[Template Mod by vBCore]

Hey get into the festive spirit with this little template add-on

first goto admincp then styles & templates then edit templates and locate header and edit at the very very top before anything else. Add this,


<script type="text/javascript" src="/forum/images/misc/snow.js">

now download snow.zip and upload snow.js and snow.gif to /forum/images/misc/

hope u enjoy!

nice work, you had any users report slow ness?

[blackpheonix]

thanx not as yet but it is a little slow to start with

[sabret00the]

this doesn't appear to have firefox support btw :(

[blackpheonix]

no i found that out just works with ie

[KW802]

Just installed it at then-and-now.net (http://then-and-now.net/forum) for the Happy Holidays theme. Works nice, thanks.

[platnum]

This seems to drive my CPU to 100%? :(

[platnum]

I added this to my site.. And it made everyone lag.. I removed the code for the big flakes.. And everything is normal now.. With just the small ones ;)

The big flakes don't work in firefox.. But the smaller ones do.

[C_P]

Do you have the code without the Big ones so we can try it because it does seem to really slow things down BIG time.
Nice look by the way!

I guess you mean to remove that part?

[Mechanical Mind]

I installed, but I am seeing snowing little red X's. ??? What did I miss?

[C_P]

Right click on your red X's to see where the snow image should be uploaded to.

[Mechanical Mind]

This is the URL that I get when I right click on the "snowing red x's" :D

http://www.mechanicalminds.net/forum/images/misc/snow.gif

But my folder isn't called "forum", it is called "forums".

Is this the problem?

[Mechanical Mind]

I figured it out. I just had to modify that path to ...forums... in the code.

Thanks so much. Love it. Just the right touch for my members for the holidays.

*clicks install*

[C_P]

Then upload snow.js and snow.gif to /forums/images/misc/
And possibly all references in the above script change to 'forums'
You may have to check with coder of script though, give it a try.

*Ooops update, you beat me to the reply.

Thanks anyways though. I love advice, even if it is a couple minutes late.

Just joking !!! ;) :rolleyes: :D :p

[Mechanical Mind]

Does anybody know how I could modify this to only show on my portal, which is VBadvanced?

[SilverDawn]

I guess you mean to remove that part?No that is the part you want delete the rest of it! :)
