Brilliant hack, very nice.

[TrueDeath]

Space reserved for FAQ

[johnny713]

Let me give it a try :D, thank you. Installed :D

[funkmeister]

Do they work with Safari or Firefox on the Mac? Can anyone confirm - thanks?

[GoTTi]

you need to upload the season folder to your /forums/ folder. add that to your install file.

also is there a way to make it where there are more falling items? maybe a dump every XX seconds or something?

[Shazz]

Service Unavailable
lmao

[TrueDeath]

Service Unavailable
lmao

In process of moving servers, dont worry about my site atm :P

[vspro]

thax you so much it very nice i intall now

[Shazz]

/me installs

[free2saute]

Thanks will give it a try i am a noob @ this never the less nice to have....:classic:install

[PossumX]

Damn nifty, if I do say so.

>>Clicks Install<<

Now to dabble and figure some custom items for my forum topic line...

[Shazz]

Really lags forum and sucks up the bandwith -.-

[TrueDeath]

Really lags forum and sucks up the bandwith -.-

Its no differant than any other of the 'snow effect' scripts.

[snobird1211]

thanks installing now cant wait
only the snow flakes fall hosts bat etc dont work they only stand still in top left corner

and is their a way to make it go the lebgth of the page insteaad of just top

[JamieLee2k]

I can't get it to work, I have put all the images into forum/ folder and uploaded the xml file, made 2 template edits and turn it on, what can be more simplier, but ohhhh no it just doesn't wanna work.

Upload the season FOLDER to your forum home directory.

[rebelos]

Flakes didnt goes all over the length of the page. Dissapeared in the middle of the screen

<installed>

[TrueDeath]

Updated zip file so people can understand what to do easier.

[TrueDeath]

Flakes didnt goes all over the length of the page. Dissapeared in the middle of the screen

<installed>

In the season folder you will find a list of javascript files named 1 - 10.

Open 1/2 (depending if your using large / small flakes) and find:
var i, doc_width = 800, doc_height = 600;
and change the height to what you want to use.

Each script corresponds with the following:
0|Snow pixels
1|Snow Large Flake
2|Snow Small Flake
3|Bats
4|Ghosts
5|Witches
6|Fireworks Pixel
7|Fireworks Pixel 2
8|Fireworks Animation
9|Hearts
10|Heart Hug

[rebelos]

i change it but nothing new

[ChurchMedia]

At first I thought my users would think it was kind of tacky, but they absolutely love the snowflakes! Thanks for the very cool hack!

I'd like to see a "Register Now" graphic. That would be a good way to get guest's attention on the forum home page.

Happy Holidays! :)

[rebelos]

any other tip to snowing at whole length with big flakes ??

[Shazz]

What did the updated do?

[thelittleguy]

<font color="Red">not to be a pain but I added it to my board fist I loaded it to the directory turned it on ....nothing so I removed the files then re uploaded the season files to the FORUMS folder and yet again nothin any ideas ? </font>

[TrueDeath]

not to be a pain but I added it to my board fist I loaded it to the directory turned it on ....nothing so I removed the files then re uploaded the season files to the FORUMS folder and yet again nothin any ideas ?

make sure its the season FOLDER you have uploaded, not just the files inside.

so it will be:
forum/season/0.js
ect.

What did the updated do?
Updated zip file so people can understand what to do easier.

[Shazz]

Then people that have it installed don't need to fix anything. Ok cool :)

[blazingpc]

INSTALLED!

My members think its cool and its a nice touch for the holidays.

I haven't noticed any performance change after the install forum still runs top notch.

[JamieLee2k]

So now it works, Is there a way to increase the amount of snow? maybe add a blizzard or maybe a santa and his raindeers going across the screen from time to time.

[d8tabyte]

I am getting this in the admin CP

Seasonal Effect
Choose the seasonal effect do you want to use
select:piped 0|Snow pixels 1|Snow Large Flake 2|Snow Small Flake 3|Bats 4|Ghosts 5|Witches 6|Fireworks Pixel 7|Fireworks Pixel 2 8|Fireworks Animation 9|Hearts 10|Heart Hug

no drop down.. I have uninstalled and reinstalled product....

[gonkowonko]

how do u add more thing for example i would like to make one for stars fallen how would i do that?

[cunder]

thanks
works well but only bats end fireworks pixel2 that do not works well with firefox

[xfaethorx]

i've tried to increase the heights but to now avail..is it working out the size from the drawn window?

[sezmar]

Works nice, just what I was looking for!

