3. Countdown to Christmas: Demo (http://thevbninja.com/forum.php?styleid=3)
This will add a very simple countdown on your site, it made it to fit this xmas skin and I love it to be simply, if you are looking for more fancy countdown (bigger with effect), just wait, I'm working on a template modification for this.. Now here we go

In your "header" template:

Find:
<div id="header" class="floatcontainer doc_header">

Add below:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--

dateFuture = new Date(2011,11,24,0,00,0); //set time

function GetCount(){

dateNow = new Date(); //grab current date
amount = dateFuture.getTime() - dateNow.getTime(); //calc milliseconds between dates
delete dateNow;

// time is already past
if(amount < 0){
document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML="Merry Christmas!";
}
// date is still good
else{
days=0;hours=0;mins=0;secs=0;out="";

amount = Math.floor(amount/1000);//kill the "milliseconds" so just secs

days=Math.floor(amount/86400);//days
amount=amount%86400;

hours=Math.floor(amount/3600);//hours
amount=amount%3600;

mins=Math.floor(amount/60);//minutes
amount=amount%60;

secs=Math.floor(amount);//seconds

if(days != 0){out += days +" day"+((days!=1)?"s":"")+", ";}
if(days != 0 || hours != 0){out += hours +" hours"+((hours!=1)?"":"")+", ";}
if(days != 0 || hours != 0 || mins != 0){out += mins +" min"+((mins!=1)?"":"")+", ";}
out += secs +" until Christmas!";
document.getElementById('countbox').innerHTML=out;

setTimeout("GetCount()", 1000);
}
}

window.onload=function(){GetCount();}//call when everything has loaded

//-->
</script>
<div style="color:#FFF;font-weight:bold;margin-left:110px;margin-top:10px;position:absolute;z-index:20000;" id="countbox"><!-- Countdown by thevBNinja --></div>

Done!

Q&A

Q: Why don't you make a more fancy background?
A: We don't want your site will be something with load of graphics and full of colors.
You may want to do the background yourself with related content to your site. Anw if the request is high, I will make it. As requested, a SET of background will be available soon, mark as install to get the latest update.

Q: Does these add-ons slow down my forum?
YES and YES. I do not recommend you to use it expect the count down script. Or you can put it in your site just for one day like Xmas. It should be better.

Q: Why don't you intergate all these add-on to the style, it save us ton of time!
A: Because I want you are the one who decide what's needed for your site, each of add-ons here can be release as a seperate template mod but I included them all here for you, you can get exactly what you need faster and easier.

[The Rocketeer]

Wow, This theme looks excellent. better than any Christmas theme I have seen so far. Tagged and Nominated :)

Two requests though,
1. Can you give us the code to add the Christmas lights (as shown in the snow link?)
2. This theme needs a background to finish it off. (nothing that's too big like hundreds of kilobytes or too small and cluttered, But something plain yet in the holiday spirit. :D

[ThevBNinja]

Added "Christmas Light" Addon.

[ThevBNinja]

Enjoy the style, donation is not a must. lol. I'm sharing it free with all the addons.

Countdown and bg to be added soon, need to find some free time from my schedule.

[Erica1977]

Can this work on any other styles ? and what would i have to do if wanted to add it to all my other styles.

[ThevBNinja]

If you are talking about the add-on then absolutely Yes, just upload the folder to the correct place and it works

here is "images/styles/xmas/snow".

and "images/styles/xmas/light".

[Krusty1231]

If I may - there is a en error in the instructions. The folder name is "Christmas Light"....you need to rename it just "light"....or at least I had to.

Very excellent skin.

Thank you again for this.

Added to the guide.

[ThevBNinja]

Countdown added!

[GMan55]

This is truly amazing vbninja. Nominated for MOTM!

Can you help me with one issue though? When the snow effect it on, the scrollbars seem to keep jerking. This happens if I move the mouse towards the left, right and bottom of the screen. Any ideas how I can fix that.

Also, if it's not too much to ask, is it possible to make a user-based option to enable and disable the snow-effect? Not sure how hard it is, but it would be awesome if that was added. So users with slow PCs can turn it off if they want and it won't lag on their PC.

This is truly an amazing piece of work! Hats off!!

[ThevBNinja]

The javascript as I noted will slow down your PC and based on browser's render. It works fine for me in this case, can I have an url to your site?

I will think about an options to switch it on/off as it will be more flexible.

