Snow on Forum Index 1.0.0 [Mod]

[LDM]

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?!

[LDM]

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

[cisco007]

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?

[LDM]

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

[Ghostface]

Thanks for advice but i cant do it..

[Ghostface]

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

[LDM]

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

[Ghostface]

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?

[LDM]

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

[Ghostface]

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