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.

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!

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:

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.
