United-Forum CSS Sprites - ludicrous speed - NOW!
Developer Last Online: Feb 2013
tl;dr Makes your forum faster.
Want an easy one-click installation for this addon? . Vote for this jira-entry Add on currently is in beta stage When visiting a website, speed is a very important factor not only for users but crawlers as well. Long loading times are a nuisance since your time is basically wasted during the waiting period. Hence, we are trying everything we can in order to speed up our site. One great way to improve loading times is by the use of css sprites. Unfortunately these are not implemented by vBulletin. We therefore decided to develop our own css-sprite add on for vBulletin boards and want to share this code with the worldwide vBulletin community. Live demo The add on is permanently running in our vBulletin board ( > 2.000.000 posts), take a look:vBulletin performance using css sprites Our tests are based on version 0.7.0. We used the analytic tools firebug network utility and the googlelabs.com page speed sitecss sprites - what are they? The intention behind css sprites is the bundling of many small graphics into one large graphic in order to decrease the number of required http requests. This shortens the loading times of the given website. In addition, the the accumulated size of all small graphics is higher than the size of the sprite due to reasons of compression.What is the gain in using css sprites? Aside from the technical implementation, the question on how much one actually does gain by using css sprites is of the most interest. Obviously they decrease loading times - but how important are small loading times and what is the impact on vBulletin overall loading times?Add on features In the current released beta version 0.7.2, sprites are available for FORUMHOME and FORUMDISPLAY. Coming up next SHOWTHREAD.Installation First of all, if you didnt want to change the templates manually, install the Template Modification System (TMS). Now proceed with the installation:

@tmiland
have you made the template changes? @doctorsexy No limit, can you show me the exact code you are using for the custom icon right now + the names of two icons you want to add? (i think the code changed in 0.8.0 that's why i'm asking, so i can't compare it to our version) |

@tmiland
Can you try to reinstall the addon and check for error messages during the installation? And can you check if the sprite changes are in your templates? (check the template code, look for css classed named sprite_ ) @doctorsexy The last item in an php array is not supposed to have a comma, change your code to: Code:
$files[] = array( 'path' => $stylevars['imgdir_siteicons']['imagedir'] . '/whobar.png', 'css' => 'siteicons_whobar', 'rollup' => $CSS_FORUMHOME_ROLLUP ); |

Error occurred: Your sprite folder uses an URL. Sprites cannot be saved via URLs. Please use an local filepath on your system for the stylevar imgdir_sprite." I am serving all my images from images.mydomain.net, obviously that is not working :P |