Thank you for your support and kind words, really appreciated.

Regards,
ThevBNinja

[thecore762]

Awesome template!

[ThevBNinja]

As requested, an option to turn on/off snow effect for member and background will be available to download soon.

Regards,
ThevBNinja

[Papa Bear]

Excellent design..Marked as installed..

[ThevBNinja]

Thank you guys for your support!

New snow effect with options to turn on/off will be release today, keep on touch.

Also mark as installed and rate it if you enjoy my style.

Regards,
ThevBNinja

Note: Add-ons installation will be moved into a .txt after to save place.

[GMan55]

Awesome!!
BTW, vBNinja - it seems there is still a snow scroll jerking issue.. I've reinstalled the fluid style with no changes and the issue is still there, bud..
Sorry to trouble you again, but any clues on that?

Thanks.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it fixed!

[GMan55]

Another note... I went ahead and tried the light effect... followed the instructions and used the lights effect (just wanted to check it out), but I can't seem to get that enabled for some reason.

Thank you so much for considering my request on the snow-effect :).

[Robru]

Wauw! Thank you very much :)

[ThevBNinja]

Now, a fresh update with new add-on:

Snow with options to turn on/off. add rounded, shadow...etc Check it yourself here (http://thevbninja.com/forum.php?styleid=3) (scroll down to the footer)

Please keep on your support to us by mark as install, nominate it, post a thanks, report bug, request features.

[GMan55]

Hey vBninja - the lights work... just not in the index page though, thanks!

But the new snow script doesn't seem to work for me in the fluid version. Still getting snow with the older script though.

[ThevBNinja]

Hi Gman55,

remember to remove the old javascript from the old snow, then it should works.

ThevBNinja

Thanks for responding vbninja :)! I did remember to do that though.

But have you tested this add-on on the fluid version?

Thanks

[ThevBNinja]

It's working me for me with a fluid here (http://thevbninja.com/forum.php?styleid=4)

Regards,
ThevBNinja

[GMan55]

Awesome, I got it! It was only working in other pages and not in the index page. Instead of putting it at the end of headinclude it put it at the end of headinclude_bottom and it works :). Thanks again!!

Just one thing though.. I can't seem to use both, the lights and the snow simultaneously. It works with either the snow or the lights :).

[craig100]

can this Style go on Version 4.1.7

[Rolli]

Unfortunately, with me the countdown and the snow 2 also does not function not. What can this lie with?

[GMan55]

Unfortunately, with me the countdown and the snow 2 also does not function not. What can this lie with?

Countdown didn't work for me either in the fluid version, untill I put the script BELOW the header images in the header template. Figured that the header images were covering the timer.

Snow2 - I put it in headinclude_bottom instead of headinclude...

[ThevBNinja]

Hi guys,

This style was made and carefully tested on a 4.18 board. But it should work on all 4.1.x version. If there are any conflict with older version, just let me know and I will fix it.

There are no huge change between fixed and fluid version except the header. I will check it and let you know. The snow2 script should works without any problem as I'm putting it on the live demo the same time I wrote the guide.

Lastly, thank you for your support , any bug report or suggestions on the skin are very welcome.

Regards,

[LLent]

excellent skin thank-you very much

how do i take out pure Christmas logo and insert my own thanks in advance

[ThevBNinja]

just make a custom logo of yours and upload/replace it with the current one in images/styles/xmas/logo.png.

Or you can put the url via stylevars/titleimage

Thank you for your support and have a great day!

That's probably it. I have a 4.1.5 installed :D.

[The Rocketeer]

Wow, This style has become very popular very fast..seems like a lot of people including me like it..I will be installing it next week..

Until vBNinja or anyone else here comes up with a decent looking background, you can use this one as tiles if you like, should look good :)

Not my work by the way, I think its from another old Christmas theme..

[ThevBNinja]

I'm expecting an upgrade tomorrow with set of background, improved scripts and maybe an update xm for the fluid if I could confirm these conflicts with older version.

Thank you again for your support with this style.

Regards,
ThevBNinja

[Mamma Scarlett]

I have the 4.1.5 and it's working for me (fluid)...

[setishock]

Morning ya'll. Could I impose on a few of you to post links to sites that have the theme and the add ons running? I tried to make my own christmas theme but it flopped. Depending on how this looks on a live site, I just might install it on mine.

[ThevBNinja]

There are live demo on the first post to each version and add-ons, isn't it enough to see it in action?