[Shazz]

Its no differant than any other of the 'snow effect' scripts.

I guess they all suck it up :confused:

[litfoo]

works brilliantly!

Many thanks!

[ICY ICE]

Awesome mod, thanks for the hard work.

www.valleyscuba.com/forum

[jacki]

thank you. Installed :D

[buurman]

Thx, *CLICKs INSTALL* nice mod, and easy!

What do I have to edit to get the snow only on my CMPS Advanced Homepage, like a extra option?

Thx!

[h_kakashi]

very nice thank you :)

However be careul with the amount of content ont he screen it is processor intensive (client side)

Simply add

<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->

to the CMPS Homepage template, and remove it from 'FORUMHOME' template.

[kfiasche81]

Snow Large Flake not display on full page! why?

[Foxsake]

I am getting this in the admin CP

Seasonal Effect
Choose the seasonal effect do you want to use
select:piped 0|Snow pixels 1|Snow Large Flake 2|Snow Small Flake 3|Bats 4|Ghosts 5|Witches 6|Fireworks Pixel 7|Fireworks Pixel 2 8|Fireworks Animation 9|Hearts 10|Heart Hug

no drop down.. I have uninstalled and reinstalled product....

I get this also?:confused:

[xfaethorx]

if you change the height option in the scripts it will snow down the full screen on I.E but not on firefox , anyone know how to change the settings in the scripts for firefox to match that of I.E?

I think firefox is working out the snow fall from the size of the screen and not the size of the page so when you scroll down it is only snowing for the number of pixels in the inital draw of the browser window. Anyone savvy enough with these scripts to rectify that?

[Shazz]

Lags a ton in forum area =\

[alawee.blawee]

Extraordinary Fabiulous Fantastic

[xfaethorx]

Lags a ton in forum area =\

haven't you complained about that already in this thread? I have it running on my board and its made little to no difference on the board processing.

Not for nothing but if you don't like the hack then don't use it and let other people make their minds up about it. That or propose a way to "speed" the code for yourself, propose an alternative hack or try to give people enough information so that they can help you to fix the your problem.

[ecansel]

Thankyou very much working perfect.. Installed

Make a custom template
Hook it up to your vBadvanced
Then place the code that was givin above..
it should work
Ive tried it in all mine and it did the same

[Q139]

Beduino

I edited the location of the java scripts

<script type="text/javascript" src="/forum/season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>

and edited the location of the image files in the java scripts

var snowsrc="/forum/season/ghost/snow2.gif"

or you could place another season folder in you adv_portal directory...

[TrueDeath]

A goooood question.
I try in adv_portal and don't works :(

Beduino

Upload the Season folder to the root directory (as said above),

I didnt realize as i usually work by using vBulletin as my root + changing index to forums.php.

But yeh then it should work :).

[blogtorank]

This is one kick ass addon!!!!!!!! Works perfect for me in all browsers IE, FF, Opera, Konqueror.. Does NOT hog my bandwidth NOR does it lag. Great hack man!

[haris_led]

This is a very good hack, and i combined it with a user profile field :)
From now on, my users can enable, or disable it :)

But i had the same problem with some other guys, that said that in firefox (and opera) the snowflakes(and the hearts, etc) dissapear quickly, and they do not drop down to the end of the page.

I did change the 2.js file (for small snowflakes) to 1000 pixels, but there was no difference :(

Although, in IE this works fine, to the end of the page.

Any solution?
Thanks again :)

Would you mind sharing your idea on how you did the enable or disable here in the user profile field, if you don't mind.. :chinese:

[haris_led]

Would you mind sharing your idea on how you did the enable or disable here in the user profile field, if you don't mind.. :chinese:

Of course :)

Before making the template edits, do theese:
1) AdminCP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field
2) Choose "Single Selection Radio Buttons"
3) Fill in all required fields and insert two values in the Options Box: (seperated with a return)
YES
NO
4) Set "Default" to YES
5) Hit "Save" and memorize the name of your field, in my case it's "field8".
6) Now, instead of adding
<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 0">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->
at the top of the header, add this:
<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldX']=='YES'">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 0">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
</if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->
7)Also, instead of adding
<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->
in forumhome, add this:
<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldX']=='YES'">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
</if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->
You should replace the fieldX to the one specified on step 5 :)

Known bug: If i set from acp the default to YES, it does not show the snowflakes, but my users, must set it to yes from user cp, and save, to see them. Any ideas to make it working for all users, without having to enable it for the first time?

