Forum Home Enhancements - Snow for your site :-)

Hi Everyone

Just found this great script on this site which lets you add a snow effect to your forums, its great to add on Christmas Day. The great thing about this script is that its free and you don't have to keep it just for snowing, you could add leaves, pumpkins (Halloween) for just about any graphic you want, credit goes to Sasa Skevin for creating such a good script.

You can see a DEMO HERE on the Dynamicdrive homepage, its a great site with loads of scripts you could integrate within your forums.

Enjoy,

I have moved and edited this script for easy use by the members. I have added instructions and added the script to a file which is loaded.

This code is a free source from DynamicDrive.com. Users are NOT allowed to remove the copyrights.

Thanks,

Just added a Valentine 10 x Hearts Collection, so you can use this as a treat on Valentines day

Enjoy

Nice little seasonal addition - although I have 'Code:'

At the very top of my forum homepage now just above my logo. Any idea how to remove this?

It sounds like you actually copied the word "code" and pasted it in!

Remove the actual word/text "Code"

Give it a go and see, remember to back up your originals, let us know how you got on

i added it to the vbAdvanced rather than the FORUMHOME because some of my members either have poor systems/cpu's or a browser which they prefer not to use javascript.

i therefore added it to the adv_portal of the vbAdvanced Template so they would only briefly see the snow upon entering FORUMHOME.

in adv_portal

above </head>

add,

<!-- Start Snowflake Code -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/snowstorm.js"></script>
<!-- End Snowflake Code -->

note: under our setup, i did not adjust the src="clientscript/snowstorm.js location code so only adjust if need be depending on ur server's forum folder.

vBAdvanced v3.0.1

HTH and thanks for the festive snow.

as with my above post, i'm now using it for Halloween using the pumpkin.png file someone posted earlier in this thread.

however, i went ahead and edited the .js file in M$ Word and replaced with pumpkin.png rather than simply change the file extension or changing the name to snowflake.gif ...i also didn't want to convert it in my photoeditor.

tnx again!

I installed this on my site with VBA.

I have a flash banner at the top of my site. Is there a way to make the snow fall in front of the flash? The banner is maintained on my site using CYBs banner mod. The snow goes over other flash elements such as my youtube embedded players or other flash videos.

Hmmm I wonder if there is "transparent" code missing somewhere?

Great. Thanks. Works great on vb4 too.

Oh no Santa's Reindeer are escaping... thanks to this mod! LOL

Have a look here: http://www.globalschoolconnect.com/

Attached is the image I created for this.

Next I am going to create a snowman image.

Developer Question:
How can we code your mod so it uses random images each page refresh???

That would rock!!!

Here is my image of poor frosty the snowman that you can use to make fall down your site.
