What it says on the tin, this little mod allows you to add an Advent Calendar to your forum.
The original code was done by the guy at this site: http://www.wait-till-i.com/index.php?p=191
I just cleaned it up to vB standards and made it into a template.
You need to add a link to it in your navbar yourself, there's no instructions with the hack.
You upload the files, you import the product, and its done.
By default it works for December but if you live in some weird place where you celebrate Christmas in July then you can config this in the vBulletin Settings.

Are you able to change the pictures behind the boxes when it's the actual day or does it do this automatically when you open it on the day?
Thanks

Same question here... I would love to put some Flash oder other Videofiles behind the doors. Is this possible? I only see pictures into the downloaded file...

If i understeand you right, all you have to do is make a link in the navbar fex.
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="advent.php$session[sessionurl]">AdventCalender</a></td>

You can edit the window. fex write a question ore give away a picture.
In the window number one fex, you just edit the original picture to what you want.