In anycase, you can test it on a localhost and I believe it took you only 10 minutes to download/install and configure the theme.

Regards,
ThevBNinja

[setishock]

I downloaded it but did not install. I would prefer to see one that is not a demo but rather a site that is active. Did not mean to offend ninja-san. Ittekimasu

[ThevBNinja]

I don't see the different between a live demo vbulletin board than a regular site, except the number of posts. :D j/k

anw isn't it much better to install it as a test style on your board then If you don't feel happy with it, remove it than look at it on someone's else board?

Regards,

[GMan55]

Yeah, I'm not really sure what is a better proof that it works great than the demo either :D. I installed this as a test on my forum and it works great and got great reviews on it from the members!!

[Markos]

thanks for the style but strangely i cant get the snow or countdown to work :S

[ThevBNinja]

thanks for the style but strangely i cant get the snow or countdown to work :S I will check these script later today and release a fix (if needed) with an background set, then please keep on touch.

You say the code was done by yourself, but christmas lights and snoweffect was created by other people along with Scott Schiller.

I think you need to change that!

[ThevBNinja]

I think you need to change that!

Hello,

Is there any line that I wrote the javascripts was coded by myself?

Christmast light have the link to original site by the author, also the snow. (edited, checked that I added the new link for snow to my site, cuz It has some new functions in forumhome).

Along that

And the Christmas Lights?
The christmas lights are a separate experimental script which also has an example. It is undocumented, but the script can be modified to taste if you're the adventurous type.

They didn't write the guide to implement christmas light then I wrote it for vbulletin.

If you notice that in vbulletin template modifications section, there are a lot of mods used jquery effect to creat custom effect for vbulletin as mine. And here is the copyright note for Snow1 and Christmas Light

Then you would need to change this accordingly

[ThevBNinja]

Hmm I wrote this copyright before releasing add-on one day.

Then it was applying to template code and design by myself.

The javascript code has been modified to work with vbulletin, and custom template with copyright still remains on the .js without any changes.

However, it's added.

[RobbieZ]

Thanks. Installed

[ThevBNinja]

You are welcome, also thank you or your feedback and support.

Regards,

[The Rocketeer]

@ RobbieZ - You are bringing the wrong kind of attention here. Would you just back off and lay off the guy for a minute and let people just enjoy his theme during the holiday period? :rolleyes:

And Yes, I know the xmas lights aren't his work, but he made some work on the script to make it work or whatever. copyright this watermark that, fine print this and that. how many users do you think care about that. Most people here just want a great style.

[LLent]

You say the code was done by yourself, but christmas lights and snoweffect was created by other people along with Scott Schiller.

I think you need to change that!

i think you need to enjoy this fine skin or just keep your comments to yourself this community is about sharing even if the designer didnt put this in others would of tried to .....these holiday skins are very few and when they come along i applaud the designer for making them available

this is a support thread so lets keep it at that...

excellent work ThevBNinja keep it up...

Word!

[The Rocketeer]

so vBNinja, Where are those backgrounds you were working on the other day? :D

I am kidding..no rush..:p but I'm very keen to see how they look though. :o
Waiting for all the updates so that I can install the theme and hide it until xmax :D

[ThevBNinja]

Hi guys,

Thank you for your support, I really much appericated. Copyright is important as I repesct and expect to be repescted by others. However sharing is caring, especially with this style, it was made for the only goal "christmas celebration" so I would be more than happy to see you guys enjoy my style and use it on your board than trying to complain you "where's my style copyright?" :D .

Next xmas I will put the copyright as "Design by Santa Claus in a winter night" and see if he will come to visit me to complain in christmas night :D

We are going to have a wonderful time, an awesome dinner with our family and expecting a brand-new year then whatever happens, it happened, let's it go.

I will keep improve this style until christmas time as much as possible just so you guys can bring to your member a real feeling that "I feel it in my fingers,
I feel it in my toes,
Christmas is all around me,
and so the feeling grows". (I love this song so bady from the movie Love actually :D).

Backgrounds will come as I set it will be a set of background, then please be a little patience and keep on touch, it will be on it's ready.

Yeah I have same issue on fluid, I can either have lights or snow2 Depending on what I put in headinclude. If I put both in snow doesn't work I only have lights.

Looking forward to see what is coming next. Keep up the really great work.

