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:

Beyond the current bug where thread sprites aren't showing up, everything else should work. |

Using sprites, are not easy for the average user to actually modify the images and change things.
We didn't think it was something we wanted to push in vB4 at the time of release (3 years ago almost now). |

I think, that may be offered as an option. Who want to use sprites plugin, active it on plugin & product.

You can probably fix this manually.
Edit threadbit - template It begins with: Code:
<li class="threadbit {vb:raw thread.statusstring}<vb:if condition="$show['paperclip']">.... Code:
<li class="sprite_statusicon_thread_30 threadbit {vb:raw thread.statusstring}<vb:if condition="$show['paperclip']">... |

Well, if the template changed, can't you just modify the search and replace for it in TMS?

I think that will be the better solution, but ultimately this addon needs to be updated for the same for it to be fully compatible with vb 4.1.11+ otherwise every user, who downloads and installs will have to do it

Yes, that's a "quick fix" because for some reason even though that particular modification line is active its status is not checked so it's not applied and I couldn't find a reason for that.
ps. there's another similar thing with search_threadbit template. That string is active, but status is not checked -> doesn't work which means that getdaily results are missing that status icon also. An another one: memberaction_dropdown: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=498 Edit: as fly said it above .. the reason is obvious - if the original template has changed TMS can't modify that template because the search string doesn't match (sorry if this conclusion is obvious I'm just learning how TMS and this mod works ). So I guess, somebody needs to update this mod to be fully compatible with the latest vB - remember... keeping vB "up-to-date" is important for security reasons. vBulletin should make this mod a core feature. |
