need to edit every template where you want to use the sprite instead of images.
I would advise to install the TMS though, then the edits will be done during the install automatically. Manual editing takes some time since we support (not sure about the exact number) a huge load of pictures right now.

08-04-2011 11:23 AM

How long does it take to create the sprites? OK, I know I have a lot of skins installed, but it has been running for about 10 minutes now, and only 2 sprites have been created thus far.

Taurus1

08-04-2011 11:57 AM

OK, I am getting the connection was reset error everytime I run the Refresh. It runs for about 20 minutes and then times out. Please advise.

Osbes

08-04-2011 12:08 PM

Hello Taurus1,

i will change this in 0.7.2 so that he creates one sprites, than redirect to create antoher sprite and so one.

So it will be no problem for forums with a huge amount of styles :)

Best regards
Sebastian

Taurus1

08-04-2011 12:14 PM

Thank you for the quick response Sebastian! So at this stage can I just continue hitting the refresh until all is done? And will it only create the contents of the templates when all sprites have been created? Because I see at this stage none of the templates has any contents in.
OH, and will this have an affect on my CND? Sorry for all the questions!

Taurus1

08-04-2011 12:19 PM

OK, it seems to have finished now, but none of the css templates has any content inside, and now all my styles have no icons. What should I do now?? Please help!

Mooff

08-04-2011 12:25 PM

There should be debug messages during sprite creation. Did any error show up there?

Please send us those messages.

Osbes

08-04-2011 12:35 PM

This addon support CDNs since 0.6.2

After one sprite (and the rtl version) is created, it should fill the corresponding CSS file like sprite-main.css with content.

Just like Mooff said, please sead us the messages that are shown after the refresh of the sprites :)

Best regards
Sebastian

There was no messages. When I clicked Refresh nothing actually showed, I could just see that something was going on, as it said 'Connecting' and it was circling on top of my browser. I could see the sprites being created on my server. But after about 20 minutes my ACP would just give me the time out error. I clicked the Refresh link again, and the same thing happened again. After doing it a third time, right at the end it did display a page with some info on, but I did not save or keep that unfortunately. My bad....sorry!:(
I disabled it for now, just to get my forum looking OK again.

I have different images for statusicon (for categories), can this mod can convert it to css Sprites ??

my forum : collegers.net (guess sharing d link is allowed )

Mooff

08-04-2011 01:39 PM

@Taurus1
I can't think of a reason why the debug won't show up. And without debug it is really hard to help, we would have to start guessing and probably won't guess right for a long time.

@sivaganeshk
seems like you are using the vb4 build in prefixes for forums. Our addon can handle that. We use that on our board as well (see livedemo on www.united-forum.de ).

Yes. Through the Forums & Moderators panel in the ADMIN CP is where I am placing the number prefix for each individual folder.

Thanks!

08-04-2011 03:01 PM

I disabled the mod until we can figure out what is wrong. But now all my forum icons are still missing on my forumdisplay pages. Please help!

EDIT: Sorry that was a cache issue. All icons back now.

steeler7

08-04-2011 03:39 PM

After looking around and such, I got the "/" removed by using an underscore. So now some folders (only did a couple for now to test) are "1_" and they read out just like yours do at your United-Forums board when I checked with Firebug. I ran the Sprite Refresh and Still no Icons are showing up.

Thanks!

what exactly is your problem? i dont understand what you mean.

once I installed the Mod after few hrs, I noticed that almost all the statusicons images were HIDE. They were like they never been there..... Once I un-install the Mod after an hr or 2 came back to normal.:confused:

Osbes

08-04-2011 06:04 PM

Hello FReeSTER,

this is a weird behavior, have you look into it via firebug or something else?

I would assume that your cache played a trick on you. If you want me to look into it, please give a link were you are using sprites and have this kind of problem, then i can give you a solution :)

Best regards
Sebastian

Osbes

08-04-2011 06:05 PM

Hello steeler7,

with 0.7.2 i will add a solution for you, so that it will work with using folders for the Prefix for Forum Status Images.

I will build it tomorrow or the day after it.

Best regards
Sebastian

Thanks for the option! I'm sure that someone else might find it handy that was using the folder setup as I was.

I do however have one problem remaining. Fix one and another pops up :)

My Thread Icons are either showing up, not showing up or showing the entire sprite image. I think it's called a Thread Icon. Basically the icon next to the Thread Titles..

Hi steeler7,

you are missing these template-edits:

Code:

Template: threadlist.css

368d354

<    background-position: {vb:stylevar padding} 4px;

376,394d361

<    .threadbit .threadstatus { background-image: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/thread_old-30.png); }

<    .threadbit.dot .threadstatus { background-image: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/thread_dot-30-{vb:stylevar right}.png); }

<    .threadbit.dot.hot .threadstatus { background-image: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/thread_dot_hot-30-{vb:stylevar right}.png); }

<    .threadbit.dot.hot.lock .threadstatus { background-image: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/thread_dot_hot_lock-30-{vb:stylevar right}.png); }

<    .threadbit.dot.hot.lock.new .threadstatus { background-image: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/thread_dot_hot_lock_new-30-{vb:stylevar right}.png); }

<    .threadbit.dot.hot.new .threadstatus { background-image: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/thread_dot_hot_new-30-{vb:stylevar right}.png); }

<    .threadbit.hot.lock.new .threadstatus { background-image: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/thread_hot_lock_new-30.png); }

<    .threadbit.hot.new .threadstatus { background-image: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/thread_hot_new-30.png); }

<    .threadbit.lock .threadstatus { background-image: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/thread_lock-30.png); }

<    .new .threadstatus { background-image: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/thread_new-30.png); }

396d362

<    background: url({vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/thread_deleted_30-{vb:stylevar right}.png) no-repeat {vb:stylevar padding} 4px;

These definitions overwrites the background-definition used by the sprites, thats why it isnt shown correctly. So please remove these definitons.

You should refresh the page after hitting refresh in the admincp for the mod, you saying after a while sounds like browser caching. It might have been working fine the whole time you just never reloaded the images.

I did do that...I also cleared my cache and opened a new browser (opera) just to see. I'm not sure why it did that.

Thank u though.