[Markos]

i still cant get snow to work or the count down :(

[paradoxx109]

The lights are superb!!!

but how can I make the light go to the entire right side of the forum?

[ThevBNinja]

Be patience, an improved script with bug-free will be released soon with background, I will need time to test in in both version fixed and fluid, also browser compatiable.

Thanksgiving then black fridays, give me some time then :)

Regards,

[Mojosoft]

Installed the fluid theme with no problems, and it looks great! No snow or lights.

I am having users that are on Ipads and other tablets that can't access the user links in the upper right. Log In, Notifications, Profile, Settings, etc.

I tested it on my HTC EVO, and on the default vB Style I can enlarge the screen to use the user links. When trying this in the Christmas theme, either the logo image or the left header image overlaps and will not allow access to the user links, even after I enlarge the screen view.

Any thoughts or suggestions? My version is 4.1.8.

Thanks in advance.

[Markos]

i had the same prob i just created a new logo and made it transparent

Sure, np, go and enjoy your new acquisitions form black friday haha.

I ofund another issue, when putting the lights, I cant upload any pictures, I can put the URL on the pop up but nothing happens when clicking Ok.

I will remove it and only keep the snow.

[Mojosoft]

i had the same prob i just created a new logo and made it transparent

Thanks Markos. I used the logo.png that came with the style and modified it keeping the bg transparent. Maybe I made the lettering too large. I usually run images that are 800px wide in the default style and don't have this problem. The logo image does stretch across the whole header on small devices but as long as you enlarge the view, the user buttons will work.

Are you using the download/upload styles under style manager? I did it wrong at first and tried to uploade it with the "import product". I got the "invalid file" when I did that.

[Mamma Scarlett]

aberg: Have you tried it the way GMan55 describes it?


Countdown didn't work for me either in the fluid version, untill I put the script BELOW the header images in the header template. Figured that the header images were covering the timer.

Snow2 - I put it in headinclude_bottom instead of headinclude...

[EuroBeat2]

I have to admit. I really like this style. I have decided to settle with original skin that featured "snow effect" using snow.js script. The style is simple and elegant. I see you guys are fond of these additional whistles such as countdown and lights. In my opinion they are really adding a lot of noises and stear away from the content. I have chosen not making this skin "Las Vegas" style, but settle with the snow only. Too much is not always good. I think for some it is already too much, but what the hell let me be provocative.

Thank you for the wonderful job though.

[CouponWCents]

I'm lost! I uploaded everything and have it checked on my Styles in AdminCP but it is not showing up. Am I missing something?

[CouponWCents]

OK...figured it out...is there anyway to make the header wider?

[oldlock]

Sorry if this has been reported allready. Nothing came up on the search. When using the fluid version on small laptops / ipads etc the logo overlaps the login boxes thus preventing users from using them .........

[kfyonur]

lights and snows didn't work..Firefox give these error

snowStorm is not defined
[Break On This Error] <script>snowStorm.excludeMobile = false;</script>

$("lights").style is undefined

Thank you for your kind works, I myself do not recommend to add a lot of effect to your site as it will sure slowdown site speed. For me, snow is more than enough.

OK...figured it out...is there anyway to make the header wider?

Which version you are using on your board? If it's a fixed, it can be done easier and faster than fluid. The fluid contant 3 images, with one repeated to fit the screen resolutions.

Sorry if this has been reported allready. Nothing came up on the search. When using the fluid version on small laptops / ipads etc the logo overlaps the login boxes thus preventing users from using them .........

Can I have link to your site? And I would be much appreciated if you can give me the exactly resolution, and which style version where the error happended.

Lights and snows didn't works. Hi guys, please, I really cannot see anything for giving any fixes if you are reporting me back with just this phrases. There are few people, who sent me a PM asking for help with script, I checked them through, and ended up that they did not follow the guide or upload to wrong space. If it doesn't work for ya.

PM me with an URL to your board. An user with admin style permission and link to the folders where you uploaded these style and scripts. I will try to help you with that.

Where exactly did you stuck?

Please feel free to give more specific error, example: You can't download the attachment, you can't import the xml...etc.

This style is supported as always and it will be supported in anyway. However an update version is ready, I just need time to get feedback from my testers to see if there are any error to fix. It will be releases here, free as always. Just be patience a little bit.

