Project Snow 1.2
Author: Labradoodle-360 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=profile;u=182638)Latest Version: 1.2
Compatible With SMF: 1.1.12, 1.1.13, 1.1.14, 1.1.15, 1.1.16, 2.0 RC3, 2.0 RC4, 2.0 RC5, 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2
Summary
Want your forum to snow? The much awaited Project Snow 1.1 is finally here!
Very powerfully coded from the ground up, allowing you to change settings such as snow color, snow character, snowflake width and height, or even let your users toggle their snow on or off! Want to only have it snow in December or January? You can pick which month or months you want it to snow in! And it will only snow in the months you checked. Along with MANY more settings to give you
complete control over your forums snow!
Want the snow to JUST fall in the forums background, so it's not in the way of everything else? Well, you now can! Using the CSS z-index setting, simply set it to -5!
How about making the snow a different color? You can enter a hex color (ie. #ffdd00) or a primary color name (ie. yellow)! Just make sure you warn your members NOT to eat the snow, if it's yellow!
Here are some of the features...
General Features- Permission - Select which membergroup(s) can turn their snow off or on.
- User Based Toggle - This allows members with the proper permission only to turn their snow off, or back on.
- Admin Toggle - This allows the administrators to decide for all of the members whether the snow is on or off by default
Settings
- Disable Snow - This is simply a switch to toggle the snow on or off completely.
- Maximum Snow Flakes - The maximum possible snowflakes.
- Maximum Active Snow Flakes - The maximum possible snowflakes falling at once.
- Animation Interval - The speed at which the snow falls. (The faster it is, the more CPU it takes, so use with moderation.)
- Y Axis Snow Limit - Sets the max height of the snowing area (from the top). For example, setting it to 10 would make the snow stop falling after 10 pixels.
- Element For Snow - Ever wish the snow could only fall down to a certain element? This setting allows you to do just that!
- Follow Mouse - This allows you to make the snow follow your mouse!
- Snow Color - This allows you to control the color of your snow. You can either enter a primary color (ie. red) or an actual hex (ie. #ff0000).
- Character For Snow - This gives you control over "what snows". Try experimenting with it...you can add any character! (* or •).
- Snow Piles Up - This allows you to have the snow pile up at the bottom of the forum! But only if you want to! And the sun is out, so it does melt eventually.
- Melt Piled Snow - The snow disappears no matter what, but if this is checked, it will fade away - The alternative is for it to just disappear.
- Use Twinkling Snow - Checking this makes the snow twinkle as it falls.
- Follow Scroll - If you want the snow to follow you as you scroll, you can.
Advanced Settings
- Left Offset - Lets you set the margin between the snow and the left side of the containing element.
- Right Offset - Lets you set the margin between the snow and the right side of the containing element.
- Flake Width - This lets you change the width of your snowflakes! The bigger they are, they harder they fall. - Not really...but they do look cool.
- Flake Height - This lets you change the height of your snowflakes!
- Maximum X Axis Velocity Range - Sets the top speed of the snow movement (downward). The higher the number, that faster it goes. Simple, right? - No Scotty, it's not :P
- Maximum Y Axis Velocity Range - Sets the top speed of the snow movement (sideways). The higher the number, that faster it goes. Simple, right?
- CSS Z-Index - Web pages are like onions. They have multiple layers, so the higher your inputted number, the higher up the snow is. Try using -5 and see what happens.
Month Settings
- Use Months To Snow - You'll use this setting if you only want it to snow in the months you have checked below
- Snow in January - Only have it snow in January, if the Use Months To Snow is checked.
- Snow in February - Only have it snow in February, if the Use Months To Snow is checked.
- Snow in March - Only have it snow in March, if the Use Months To Snow is checked.
- Snow in April - Only have it snow in April, if the Use Months To Snow is checked.
- Seriously? - Why are you still reading this? You get the point. There are 14, one for each month of the year.
Help us make it snow in other countries and provide us with translations!
We will wrap your translations with "// SMF Modders; Project Snow - // End SMF Modders; Project Snow" and put your name in the readme!

Nice finally approve. Is there a way to toggle off?

Nice finally approve. Is there a way to toggle off?
No. All this mod does is add a .js file that makes it snow on your forum. To disable it, just uninstall the mod ;)
Nice Mod
For the next Version please make away to toggle off. ;)
Good! :D
finally, but for me it's too late :(
thank you ;)

Very easy working... Congrt. !!
Thank you everyone.
Sorry for the late release, I was planning on having it released before Christmas but I had to go on vacation and release was delayed so again my apologies.
Regarding toggle off/on for the next version, not only do I plan on adding toggle on/off I plan on adding full control via admin panel for all of the options related to the .js file.

