[Template Mod by vBCore]

Hey get into the festive spirit with this little template add-on

first goto admincp then styles & templates then edit templates and locate header and edit at the very very top before anything else. Add this,

<script type="text/javascript" src="/forum/images/misc/snow.js">

/***********************************************
* Snow Effect 1 -little snowflakes
***********************************************/

</script>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">

/******************************************
* Snow Effect Script 2 -big snow flakes

now download snow.zip and upload snow.js and snow.gif to /forum/images/misc/

hope u enjoy!

I guess you mean to remove that part?

[Mechanical Mind]

I installed, but I am seeing snowing little red X's. ??? What did I miss?

Right click on your red X's to see where the snow image should be uploaded to.

[Mechanical Mind]

This is the URL that I get when I right click on the "snowing red x's"

http://www.mechanicalminds.net/forum.../misc/snow.gif

But my folder isn't called "forum", it is called "forums".

Is this the problem?

[Mechanical Mind]

I figured it out. I just had to modify that path to ...forums... in the code.

Thanks so much. Love it. Just the right touch for my members for the holidays.

*clicks install*

[C_P]

Then upload snow.js and snow.gif to /forums/images/misc/
And possibly all references in the above script change to 'forums'
You may have to check with coder of script though, give it a try.

*Ooops update, you beat me to the reply.

Thanks anyways though. I love advice, even if it is a couple minutes late.

Just joking !!!

[Mechanical Mind]

Does anybody know how I could modify this to only show on my portal, which is VBadvanced?