I have the same prob. Lets see if I can explain it with my bad english. :p

When I'm using my I-pad I cant klick on the log in or the other links in the upper right corner in the header. I can only klick on the links that dont have the "logo.png" file overlapping them. On my I-pad everything is much more narrower then on the PC, but you can see the same happening if you make your window narrower on the PC. You cant klick on the links..

The biggest problem is when a member wants to log in and cant klick to write the login-name..

Did that explain the problem?

I am absolutely LOVING this so are my members!
I am using the fluid version. But as you see at www.couponwithcents.com The left side of the header (blue part) gets cut off and turns to black.

Not sure what you mean.. are you talking about the header background? It looks fine here. Well, if you have a lower pixel resolution, then it will appear as if it is cut-off.
I had fluid before as well. I switched to fixed and then reduced the margins. I also made a few changes to the header background to make it compatible with 4:3 and 16:9 PCs and all pixels.. it's not that hard. Just have to make a couple of changes in additional.css and 1 change in style vars, that's it.

You can check out my website at http://ftazeta.com

EDIT:
Wait, now I know what you mean. Just go to stylevars and increase the bottom value of titleimage_padding and all will be good.
EDIT2:
Well, that's one thing you might want to think about, but now my guess is that you are in fact talking about the screen resolution part.

[Mamma Scarlett]

I'm sorry Ninja, but I liked the first snow best.. And now i removed it and cant remember how to get it back. I have downloadet and uploaded snow folder but cant remember what to add where.. And now it's gone from your installation-guide.. Help...

[GMan55]

Post a screenshot what it looks like for you. Because it looks fine here and is not cutting off to the left. I believe it is the screen resolution issue. You can jusr remove the margins if need be, but first post what it looks like and what you need.

[ThevBNinja]

Script are being tested again in live demo at

Light and countdown is there, snow is being rewritten.

I will try to put all the above add-on on live site, then write down exactly step to step how I did it on the demo here on next release (today) at vbulletib.org

Also I received a lot of PM and Email with feedback of the style and add-on which I really much appreciated.

All of them will be consider and test carefully before releasing any fix for update.

dateFuture = new Date(2011,11,24,0,00,0); //set time

Change

dateFuture = new Date(2011,11,25,0,00,0); //set time

It depends.. For me christmas is the 24th, and if I have counted correct it's right for me. The timer hits zero 24.00 when the date turns 24th. Is'nt that correct? Do you guys say it's christmas the 25th?

If you are using 4.1.5, without the patch, for me it only comes up if I put it in headerinclude_bottom instead of headerinclude. If you have a different version than tested, you may want to consider that.

I edited the logo.png file, which was just the text. You might have to reupload the default left header image after editing the .png file.

[Mamma Scarlett]

As Mojosoft says, use the logo.png file to make your logo. You wil find it here: thevbninja-pure-xmas-2012-fluid\Upload\images\styles\xmas and the file logo.png. This is a pic that is just the text and a transparent background. :)

Upload the new .png-file and you wil no longer have the problem. ;)

Dont know if this is fixed in the planned update but will point it out, same on mine as it is on your demos.

On profile page, side column blocks the red comes down a bit of the ways on the sides:


134884

Also I dropped the toplinks down to the navbar and so far cant find the setting for the padding around the username/password/log in area when unregistered, probably staring right at it but no luck so far. Hoping you can point it out when you have a spare monent.

134885

And thanks for making this style for all of us to use!!

[ThevBNinja]

Firstly,

@Mamma Scarlett: Thank you for your great support and helping others here, I really much appreciated!

Dont know if this is fixed in the planned update but will point it out, same on mine as it is on your demos.

On profile page, side column blocks the red comes down a bit of the ways on the sides:

it was made that way. In order to fit the widget and sidebar block on CMS and forumhome. The profile is customize-able in vbulletin and as it style is only a theme for season, limited time of year,I don't have it on the schedule for next upgrade.

Also I dropped the toplinks down to the navbar and so far cant find the setting for the padding around the username/password/log in area when unregistered, probably staring right at it but no luck so far. Hoping you can point it out when you have a spare monent.

Add this line to your additional.css


.toplinks .logindetails {

Secondly, honestly, I have very limit time at the moment due to large of custom projects, however I will try my best to bring a final version of this style will be available within 14.12.2011 (on my schedule) as my thank you to you guys for your support on this style. Growing pretty fast.

Please keep on touch!

Firstly,

@Mamma Scarlett: Thank you for your great support and helping others here, I really much appreciated!