[alawee.blawee]

man can i ask you if you faced some problems installing this hack?

coz the shapes sometimes go out from the screen and create a bar down the page destroying the fixed width

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

[ukDesign]

great hack thanks.

Any chance this works with VB 3.5.x ?

Of course :)

You could always run a mysql query to update the field to yes for every user rather than it being empty.

Yes it should work in 3.5.x

Sir

I applyed your hack but I'm having a problem with the page size

Nice hack,....I installed it......works great....I dont see a installed button here

The forums have nothing to do with your page breaking. Do you have a banner? Looks to me like your banner size needs to be changed.

Im not sure why this is happening,

Can you send me a copy of the hacks you have installed via pm.

[JamieLee2k]

There is an issue with Firefox and this effect, Can you please try and fix this problem, It goes down half the screen on a 1024x768 or a full screen at 1200x1024

i noticed that aswell i thought it was just because of my flashbox but then i read your post and seen it worked on IE7 fully

already did

deleted the banner even:D

and i have the same problem

[UNRE4L]

I really liked this, but it only works properly in firefox for me.

In IE 7 the snow is laggy and doesnt flow, it also only sends one lot of snow down :S

[blind-eddie]

Wow this uses alot of bandwidth.......

EDIT: This does NOT use alot of bandwidth.......

[TheWhite]

Great work man, some themes ca be eliminated cause they really don't do much other then that cheers dude!!!!! ;)

Great work, you can view it here for those that need an example.

[R34GTT]

I have installed this. Works perfectly.

Although I did have a handful of users complaining it slowed down there computers to much. I would say around 15% of users complained. (I did a poll about it)

I have now only put it on the Forumhome not the whole forum.

[winpro19]

Hello
Great hack, no lagging or anything for me. One question though...is there any way I can make it so it randomly picks one javascript out of all those? I want to make it random...so it changes everytime...snowflakes sometimes..witches...bats..etc...possible?
Thanks

[Deimos]

Works brilliantly on my forum
www.uoforums.com

Many thanks!

[fishhub]

can this work for 3.5.4? TIA

[ShackMaster]

The zip file does not include the product xml file?

product-guidevb_bgcolor.xml

???

EDIT: Okay... the instructions say to upload "product-guidevb_bgcolor.xml" ... actually it probably should read "import vbgseason.xml".

[sinanmoda]

Thank you its great hack. How can I use only one ghost or snow? I want it to be seen only one...

Many Thanks...

[TheWhite]

cool

[richTV]

thank you. :)

Hi.

I'm having trouble getting this to run at all.

v3.6.4, Kartel Fluid style

1) vbgseason.xml installed

AdminCP / Plugins & Products / Manage Products / Add/Import Product

also set it to "allow overwrite" and then clicked Import

verified its listing in the Installed Products
verified its listing in the vBulletin Options / vBGuides: Season Effects

2) uploaded season FOLDER to my directory :

/html/[I]forum_name/forum/
where forum_name is just an example of the actual name of my site

resulting in,

/html/forum_name/forum/season/

3) Styles & Templates / Style Manager / Kartel Fluid / Edit Templates / header

and added the code for it at the very top of header:

and then clicked on Save & Reload

5) went to vBulletin Options and then enabled it there.

saw no change to the forum so i logged out and cleared my cache and then logged back in but still didn't change.

can u tell me where i might have erred?

[Doc.Blade]

This is a great Mod, i really like it, have it installed!

I do have a couple of requests for any possible future updates to this mod though.


Would it be possible to get it so you can upload your own pics? ( i know i can rename other pics and replace the ones there, but for adding more, etc)
Would it be possible to get it so you can select more than one image to show at a time? (for example, the witch, the ghost and the bat all at the same time on the screen)


If this would be possible, awesome! If not, no problems.

Cheers again for the great mod!

Doc.

[masterme]

And here another install!

With some gifs it loads a bit strange. They show on top as it (slowly) loads the page. After that they fall as they should. Can be slow for users with low speed, but tha again, how long do you use it anyway?

Nice one, thanx!

[Shazz]

Whats the next holiday we could use this for?

[TrueDeath]

Whats the next holiday we could use this for?

Valentines :P

[Necrosaro420]

great work man =)

[Tralala]

Do they work with Safari or Firefox on the Mac? Can anyone confirm - thanks?

I installed this evening on a Mac, and can confirm it works with: Safari, Camino, and Firefox.

/clicks install

Thanks for the great hack!

