When you write the script into headinclude !!

[RobbieZ]

use this:

------------------------------
Open the FORUMHOME template

Find </head> add above:

Code:
<!-- Start Snowflake Code -->

[AzzidReign]

Great for the xmas season coming up :)

[The Smoking Gun]

Hello, thanks for sharing your work but when I opened the demo link to the dark page (didn't notice this on the blue background) and there seems to be an issue (in FF anyway) that the script is causing the horizontal scroll bar to flicker on and off as the snow falls even on a screen width of over 1800px!

No install for now! But liked the effect!

TSG!

[Brandon Sheley]

I don't like mdos like this, but I like how this one follows the mouse :)

[ricardoNJ]

Thank you!

Open snowstorm.js in an editing program and find this line >

var followMouse = true;

Change it to >

var followMouse = false;

Save and up it to your forum root.

[R-n-R]

Say, can anyone recommend a nice Christmas theme that would go with this mod?

[RedHacker]

How to I will decrease the speed of snow?

How to I will decrease the speed of snow?

Snow speed is determined by this value:

snowStorm.animationInterval = 33;


Theoretical "miliseconds per frame" measurement. 20 = fast + smooth, but high CPU use. 50 = more conservative, but slower

Search for it in your .js and play around with the number..

Not show this option....

[RobbieZ]

After checking the .js it seems the speed was never set in the download version in the first post.

My bad for you searching for something not there:

I have upped the new .js

The line you need to find is on 22

Change this variable of 33 to something different to control the speed.

*Note: I have not tested the .js merely supplied it. Uploading the .js and overwriting should suffice. If not simply revert!

[Palace55]

Works great for me! I am using it till christmas! Sense its so close, it is just perfect, thanks mate! Marked as installed. ;)

[killerkraft]

Great job.

Simple and useful.

[RedHacker]

I have mod cometchat and bounce the bar with this mod....

[S7rik3R]

Thanks just in time for Christmas

[ricardoNJ]

This mod made my forum very slow.....uninstalled

[ymam]

Great mod it's unfortunate that it does effect forum performance.
That being said does anyone know how to remove the exploding lights in the java script.
I really like the lights but, for the life of me cannot figure out how to remove exploding script without screwing it all up.
Suggestions?

[DieselTruck]

How do you add the Christmas lights ??

[nonspin]

to have it snow only on your index page

use

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'index'">
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/snowstorm.js"></script>
</if>

Do you have the .js file? I can download and look at it for you.

[TheLastSuperman]

It's a bonus widget, see the demo link and it's near the top so click it to view in another window ;)

http://www.schillmania.com/projects/snowstorm/lights/index.html

The author of this mod showed you how to do the snow, the lights will be similar, the author left the lights as optional per you checking out the demo page and seeing what you want to install, you can do each separately or both at the same time as they intended you to have those options by the demo too :D. It might slow you down slightly.. I recommend only placing this on Forum Home.. do not place in your header/navbar/footer because it will be loading on every single page which is too much imo.

[majorj0nny]

how do you stop this from freezing when you click the screen ? it seems to be doing something as planned as if you click outside of the site main page border the snow starts again.

but I dont want it to freeze at all ... ?

i can see how to make it freeze using various commands - but cant see any mention of disabling freezing.

[interium]

Is it posible to make it snow only on the header? And the snow sticks even on false when I use bottomflakes 200;

[SilabGarza]

is there a way to make people choose whether the snow appears or not?

getting complaints that there lagging because of it >.>

[Mysterious2207]

I also need help with this.

[interium]

I had the same problem. I copied the theme and added snow on one of them. The members can now turn it on or off at the bottom of the page.

Simple solution.

[blogthea]

i really like the effect but
had to unistall due to lag complains

@ All of you ;)

Make a new publicly joinable usergroup but set all it's permissions to no and nothing at all can be done by it except showing certain content, go ahead give it a try!

How?

If the new usergroup number is 12

Place whatever you want to show to them within this code and anything you want to show to your normal members not in this group below the <else />

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 12)">

Your code here i.e. the code that displays the snow

<else />

The code for anyone that has not joined here OR nothing at all

</if>

Add more usergroups this way if you want it to show automatically to any additional usergroup no matter the code ;):

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 12,13,14)">

same as above

<else />

same as above

</if>

And now anyone can click this link:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/profile.php?do=editusergroups

And join that public usergroup to show the snow and or anything else your imagination whips up :D. You can also go back to that same page and leave the usergroup if for example you browse on an iphone or Blackberry and some mods make it hard to browse or not display right then when you get home you can leave the usergroup to display the forum with all it's perks for pc or mac use :p

You can replace the vb.org url part with yours so:

http://www.yoursite.com/forum/profile.php?do=editusergroups

Double check it then enjoy!

Simple IF you know where to look and this info is all around in these here parts now ya hear' :D

[steve1966]

thanks

[Reyn]

I installed it, but it didn't work in opera and firefox. I changed in snowstorm.js following line var usePNG = true; to var usePNG = false; and it worked.

[Miss Chatterbox]

Installed and loving it! Seems to be working fine in Firefox as well! :)

[profanitytalker]

I would like to reserve this for Christmas. xD

[Karm4]

Did anyone figure out how to get this to work with vbadvanced? If so post up the script!

[yotsume]

It works perfectly on VBA. On my site below I used a simple header and background to create a xmas theme to match the snow. I also added a live countdown to xmas and new years that shows a live time in days/hours/minutes/seconds until both events happen. ;)

www.globalschoolconnect.com (http://www.globalschoolconnect.com/)

At the bottom of my headinclude template I added this code so it would display on all pages. There is no need to do anything special for VBA to get it to work so long as the code is placed in your headinclude template. Note: I had to use a full url path to the snowflake.js for it to work.

Input your domain and any sub-folders needed to match your site in red.

<!-- Start Snowflake Code -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.your.domain.com/clientscript/snowflake.js"></script>
<!-- End Snowflake Code -->

[Karm4]

I did what you said and it doesnt show up on any of the pages now. Idk. Seems weird. I figured it would work just using it in the header but didnt work. I tried headinclude as well but now it doesnt load anywhere. Any ideas?

I must need more sleep my instructions are not for this mod but another one that I have installed! DOH!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=197312

I am using this one and it just works! Sorry!

[ni_hao]

This one is much better than the other one :D. In my opinion anyway :).

[yotsume]

How about random images falling on every page refresh! I just got help to gode that for the other MOD and will be releasing in in that thread!

Have a look at my site now: http://www.globalschoolconnect.com/

Refresh the page and get a new random image each time! I can put unlimited list of images and even animated gifs for real effects!

[yotsume]

This one is much better than the other one :D. In my opinion anyway :).

Sorry not even close! ;) Now with the other one we have random images unlimited that can fall and it works on VB, VBA, as as a stand alone HTML page!

One image falling script to rule them all... and this one ain't it! ;)

A live example for every one is: www.globalschoolconnect.com/example/random.html (http://www.globalschoolconnect.com/example/random.html)

refresh the page and enjoy the magic! I am making more animated gifs for this now and they will be included in my example page above but released on the other mods page: Randoam Images On Page Reload or Refresh (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2133286&postcount=102)

[ricardoNJ]

Good again!

[Hugh_P]

And again this year too. Thank you!
