ModphpBB3 Community Forum

A simple little trick to get some snow on your Forum Home page this Christmas/Winter but thought I'd package it up as a mod for ease. Credit for source code goes to Dynamic Drive. I just edited it for phpBB3 use.

I was originally going to use this on our phpBB3 Christmas style but decided not to and to release as an optional add-on.

I guess nobody wants to thank you, so thanks this looks great!

It's not a bad little add-on. It's actually been downloaded quite a lot from the link on phpbb.com, so guessing some will use it over the festive period.

I installed it on my board last night, but i installed it in the overall_header.html of my style so it can show on the whole board, it looks awesome, but how can i make the flakes go down further?!

As the forums are in effect three parts, the overall_footer won't show snow active.

I did actually think at first whether to state the code in overall header but to be honest I thought it a bit much to have it on every single page. Doing it that way could also get on members nerves easier.

I thought having it just on index would nicely welcome people to the forum but yet not interrupt with individual forums and posting, that's just my opinion though

you're right about that, if people start complaining I'll just take it off

This is cool. I saw you posted this at phpBB.
I agree with it being a bit too much on every page but on the index will look good.

Hi, new user here, im ok with installing the forum, but when it comes to mods/add on`s im useless,Please can you tell me how i get this working on my forum please?

If you right click the install file, and select open in your browser, full instructions are listed and it is user friendly

Thanks for advice but i cant do it..

Done it... i was putting the files in the theme folder and not the root folder of phpbb

See.. it's not too bad to add is it. Well done mate, come next year, you will be throwing modifications on your forum as easy as pie

it only works on the one skin though, i have an alternate skin for users that dont want the christmas skin,and wanted snow it it too, is it possible?? and do i only need the Snow folder and javascript file in the forums main directory?

Yep leave that snowstorm file where it is and just add the template edit to overall_header.html to that style.

thanks very much, easy when you know how... Now whats next?!
