IMPORTANT NOTE
For the correct operation of the MOD must have in your template the following template_hooks:

• headinclude_javascript
• footer_javascript

In your template "header" find:
In your template "footer" find:
If these are not the template_hook MOD WILL NOT WORK!
Before commenting that the MOD does not work, make sure that these template_hooks are present in your template.

Cool . Thanks !:up:

(without changing templats is allways better ) 5*

Yes, in the future version added setup options in vBulletin settings ^_^

I really liked it.
I have a suggestion:
can you add stop button because it maybe annoying to some member?
Thanks

Yes, where you want this option?

Maybe as a button that stays at the top of the screen and it can say snow on/off.

Thanks! Installed.

Option for the falling-speed and number of snowflakes were nice :)

All right, this in next mini-release.

Yes, I have this in todolist for the next major version.

Will this work for 3.8.6? I've been trying to get the button feature but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it:\

Some of my member's are complaining about it lagging their browsing experience and I tried to figure out a way to have them turn it on or off but I had no luck.

Can you make it so the snow doesn't follow your mouse?

Superb thanks.

The easy on/off switch would be good. Though to be fair, it would take two minutes to duplicate your style and advise users to switch if they didn't like it.

The options is avariable tomorrow in the new mini-release 1.01
Today working to switch on/off with cookie for enable/disable relation to this request: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...55#post2131955

working in vb4.0.8pl2 xd

I have released major version with some features. See first post in ChangeLog section.

Thanks to all suggestions.

I installed it on my vb 3.8.6 But it's not working I knew it wouldn't.
I just modified min version lol.

Do you think you could make one compatible for 3.8.6? I can let you use my board as a test if you don't have 3.8.6.

Here's the error:


Any tips to make it work? Thanks:)

Where's snap shots?

Min version is 4.0, with 3.8 need some modification to template system.

Simple, my blog or friend forum :p

Any suggestions?:)

You want this product compatible with vBulletin 3.8.x ??

(vBulletin 4.0.8 Patch Level 2)

I haven't tested to see if each setting works or not on my board, but it seems to be ok with just the plug and play so far.

This mod really needs the ability to be disabled in threadview altogether. The snow effect is very annoying when attempting to read a thread. I will disable the mod from my board for now in hopes of turning it off in threadview will be available in an upcoming version. By the way, disabling it from threadview should be added in the admincp settings.

Other then that small issue,.....great mod!

Just a though but,....You may also consider setting this mod up to change the snow to other images that could be used throughout the year. Example, for valentines day there could be small floating hearts instead of snow. Or small green clovers on st. patricks day. Or pumpkins at halloween. I personally would not have a problem paying for such a mod.

Yess:)

First of all thank you for the various suggestions that you have provided me. Part of what you request is possible, ie, in the settings you can insert a character and it will be turned into snow, so you must enter the HTML code of the image you want to see, for example:
Then you have to increase the size of the "bow"as it is written in the description of the field of default are 8px you set the size of the image and this appears as snow (I just tried it and I saw many small houses).
As for your request to disable the mod in the view of the discussion I can enter without problems. Add a setting where the MOD is show if you are on that page (via the constant THIS_SCRIPT of vBulletin).
I do not require money for the development of this MOD, if you want I can create custom MOD fee but this is not the place to discuss it. However, as all developers want to give me something if you can make donations from the form that each developer has. Do you find the right information in the development of MOD.

As you requested is not possible because I only develop for the latest version of vBulletin because earlier versions will be removed support in the future so it is not a good business.

Was there another release today? I was notified of a new release, but the version of 1.1.1 is the same version I installed yesterday. :confused:

Excellent = 5 Stars

installed

thanxx

I change only name, today release 1.1.2 version with minor bug fix.

Any chance of getting this to work just in the banner area ?

that option would be good

What do you mean?

Great add-on! Congratulations to the designer!

Any idea how to change the shape of the snow to more traditional one?

When I say traditional shape I mean this one

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

because I see the snow falling as cycles.

Of course you can ^_^
In the area where you find the character:
you put below:
Change the size of the flakes.
There are width and height and are set to default 8px.

Hello, if left blank the script Locations, nothing appears on any page, I do wrong?

Thanks

Greetings!

Mmm.. fixed bug in 1.2.0 release, please wait few days. Thanks!