[Sofia]

Hey, very funny ^^

Thanks :)

[Tralala]

Of course :)

Before making the template edits, do theese:
1) AdminCP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field
2) Choose "Single Selection Radio Buttons"

<...snip...>

Known bug: If i set from acp the default to YES, it does not show the snowflakes, but my users, must set it to yes from user cp, and save, to see them. Any ideas to make it working for all users, without having to enable it for the first time?

Perhaps it's got something to do with using Radio buttons... or the way you coded the IF statement to look for "YES" (rather than "not NO")

...but when I used the method Q139 linked to, it seems to work fine:

I used the method posted here to let the members turn it off and on...works perfectly....

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99991

Look below "Few addons for this modification."

:up:


I thought adding these effects "Globally" would be a bit too much. And yet adding them only to Forum Home wasn't enough! So I also added the same code to FORUMDISPLAY template so the Seasonal Effects will show there. I edited the XML script so my new options in Admin CP are:

Global (Everywhere)
Forum Home and Forum Display

I'll enable it for Valentine's Day and see what my users think. If they don't like it they can always turn it off in their User CP.

[WEBDosser]

way cool addon..

[Mudvayne]

Is to possible to use multiple image in one effect? Can you make it for me?

[Tralala]

I see images included with the download for (Uncle) "sam" and "easter" ... but there's no pulldown in the AdminCP to choose these. Why not?

I know I can manually rename them to use them but it'd be nice if there was a pulldown choice for every pic there. Or make it easily customizable so we can add our own.

[WEBDosser]

in IE the images fall all the way down even when you scroll down the page.. with FF they do not they seem to remember where the bottom of the page was and end there, and when you scroll down they do not appear?..

[Zia]

nice..is there any way to use "random image" at a time...
i would like to use 10-15 image..randomly falling from the top...

Thnx in Advance.

[mamashid]

Is working like a charm and the members love it!!
However I am getting this message when trying to post. I can't make any posts!!!

Mardi Gras - February

St. Patrick's Day - March

Easter - April

Anyone modified this for the next 2 major holidays coming up?

[Feckie (Roger)]

What would make this an Excellent addon, Would be the
ability to select which Style To add Which Season To.

So Once you have set it you don't have to manualy add it

Just A Thought

[TrueDeath]

Hack Updated:
Uncle Sam
Easter Basket
Green Clover

[Shazz]

What day is Uncle Sams day?

[TrueDeath]

What day is Uncle Sams day?

Independence Day i think, i was asked to include it.

[Tralala]

Or President's Day, maybe?
(which is Monday)

Nah, Abe Lincoln would be better for that. :D

[Tralala]

Green Clover

Here's a nice one for that, too:

http://images.elouai.com/images/yahoo/41.gif

[storpappa]

Update installed - thanks

[Tralala]

Latest update is incomplete... it is missing 13.js in the "season" folder, and therefore the Green Clover choice won't work.

I created one in the meantime...

Just replace the folders/files with the on currently in your FTP
Overwrite the plugin in admincp

opps i missed a step, got ahead of myself...hehe

[deezelpope]

OMG!!! Is this ever cute!!! *INSTALLED!* Thanks bunches!!

[titorevolu]

thanks I was looking for this a long time

[GateKeper]

Will this work on version 3.6.5 ? Sorry new to this and not sure yet what I can or cannot upload, if it don't say the same as my version, I usually don't try them out.

Thanks.

and if so where is this located "Upload the season folder to your forum directory" whre is forum directory, I don't see one, running 3.6.5

sorry for the noob question, still learning.

[richTV]

works fine, tnx!

@TrueDeath, i couldn't get the clover to work until i added the 13.js which Tralala was kind enough to share.

could u please update your .zip install file so that it includes this?

might save time for anyone else installing this. :)

tnx again for this product.

working fine in vB 3.6.5

[rooney72]

Installed but not working.

Can you tell me where to install code in header. I'm suspecting that I've pasted somewhere else. I'm clicking on STyle Manager into common templates where there is header, headinclude & footer

Done :)

[AuroraStorm]

Can't wait to try this one...

[USAMustangs.com]

installed.

[AuroraStorm]

Only showed on the top half of the page, most of the images didn't work...

[txsbmw]

Anyone know how I would go about using this cool fireworks display?

http://www.jsfx.com/submitscripts/fireworks/fireworksImageTravel/fw13.html

[txsbmw]

Actually nevermind, I figured out how to use that and several other ones they have.

[Tralala]

There's a bug in this, FWIW. If this is installed and enabled, and the user clicks around on ForumDisplay, occasionally they are taken to this site:

http://dynamicdrive.com/

I see this URL is listed in some, but not all of the javascript files uploaded to make this work.