You're welcome. I think it's fun to be able to help others. But when it comes to the bigger problems I'm not much help. I had never touched a vBulletin forum as admin before June this year. I'm happy to help others with what little I can.

Use this PSD. Open it and edit the font/color, and what you want it to say. Then save it as "logo.png" and upload it to \images\styles\xmas allowing overwrite.

[SpottySocks]

I see the same as before.

I don't mind helping. :)

Then save it as "logo.png" and upload it to \images\styles\xmas allowing overwrite.Thanks guys, I have downloaded and changed the logo.psd file and re-uploaded it and overwrite. I refreshed page and really got my hopes up as it was there, next moment when I refreshed again it went back to that old logo. This is getting me down now. :lol: So close to giving up and uninstalling as I seem to be getting nowhere, but I love the theme and really want to use it without having this problem!! :(

This is a screenshot from now:

This theme is using the logo.png located at images/styles/xmas/

there are various ways to change the logo.

Note: Logo MUST HAVE a transparent bg.

1. Open the logo.psd. Edit your own text , own taste then reuplace it with current logo.png
2. You can even open the default logo.png in photoshop, the .png file have a transparent bg already, delete the current text, add your owns, replace it.

If you didn't change the structure of header, then I don't find any reason why the new logo doesn't work.

Hi all,

This skin is fantastic! Thanks,

However i have an issue with this code :

<!-- Snow by thevBNinja.com -->

If i have it like this then the lights work!

I simply cannot get both to work at the same time..

Does anyone have idea ideas?

The error message i appear to get is [17:25:30.720] $(document) is null @ http://www.vs-uk.co.uk/forum.php:66

Thanks

Joe.

[ThevBNinja]

Hi,

THe problem with snow combine with lights will be fixed on next releases. However I need to find time from my curent schedules, then it will be when it's ready.

Regards and thanks,

[kfyonur]

new year is coming :)

[Ath3na]

Does anyone else have a problem with the snow hardly showing?

When you click on the login button you get the standard blank page for a moment, the snow looks perfect here.

Looking forward to seeing the next release. Keep up the good work

[Joemadden1989]

Hi there,

Does anyone know why the lights fail to show up correctly? They are see able for some people but not others..

I have the countdown but not the snow mod.

Thanks

Joe.

Could be the screen resolutions they are using. On our site anyone using 1024 x 768 the lights do not show plus the banner is a bit screwed up though that may be our fault with the logo.png we made. Strange thing is by moving mouse across where lights should show you do see the breaking lights. On higher resolutions they show with no problems.

On the fluid demo it does the same, lights show, set screen res to 1024, refresh page lights disappear.

pls help

[Mamma Scarlett]

Maxii: I'm not quite sure if I understood your problem correctly? Is it that the forum is too wide? If so, try to go to to your admin panel and go to starvare on the christmas-style. Then search for "doc" and find "doc_width". Try setting this to 90% and see if it fixes your problem. I hope this is what you ment, because this is a screen resolution problem. If you set it to 90%, it will adapt to different screens. I had this problem on my iPad.

[Mamma Scarlett]

Hmmm... Or is it just the bottom that is to wide?

[Maxii]

yes its too wide

[Mamma Scarlett]

Did you try the doc_width? I'm not sure, but mabye it will fix all.. Worth a try...

[The Rocketeer]

I hope The Ninja can come up with the new updated version of this style with all the backgrounds and features soon, Xmas is just 15 days away.. :D

[sweetpotato]

Thank you for the nice theme. I have it works nicely except for the light

[kylek]

Anyone have this problem when using lights with the style?

I have tested this on our site and when the lights are installed the insertion of smilies gets screwed up, also you cant accept a friends request when asked to accept. When we switch over to a Xmas style with no lights everything works fine.

[The Rocketeer]

10 days till Xmas Ninja, this is a once a year thing, this time of the year, are you are gonna come up with that update or should we all just install the old style we have here :)

[garybrun]

Thanks for the hard work.
Voted for and installed.

Gary

[Dennis13]

Version 4.1.9? Thanks ;)

[EuroBeat2]

or should we all just install the old style we have here :)

I think the answer is now obvious. On the other hand too bad Ninja did not find the time to update the style, but it is still very good the way it is and it works (I never installed lights and adjustable snow). Everyone likes it on my site.

EB

[Maxii]

version 4.1.9?

