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:

Hello datoneer,
addon will create a new stylevar named imgdir_sprite. If you didnt changed your stylevars until now, the default value (images/sprites) should be ok for you. Also in most cases this folder is already writeable if this isn't the case or another error occurs, the addon will tell it you during the creation/refresh of the sprites. Best regards Sebastian |

Status update:
We have added a lot icons for 0.8.0 but there are still 15 images left which we want to add. Since we are currently in cologne at the gamescom, there won't be much support until monday and 0.8.0 won't be released before the next weekend. |

Hello Osbes, i am very interested on this mod and personally i think you did a great job (congratulations for such great solution), but before installing it i have some questions:
I run on my forum the following mods and i would like to ask if there's any known issue between them and yours: DownloadsII DownloadsII Create Thread iTrader Members who have Visited More Share Options for VB4 by BOP5 Most popular downloads SevenSkins Image Resizer Tabs en vBulletin 4.x vBSEO I have disabled the CMS also due as homepage we are running Wordpress with our own Style (you can check it at http://www.onlinewebmarket.net/forum.php)... so from the moment i would avoid installing TMS i have also another question: are you eventually available for installing your mod on my board and editing all templates manually (for a paid fee of course)?. Thanks in advance for your reply and sorry for boring so much with all these questions Lol.- |

Hi guys, I haven't understood it at all. Do I need to change EVERYTHING that it is shown in TEMPLATE_CHANGES.diff or only the code under the ## Version 0.7.1 ## tag?
Thanks in advance. |

@masterweb
We are running DownloadsII, Sevenskin Image Resizer, vBseo, v3arcade, vbExperience and there are no conflicts. Most likely there won't be any conflicts with the rest of them either. @Seductor Everything in Template_changes.diff needs to be changed. If you are using the TMS those changes will be done automatically during installation. @apaydin2148 The latest TMS Version does work with vB4. For TMS Support please ask in the TMS mod topic. Regards Mooff |

It works, King.
By the way, Moof, I sugges to add this: Template: forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost < <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" alt="" title="{vb:rawphrase collapse_this_category}" /> --- > (I don't know what It should be here). |

@Seductor
That icon has a javascript attached to it (to collapse the categories). Replacing the icon would mean modifing the javascript aswell, which in this case is pretty ugly, so we won't add that icon. |