Why is that URL included, and is there a way to remove it?

[almightyone]

the javascript code must be from dynamicdrive thats why their url is there

[newtsys]

thanks this is awsome addition..

[SuperTaz]

Installed. Thank you

[habasabi]

Installed.. thanks!!!

Now is there any reason the bats & ghosts don't work? I'm running vB3.6.8 & FireFox... does that make a diff?

[l2-inferno]

[hellbringer80]

I'm using 3.6.5 bats & ghosts are not working, I'd like to have them for halloween =[, please fix this asap! If I do see anything in the next day I will fix it and post a fix for everyone.

Are any of the options working for you or is it just them two?

[Shazz]

I enjoyed the hack, it lagged the site alot though and had to remove it. Thanks

5 star mod

[tigrattack]

I can't get the bats or ghosts to work properly with Firefox either.

What I did to substitute was: rename the ghost1.gif to easter.gif
(I also reduced the image to half it's size)

Then open the 12.js script and change:

var no = 10;

10 represents the number of images on the screen, I changed it to 3.

also change:

setTimeout("snowIE_NS6()", 10);

10 represents the speed, I changed mine to 25 to slow them down a bit.


Re-upload the editted files, then in ACP choose Easter Basket as the Seasonal Effect.



It's a primative way to do it, but it serves it's purpose. :p

[towermatt]

I thought about doing this one just for halloween but it seems kind of glitchy from reading this thread. Anyone have success on 3.6.5?

[tigrattack]

Works fine with 3.6.5 with IE, but has a problem with Firefox.

As I can see...the issue isn't with the vb version, it's a browser issue.

[towermatt]

Thanks tigrattack--I think most of mine use firefox so I am worried about that one. I guess I could throw it on in the middle of the night and see what happens.

[bazzup]

I have the witches working but not the other two halloween ones in any browser so witches it is lol

[ezurick]

I enjoyed the hack, it lagged the site alot though and had to remove it. Thanks

5 star mod

Ya know... this about your 4th or 5th complaint about lagging... no one else is complaining and I installed it and it is working flawlessly... Perhaps you need to rethink your forum setup because it is not this plugin...

I do wish there were more options, or a way to easily install more....

[TrueDeath]

Thanks tigrattack--I think most of mine use firefox so I am worried about that one. I guess I could throw it on in the middle of the night and see what happens.

You could always throw a browser IF conditional in I suppose, or even just test how it works on your forum with firefox as when I was testing it did work fine on FF.

[tigrattack]

Have you adjusted any of your browser settings from the default?

I've tried a few combinations, but cannot get it to work with FF.

I'm not a coder, I only manipulate the codes.

[stan111]

Great work, you can view it here for those that need an example.
http://www.clanlife.eu (http://www.clanlife.eu/forums/index.php)

i wonder wat top 5 stat you using ?
it loook awsome

[alexchairman]

Thankyou for this mod. i like so much !!!

[towermatt]

I have the witches working but not the other two halloween ones in any browser so witches it is lol

This is the only one that seems to work for me as well. The only problem it causes a weird thing when opening the browser in IE

It's a very quick bunch of witches across the top kind of bumping back and forth. :(

The ghosts work in IE, not firefox--just an image in the upper right.

same with bats

[JWL]

It appears even the author of the Ghost Script has issues and dropped NS or FF support

This script moves images randomly around the screen, appearing and dissapearing as they go. In IE4+ they fade in and out. (They would fade in NS6 too if it didn't keep crashing. I took the fade out for NS6)

http://www.javascript-fx.com/page_anim/index.html

Bummer

[towermatt]

Well that is a suck.

My members like the witches so I guess that is enough to keep it but those ghosts were very cool when viewing in IE

Wished they worked.

[silver surfer]

thnx, mate !!! works ALMOST well...only the ghosts and bat dont move...but i can live with...and i have seen that on firefox some dont work :(...other than that its a great mod !!!

cheers

[JWL]

Well that is a suck.

My members like the witches so I guess that is enough to keep it but those ghosts were very cool when viewing in IE

Wished they worked.


Well Not really, It has to be something in the way the Script is set up

On the site FX site were the code comes from here is a demo that runs the Java Script and it works under FireFox

http://www.javascript-fx.com/scriptclips/halloween2/demo2.html

So it has to be in the way it is called. I do not know enough about programing to figure it out

[towermatt]

I meant a suck for me that I don't know anything about it or how to fix it.