Would love to see weather control: rain, lighting, foggy and more.... ;D
This is also in the plans for a future mod release "Forum Weather Mod" which I am working on with Sangwe11 who is going to be coding the JavaScript and iKorp who will be working on development of the mod itself with me.
Future development will include time based, time of day based, date based and on/off toggle.
Labradoodle-360
And automatic setting according to the time
For example:
0:00-07:00 Rain
07:00-12:00 snow etc.

Awesome, time of day based, which would be awesome if you created a theme with it which change automatically darker in the background when it's nite time.
There is already a 2.0 Theme that changes the background based on the time of day. I will not be creating 2.0 Themes any time soon because I do not have Photoshop for editing the images right now.

No plm. :)
Are you referring to this?
http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=769
It's not for 2.0 RC2
How can i make the snowflakes bigger?
I'd like the size of a smilie, but if i chage the flakeWith and flakeHeight, they don't actually grow.
Thaks for the great mod ;)
Look in the .js file
There is a option
I modified the snowstorm.js.
The parameters flakeWith and flakeHeight, which were 8 pixel on default, I set them so 18, 50 and 100 pixel, but I dind't see a difference.
Please attach your snowstorm.js file and I'll take a peak.
Here's the snowstorm.js
Thanks
As stated in the readme's and descriptions I personally did not write the JavaScript, but what you encountered I confirmed.
The only way you can get a change, would be to change it to 0, which makes them disappear, meaning there is a max height/width.
I will contact the script author and do more digging in the code, expect this to change by the next version which will have Admin inputs controlling the settings instead of having to edit the raw Javascript.
Thank you for reporting this,
Labradoodle-360
I will be updating Project Snow tonight to include Admin options instead of having to edit the JavaScript.
Any requests on controls that should be added?
That's great news, Labradoodle. :)
Some control over the speed at which the snow falls would be useful but not essential.
Hello,
a Checkbox in the Profile to let each user decide if there is any snow woul be great.
Some of my users has Problems that the snow needs a lot of CPU time.
Thanks for the input guys! Shouldn't be too long before 1.1 is released, already working on writing it.
About a user control toggle on/off, expect this by the time Project Snow gets to 1.3, I'd like the Admin options to have a quick release, as user on/off would require more work, but definitely in the works for the mods future as it does slow some computers down by a fair amount (depending on what your settings for it are)
Thanks again,
Labradoodle-360

Hey Project Snow Fans!
I have worked on v1.1 for a couple of hours today, and am pleased to announce the frame of it is built and I am down to the last little bit of coding before all of the edits are done.
Version 1.1 Features
User Toggle (Each user can turn the snow off or on)
Permission for User Toggle (This allows Administrators to control what membergroup(s) can toggle the snow via their profile)
Admin inputs for all snow options (How many flakes, color, etc.)

That is excellent but winter's over soon. :(
Any chances of adding rains, or other weathers?
I do apologize for the delays.
Other weathers are in the making, if I can find someone to help me code the JavaScript, it'd go a lot faster.

I am no coder, but I came up with this
http://javascript.internet.com/image-effects/rain.html
I will not add scripts that have a link included in them. I will leave author comments in the script itself, but links added to the template I will not use.
Any news on developments for 2.0 RC3 in time for this Christmas? :)
I was actually very surprised to see this topic bumped, been a while.
Without a doubt, however, this does work using Version Emulate as it's one simple edit to Load.php and a file added - Which is the same path and the edit itself will remain the same even with an update to SMF 2.0 RC3.

Since quite obviously my coding knowledge and skills have improved by a lot since the first release of this mod, I think an update including full mod settings should take me under an hour, so I am going to look into updating it this month; depending on how my time goes.
As of now, I do not plan on supporting SMF 1.x for version 1.1 of Project Snow.
Thanks Labradoodle. Great news! :)
first of all very nice mod Labradoodle.
as i have very lil knowledge of JS , can you tell me what would be the difference if we would have simply attached that script in index.template.php using <script> tags ? will there some load issues over servers ?
Thanks!
And the goal is to keep everything out of templates if possible so it is easily installable for other themes.
By putting it in Load.php rather than index.template.php, it works with every theme without manual edits. More effective and cuts down on my support time as well.
$context['html_headers'] is loaded up in every themes index.template.php for that very reason.
Version 1.1 will also have no template edits needed.
ahh ok thanks a lot, will try to keep that in mind that to play with templates as less as possible ;D
The reason being that it makes mods compatible with all themes rather than just the theme they were coded for. It is required by the SMF Customization Team that everything that can be, loaded in a Source rather than inline template for mods.
I should hide myself as all my mods are themes based :-[ . just one mod of mine yet to be approved is source based.
As this has gotten quite off topic, I suggest this be split if the conversation should continue or we take it to PM. However, not everything can be controlled via Source, template files do HAVE to be edited in some cases, however, when you can it's good to control it by Source files.

