What is it ?
It's a simply Advent Calendar. I've filled it with images,music and videos (youtube or myvideo).
Each day (there are only 24 ) can have an image url or data (data like: <object ....).
How does it works ?
Like an advent calendar. I've created an simply template with an iframe in it. In this frame you will see a background-picture, doors (is the word correct ?) (calendar days) and - if you set it to on - snowflakes.
This calendar can only use on december and a day will only open if it's the correct day or an earlier day.
Example: it's 7th of december, so you can open all day include the 7th.
Each day will give a popup window (you can change the size for each day).
If you try to open a calendar day on a later date it will give you an error (confirm script) - this can also, when a day is "empty".
Empty means:
You have entered an image-url but selected "data" (in admincp) or you selected "image" but the image-url is empty.
After install all 24 days are filled will "funny movies", "pictures", "flash" or "music". You can change everything you like.
There are a few settings (is online, snowflakes on/of and count of snowflakes).
Also there are only 2 permissions:
- the permission to use the calendar
- the permission to test the calendar
If you set a usergroup to test the calendar, the users can see and click all the days of the calendar - that needed for testing !
Some technical
The iframe-size is set to 1024x768 and can changed in the template adventcalendar.
All images, javascript and the background html lies in: images/advent.
If you wanna change the backgound-image, change "images/advent/wallpaper.jpg".
The snowflake image can also changed (images/advent/snowflake.gif)
Installation
There is NO installation READ.ME !
Simply upload all files and import the product.
The product creates a plugin that used $template_hook[navbar_buttons_left] for the navbar.
P.S. deutschen Support gibt es auch bei your-vb

If you go to www.vfkforums.com and click the link you can see what we did with it. The members love it too!
Thanks for this, will be sure to use it again next holiday season!
Sorry, I went there but didn't see anything like this mod. In the calendar, I clicked and got member profile pages.
Now, this mod, is it like when in easter for ex. someone clicks the date, he gets the easter bunny? On Christmas, he will get a Christmas tree? I really don't understand it?
Only a few days left until 1st December. I tried to use this version of the calendar, but when i activate it, i can open all the calendar doors. Is it only because i am the admin? When I log in as a user and set the rights that a user can see but not test the calendar, the calendar is currently not visible. Will it be visible on 1st December?
This should work on 3.8 versions.
I run it on a 3.8 and works.
Tolden - I think that is because of the month setting. It shouldn't do that in the month of December. Or it could be as you are an admin. Try making a regular user test account and trying it then.