Not that it itself sucked :D

[Poltergiest]

I found if you select 'witch' and then change the name of the picture you want to use to witch you can use any picture and will work with FF and IE. But the ghost will not do the fade/change thing doing it this way.

Wish I knew how to code to fix this, it's a great mod.

[powerful_rogue]

This is a great mod.

Its just a shame the ghosts dont work as they look fantastic. Would be great if the author or someone else managed to evolve this script.

[slosupra]

mods messes with i.e. Clicks uninstall

[deezelpope]

The ghosts work fine for me...:confused:

[towermatt]

The work great in IE, just not in Firefox as far as I know.

[mystic10]

[ezurick]

+1 on Thanksgiving effect... Please.

Ok folks... since there is no response for Thanksgiving support... I suppose the author got busy with something else... Here is a quick fix for Thanksgiving!!!

Do this!

Right click on this gif image on my website and save it!

http://www.smclassified.com/forum/season/ghost/sam.gif

Backup your old sam.gif under your season/ghost folder and replace it with this one...

Then set the season to Uncle Sam... Presto!

--------------------------------------------------
You could replace any of the icons... but I chose the sam.gif.

To make the gif....

I had to lasso the turkey in Photoshop and place it in a transparent 34x32 image and save it as a .gif. You can do this with just about any image!

I am gonna do this with Santa in a sleigh or something... since there is only snow flakes for Christmas...

Enjoy! :D

How exactly do I do this...and where is the forum directory?
Are we talking ftp or via ACP?

Many Thanks.

Upload product-guidevb_bgcolor.xml - via the ACP (products and plugins // manage products // add new product)

Upload the season folder to your forum directory - Upload via FTP. The forum directory is where all your vbulletin files were uploaded when you first installed.

[Allnick]

Many thanks powerful_rogue,
Installed with no problems:up:

Two Bug I've Found in vBulletin 3.6.7 PL1!! :(

The "Forum Home" option don't Work!! :confused: Only the Global (Everywhere) Option Works!! :(

The "Fireworks Pixel 2", take in many cases a width Larger that the Window Width, so the Explosions of the Fireworks Don't Show!! :(

Two Questions:

-1- Is there a Way to Limit the Width of the Explosions so that they Fit Inside the Window all Times?? :confused:

What Code Should I Replace on the Scripts?? :confused:

-2- How can I Limit the Drop of the Snow Flakes to the Top of the Page (some amount of Pixels, perhaps 200 or 300), so that the don't have to Fall to the Bottom of the Page (some of my Pages are very Large, so the Flaked would look better only Falling in the Top of the Page)?? :confused:

What Code Should I Replace on the Scripts?? :confused:

My Best Regards!! ;)

Very Nice.....INSTALLED

Suggestion: what about turkeys for thanksgiving????

[sandbender]

This is REALLY cool. The first time I've seen snow in years...

However, one of my members is blind and uses a voice reader which bleeps when I turn on the snow. I was hoping it was just the larger snowflakes that hit the side of the frame and make it jump a bit, but it seems it's hitting the text that does her wrong. I don't really understand how that's happening, because the snowflakes don't reach the chatbox in Firefox... Any ideas?

I'll put in a user conditional for her, but thought you might like to know about this possible glitch.

Ummm... you apparently missed this a few pages back... helps to read the latest before you post and ask... it's annoying to waste more pages on the same subject... Also, Thanksgiving has gone and passed here. Where are you Pluto? ;)

[ymy]

This hack will be nice if it work auto by date to add seasonal effects
just choose date for seasonal effects.

Nice hack!

Only problem seems to be with Firefox. I know this has been mentioned several times already but while the snow effects do display in FF they only seem to cover the immediate Window. If you scroll down they don't go further.

Has anyone been able to find a solution for this?

[ericgray]

this mod is officially f*cked up --

-- the only thing that works is the small pixels, and the ghosts.

what a mess.

Yes, ensure that on every styles template "header", you add this code to the very top: ;)

<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 0">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->

If you cannot get the mod to work on your forumhome, then simply add this code to the "forumhome" template above "$header":

<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 0">
<script type="text/javascript" src="/season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->

In addition, to get it to view on other mods such as IbProArcade (the homepage) add the code above to the template concerned above the "$header" code :)

[Lifesupporters]

I'd love to use this effect but it's a nightmare in Firefox. Not only does in not scroll to the bottom of the page (as mentioned many times already) but it also flickers the bottom scroll bar as well which gets annoying fast to my members.

Can someone please, please, please provide a concrete solution that actually works in Firefox?

