Integration with vBulletin - [Namaless] Snow Storm

Let It Snow.
So, you want Javascript snow on your web site, eh?


What It does
Snowstorm is a Javascript-driven snow effect that can be easily added to web pages. It is free for use, and easy to set up. A single Javascript file provides the functionality required. No images are used for the snow effect.

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:

{vb:raw template_hook.headinclude_javascript}

In your template "footer" find:

{vb:raw template_hook.footer_javascript}

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.

It worked, but the on/off toggle isn't working, and no one is helping me.

Try doing a search for {vb:raw template_hook to find the other hook command and put it before.

What are you talking about? It's two different files one for each line.

I have the on/off toggle problem narrowed down- it works in Explorer 9 when I am not logged in, but not when I log in.

Anyone know why the on/off toggle would do that?

Change the size of the flakes.
There are width and height and are set to default 8px.

FYI

Changing this to ¤ is really close to a snowflake.


Great mod.

Does anyone know why i have a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of my page when the snow is on?
Using vB 4.2.0

Sorry, but it doesn't work with several custom styles or addons. Deinstalled.

Working great thanks!

For this:

Show Snow Storm on pages (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load)

Why is the default high server load? Why not make the default just the forum home or homepage of the site?

How can we find THIS_SCRIPT locations? I just tried "index, forumhome, forumdisplay" and none of it worked. I am using the vBaCMPS for the homepage. How can I find the THIS_SCRIPT for it? If not, how can I make it show just on the forum home and the forum display? Thanks.