Be sure to keep checking back, Project Snow 1.1 is coming very shortly!
i'm checking back every week
hopefully it will come out before this year christmas
good job man :P
It's actually almost complete, however, I have not had interest in completing it recently.
Thanks for the bump though, and the interest. I'll do my best to get it out shortly when I have some time and the interest to finish it.
Labradoodle-360
Great news, Labradoodle. :)
i am interresred too :)

Would love to see this up and running :)
Won't be long till it's Christmas and it'd be great if it was snowing, and bollocks to the server load :P
Hi all,
very nice mod indeed :) I tried to install it in 1.1.12 but on the packages list it only appears [list Files] [Erase], doesn't appear the [Install] and I didn't install it. Anyone can give a hand?
Cheers.
P.S. - Just noticed I just posted on the wrong section, feel free to move it to the appropriate section, tks.[/list]
My guess is the fact that this mod is not yet compatible with SMF 1.1.12. - The edits work, however, the XML for 1.1.12 is not in package-info.xml so it shouldn't be letting you install it because "It's not compatible".
In package-info.xml
for="1.1.11"
for="1.1.11, 1.1.12"
That should work if you re-package the new version and try installing. Furthermore, I am trying very hard to get a release of Project Snow 1.1, although a lot of things are needing to be done prior in order for SMF Modders to be able to support the mod, the rest of the mods, and all needs that have to be met.
Glad you like the mod,
Labradoodle-360
I finally decided it's too close to Christmas to have not have this update out. So I pushed aside my other to-do's that were in front of this one, and am currently reviewing the update I had coded to make sure it's ready to go by the end of today hopefully.
Way cool. Thanks for taking the time to update this mod! ;D
For SMF 2.0 RC4?
Definitely. It will be SMF 2.0 RC3, SMF 2.0 RC4, SMF 1.1.11 and SMF 1.1.12 compatible.
Nice, great news. I want to snow up my forum default theme myself for Christmas. If folks don't like it, there is always other theme choices that will be snow free. :)
After a little work this morning, I am pleased to announce that all of the inputs are complete - and working. Just a couple things left, then an update and a backport :)
Just wondering if there has been anymore progress on the new version?
Hope to see it released soon.
Thank you for the SMF mods you create! 8)
Project Snow 1.1 is done, except for a couple missing input labels, and a handful of helptexts. I will also try and get it back-ported...thanks for the bump.
I have SMF 1.1.12, I changed the package-info.xml like you stated above, however, I am still getting an error when I am trying to install this mod stating that the mod is corrupt or not valid.

I would just wait for the new version to be finished and use it.
Anyway to get edit just a theme so it's not on every theme.
Of course. I'd suggest waiting for the next version though. It should be released shortly.
Nice, can't wai, bud.
for now i got an old html snow code in my global headers/footers.

This mod is exactly what we need with Christmas right around the corner. I hope this mod is out of beta soon, so i can finally use it safely on my SMF 1.1.11 forum. Thanks to the team for developing this!

Yogi - you should still have access to it's dev site. I've been singing that for weeks off and on when I decide to get some work done on it :P and it is complete except for some language stuff and 1.1 compatibility. I would have released it yesterday but am on vacation until Sunday.

You can configure the snow in the javascript file, the settings are at the top of the file & pretty self explanatory ;)
Thanks, Labradoodle. Have done. :)
What do you think? It also has permissions and a user setting

and works fine, thx for this mod ;)
Without a doubt, Project Snow 1.1 will be released within a week.
Now dozy here has got his password sorted - thanks Scottyboy :) - what I saw in that ACP is mind-blowing. Roll on next week. ;)
Haha glad to hear that! By the way, I saw a preview for your movie in the theater a while ago, how'd that go? ;)
Also, is mind-blowing a good thing? I also have some personal plans based on some comments for 1.2. Which very well may be early next year.

Oh yes, mind blowing (60's flower power slang here in GB) = fantastic, fabulous, super... :)
Yes, cryptic, v1.1 should work fine on RC3, RC4 and 1.1.12
The movie - ah, um, yes, er... :-[
I had been hoping to release Project Snow 1.1 today. After finally getting home, I was anxious to get it released.
However, I noticed a fairly large bug in the JavaScript itself that has a fairly large negative affect on SMF itself - Not just Project Snow. I am still hoping to get it released today or tomorrow; but not sure how long this bug will take to address.
Thanks for the patience.