Many thanks.

well, im officially stumped...tried all that, ensured my code was placed correctly...shows everywhere but on the CMPS homepage. Shows on forums home page, arcade...everywhere else

Is there any way to extend the animation display for this mod? What I mean is, on my forum (http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/), the animation only appears over the first (top) 1/4 of the forum home. As you scroll down, the animation dies out instead of extending itself to the bottom (footer) of the page.

Is there a way to modify this or no?

Just a guess. Do you have it in your header template?

Try adding to your FORUMHOME template or to whatever template you wish it to show on.

I followed the instructions -- I am thinking it's a programming thing in the java files.

I have the following in my headers:

<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 0">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->

And the following in my forumhome templates:

<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->

Works fine with firefox for me. Try checking your FF JS settings....

well, im officially stumped...tried all that, ensured my code was placed correctly...shows everywhere but on the CMPS homepage. Shows on forums home page, arcade...everywhere else

Sounds to me that you need to provide a full URL to the JS file mate. In other words, for the code provided in each header template, change:

<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>

To this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.myforums.com/season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>

To recap, change all the instances of the above code to a full SRC. Check in your FTP browser to see where exactly the "season" folder is located. Then link to it as demonstrated above. Good Luck!

[Martell]

Thanks :up:

[Jimboj79]

excellent hack :) thanks

[|Jordan|]

Of course :)

Before making the template edits, do theese:
1) AdminCP -> User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field
2) Choose "Single Selection Radio Buttons"
3) Fill in all required fields and insert two values in the Options Box: (seperated with a return)
YES
NO
4) Set "Default" to YES
5) Hit "Save" and memorize the name of your field, in my case it's "field8".
6) Now, instead of adding
<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 0">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->
at the top of the header, add this:
<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldX']=='YES'">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 0">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
</if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->
7)Also, instead of adding
<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->
in forumhome, add this:
<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['fieldX']=='YES'">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_onoff] == 1">
<if condition="$vboptions[guidesvbs_area] == 1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="season/$vboptions[guidesvbs_type].js"></script>
</if></if>
</if>
<!-- End vBGuides Season -->
You should replace the fieldX to the one specified on step 5 :)

Known bug: If i set from acp the default to YES, it does not show the snowflakes, but my users, must set it to yes from user cp, and save, to see them. Any ideas to make it working for all users, without having to enable it for the first time?

You can force it enabled to all current users by executing the following command on your database:

UPDATE userfield SET fieldXX='YYYYY'
Where XX is the id of the field you added and YYYYY is the default option.

[|Jordan|]

Snowflakes only display for the first section of the page. When i scroll down, they dont drop below. Is it supposed to be like that?

[PepiMK]

The add-on description says "Uses plugins", but that's not true, vbgseason.xml has no plugins defined at all.

Since I prefer a plugin over template edits (minimum of additional load, I admit, but makes it much easier to update; or to apply when you've got a dozen styles), here's what I added to make the template change unnecessary:

Add a new plugin, for hook global_complete, with the following code:
if ($vbulletin->options['guidesvbs_onoff']==1)
{ if ($vbulletin->options['guidesvbs_area']==0)
$rplseason = "<body>";
else if ($vbulletin->options['guidesvbs_area']==1)
$rplseason = "<body>";
$tempseason = "<!-- Start vBGuides Season -->\n";
$tempseason .= '<script type="text/javascript" src="season/'.$vbulletin->options['guidesvbs_type'].'.js"></script>'."\n";
$tempseason .= "<!-- End vBGuides Season -->\n";
$output = str_replace($rplseason, $rplseason."\n".$tempseason, $output);
}

Btw, I see the same problem of snow flakes not falling when scrolling, that's why it's currently on my test forum and not on a live one yet.

(edit: small mistake in code above, no time to fix it immediately, was just a incentive to go plugin anyway ;) )

[|Jordan|]

I got both snow effects to scroll with the page (they go from top to bottom regardless if you scroll). I didn't make the code edits, just found them on a javascript site. I'm looking for other better javascripts for all the other effects.

Instructions: Extract the contents of the zip to your season folder.

[fattony69]

Does this kill the cpu and bandwidth?

[tekguru]

I know the option is in there to have the effects on the forum index page only, but for those of us running vBadvanced is there a way of showing them on that page only?

[masterme]

I have this nice mod now for a while, today updated it and still fine, but there is always a 'but'.
I use the small snowflake, but is there a way to make the snow fall a little bit more? Now I have 5/6 snowflakes falling reallys slow, but when I think of snow, I mean a little bit me than 5/6 flakes at a time on my screen.