[Popa Andrei]

the snow was ripping mi forum load :))
i removed it.The theme is AWSEOME

[sixxkilur]

I change the icons of this theme to look better
Live Demo Here (http://bulletlabs.org/main/forum.php?styleid=10)

[Markos]

uninstalled lot of my users reporting they cant login and after a while they get logged back out * only in this style* so removed till sorted

[cs28702]

Your theme rocks, sir. I do appreciate it very much. If you want some work, I'll be happy to hire you.

[idhk]

Not sure how anyone can not like this style. Xmas wise i think its the best i have ever seen. Which will explain why everyone loves it. Make sure you guys Nominate this. http://snpr.cm/X0HazC.png I put this on about 1 week ago. Thanks for everyone who posted their errors so VBninja could fix them. Working on vb.4.1.9 Like a charm i think i love u Ninja lol Members are loving the xmas feeling. Thanks for all your hard work. :up:

[The Rocketeer]

Anyone have this? I am having trouble with the snow, As soon as I installed the lights the snow stopped!

Ninja was going to fix it, but it never happened. You probably should stick with just one of them to be on the safe side.

EB

[kfyonur]

when will you fix the lights ?

[Shadow]

Nice theme man! Installed. Keep up the great work!

mine is the same way

[GhostHunter2010]

to much work to be done.... not installed not nominated :D

[Lucyloo]

Does anyone know if this is compatible with version 4.2.0 please?

[tambo]

Hello - when I was installing this to prepare for this year, the following happened to my tabs, and suggestions? I am running vB 4.2 PL2.
Same here, although I'm on 4.1.12.

Navigation area was overhauled some time after 4.1. Been trying to apply the default style but with no luck.

Any chance of an update? You know... being as it's almost Christmas? :D

[tambo]

...and 12 hours later, I decided it was easier to rebuild it from scratch. :D

I just took the images for the header and navtabs, etc and built my own version as a child theme of my board's main theme, using the Pure Christmas templates as a guide. Couple of hours of fiddling with the CSS file and stylevars... and I have something I'm very happy with.

Not a faithful replication by any means, but it is easier to maintain.

Now... on to the snowfall!

[faisaly.com]

Why mention you have it working for vb4.2 if you dont share, makes no sense!

[tambo]

Because it works as a mashup with an existing 4.1.12 parent theme on my site which is, in itself, copyrighted code.

One couldn't simply export the XML and upload to another site - not only because I've been lazy and coded it sloppily, but also because the copyrighted code isn't mine to give away.

If I could, I would.

If I'm terminally bored at some point, I may have a crack at getting it working on a 4.2 test site, using the vB default theme as a starting point.

[Webkinztown1]

I found a simple fix for the nav bar issue in vb4.2.

In Style Manager, go to Style Variable Editor and scroll down to NavBar. Under navbar_tab_size, change the Units drop down menu to "px" and save.

[Cusski]

Work perfect vb4.2 pl3 with custom navbar and quicklinks bar, also had to change navbar_tab_size as units menu blank by default

[CouponWCents]

You rock Webkinztown1!!

[doctorsexy]

Has anyone got the sound to work on the lights....

its ok got it to work....

[kylek]

If having problems with snow or lights try this one - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2384682#post2384682 Works and all the options are in your admincp.

[lostincable]

Is this working on 4.2?

[invitezone]

Working fine in 4.2
I had to change the navbar tab size to px like was suggested in one of the posts and all is well.
The snow is a bit rubbish though so I added another snow mod I found somewhere and it looks great.

The only issue is the quick style chooser has no links in it so once the theme is selected there is no changing out of it using the quick style chooser.
I would copy the code from another theme and overwrite it in this theme but I have no idea where to find it lol.

[kylek]

Its probably your footer template, had the same problem and once I reverted it the style chooser worked.

Easy fix for the empty quick style chooser.

look in footer template and find

<if condition="$show['quickchooser']">
<td class="tfoot">
<select name="styleid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">
<optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_style_chooser]">
$quickchooserbits
</optgroup>
</select>
</td>
</if>
<if condition="$show['languagechooser']">

replace the above code with.

<vb:if condition="$show['quickchooser']">
<select name="styleid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'style')">
<optgroup label="{vb:rawphrase quick_style_chooser}"><option class="hidden"></option></optgroup>
<vb:if condition="$quickchooserbits1">
<vb:if condition="$quickchooserbits2">
<optgroup label="&nbsp;{vb:rawphrase standard_styles}">