[Confined]

is there one for christmas holidays?

Yes, as with all of the effects, you just edit the corresponding javascript file.

To add more small snow, edit in "season\2.js" the line:

// Configure below to change number of snow to render
var no = 10;

Change 10 to however many snow flakes you want.

The variable differs in most of the javascripts, but its easily identifiable because there's usually a comment marking where to add more of something.

[imprezion]

I don't see the seasonal options when I goto vBulletin Options after I installed and uploaded.

anyone can tell me why?

thanks

[imprezion]

should I upload the product-guidevb_bgcolor.xml or vbseason.xml? thanks

[imprezion]

oops just got it working -) working on the forums..but not working on the vbAdvanced homepage. =(
I already added the codes to the template running on the homepage.

[m002.p]

Well thats no use as the code needs to be added to the "HEADER" Template to all the relevant styles ;)

[Chachacha]

This conflicts with the arcade.

[|Jordan|]

Which one? I have no problems with ibproarcade.

When someone is playing a game and a snowflake falls into the play screen, it messes it up.

[|Jordan|]

Snowflakes fall behind the game for me and dont affect the game in any way. I'm using firefox.

[m002.p]

Yes ^^^^ It shouldnt. Mine falls behind the game also ;)

[support2142]

Really lags forum and sucks up the bandwith -.-

Lags the serve?Based on personal experience this hack has not lagged the sever, unless you have a database server that offers free space. If you want a good website, upgrade or switch to a server that has plenty of space and bandwidth for the massive site you have. HaHaHa.

I'm only playing, but if you want to complain, give a reason that can be believable. This hack is so small it will not lag or reduce the performance of your website or server provider.

I have a couple complaints or suggestions, due to IE. I have a customized style, which your hack works perfect, but in default vBulletin style it doesn't show snowflakes properly. Many of my users agree that they see nothing, but X's in a box, dropping like rainfall. In IE under custom style the snowflakes are perfect, but in FireFox Browser there is never a problem with either styles.

Funny thing is, when I am in FireFox, the snowflakes are consistent in every style, but when viewing in Internet Explorer all styles are not consistent. Custom style in IE is perfect, but in vBullentin default style a snow flake shows up as a box with an X in the box. The box reacts as an raindrop on a window rather than a snowflake.

Any suggestions to my problem will be very appreciated. Thanks Brad

[|Jordan|]

It can't lag your site because it isin't server-side javascript; its client-side javascript. The only way it might lag certain user is because they have a dinosaur computer that can't handle movement on screen or a browser that can't fully parse the javascript.

[montsa007]

Installed :)

[Livingstrong]

I have been trying to upload it but it didn't work for me. I have 3.6.8 vBulletin version. D'ya guys think that this is the reason why it didn't work?

[Mudo]

when do you upgrade it.

[GuaRRand]

could you add a function that we can schedule the seasonal effects?
Most effects are for holidays... those holidays are already default in VBulletin calendar .. can you hook it up to that so it will automaticly load witches at haloween, hearts at valentine's day, snow at the beginning of winter etc... (maybe a sun also for summer?)

[majordork82]

I just installed this today. I am totally illiterate when it comes to these things, but this was actually pretty easy.

I also figured out, as many of you said, that if you rename a gif to any of the names and replace them in the ghost folder you can have any image you want :)

[zombietom]

any new images for this --i would like a zombie face or something like that

[Antek]

Thx 4 this mod, works fine with vB 3.7.3 under IE and FF

[Shazz]

Only one disadvantage which is it really slows down the forum home.

I removed it after users complained of lag when it was running. Its a nice mod but sadly uses too many resources when its being displayed.

[andyv72]

Running under 3.7.4 First Class....

[RedDevil]

nice mod and installed.

One question, how do you make the flakes etc fall further down the forum, seems a very short level before they fade out.

[Soup^Dragon]

this was working fine last year but i have just enabled it again and it seems to have broken.

In Firefox it will not show on the cmps portal page, but it is ok on the forums.
In IE it works on the cmps page but the snow is just boxes with a red cross, again it is fine on the forums.
In chrome the snow is missing again and it leaves trails down the page of the cmps.

Any ideas??:confused:

[Soup^Dragon]

i fixed that by changing the js as in this post.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1401939&postcount=217

[Soup^Dragon]

its ok i fixed it.

just make the js var path to the pics explicit

open the js file and change var snowsrc="season/ghost/snow2.gif" to var snowsrc="http://www.myforum.com/season/ghost/snow2.gif"