I am so looking forward to having a real Christmassy looking forum.
same, i'm excited to see it gonna release soon

/me wonders what people would think about 1.1 being released TONIGHT?!
Edit: here is a preview of some of the controls.
holy, i see money dropping :o
That's called subliminal messaging. Someone is looking for donations. :P
Here is an update on Project Snow 1.1's development...
I finished my "Project Snow 1.1 'Beta'" which is my final test in which I assure the install and uninstall both work, as well as a clean error log, and settings work and so fourth; this is my last step in the development process before the actual release, so I was just about there.
After installing the Beta on a clean RC4, I noticed a bug in the Load code that I wrote many months back that made some of the toggles not do what they were supposed to. As I already had to re-write that section of the Load.php edit, I decided to clean up the rest, as my coding style has changed since it was originally written, and I've learned some new stuff that better optimized it.
In addition to completely re-coding the Load.php edit (which at my last count was 61 lines) I re-wrote some of the admin settings themselves, to help improve the settings and how they actually worked.
After 4 revisions, I finally have Project Snow 1.1 for RC3 and RC4 working completely error free, and fully optimized.
I do apologize that it's still not released, but as this bug was not expected, nor was I expecting to recode 61 lines of Load code, I figured that was more important than a non-stable, bugged version of 1.1.
However, we are still working hard to get this released before we head off for the night. We still have to work on back-porting this to SMF 1.1.12 along with mod documentation.
SMF Modders Co-Founder & Core Developer,

After 16 revisions it is now snowing on SMF 2.0 RC3, SMF 2.0 RC4, and SMF 1.1.12.
In the morning, screenshots will be taken and the readme will be updated then the release will be submitted for download.
whoop whoop
So, after so much time, is this mod out of beta yet and safe to be used? It's the 1st of December... high time for some snow!! :)
Edit: Labradoodle-360, i just read your replies above. If you need help to beta-test before you release 1.1, feel free to PM me. I am especially looking forward to the 1.1.12 compatible version.
Edit #2: My primary concern is how the snow effect will be generated? How much extra CPU and memory will this snow effect require? In the past, the snow effect php code that i used was very resource intensive so i had to disable that modification from my forum as many of members who had slower PCs complained of considerable slowdowns when visiting my forum.
I could have definitely used a beta tester last night. I was exhausted and hitting a lot of problems I shouldn't have been :P
But yes, it's finally done! ScottyBoy and I are just finishing up the readme and screenshots then it'll be released.

Edit: Labradoodle-360, i just read your replies above. If you need help to beta-test before you release 1.1, feel free to PM me. I am especially looking forward to the 1.1.12 compatible version.
I have completed the readme. In addition, Scotty and I have worked on fixing a couple of bugs we found still in 1.1 as of this morning which is why it's taking so long. I do believe we are down to one last bug before we're ready to submit it!
the excitement is killing me.................
Where Art Thou snow?
Shhh, cryptic, we can't rush these things. Have another sandwich from this pic-a-nic basket while we're waiting... ;)
But the BBc says we have lots of snow ;)
I would love a sandwich but I am on a diet.... I can have the filling but not the bread...
After hours, we FINALLY fixed the last bug - Which actually turned into quite a few! There were multiple things that needed to be fixed in the JS itself. Then I caught a couple coding issues in the Load code.
Scotty is taking screenshots, then we are packaging it up and submitting! :) Expect to see it within an hour on the SMF Mod site!
*Eudemon is eating sandwich and watching snow falling on the screen
nice job, Labradoodle-360
You mean the old version is working for you? We haven't uploaded the package to the mod site yet.
i downloaded the one that says update: today, on mod site
anyways i didn't install it
i was watching it at the source website
I know some of my "planned" release times have been thrown off. It will be out tonight, without a doubt, for SURE.
Some of these delays have been caused by things in my life needing to take priority to Project Snow, but most of the delays have been due to us finding more things to fix - Some being bugs, some being major things we considered enough to delay to fix.
Right now, I am waiting for Scotty to get back on, I need to look into one more thing with him, then it hits 1.1 public release.
relax, no need to rush
there is still a long way til Christmas
im happy to see it finally coming out
but im not that impatient ;D so take ur time
I think you're the first person to ever tell me that. Thank you for that. :)

I hope you all enjoy it. We put a ton of work into making this script customizable.

I thought the admin would be in themes and layout not permissions?
*Crowds gather again to pay homage to Labradoodle-360 and Scottyboy* :)
@ baptie & cryptic : which version of SMF are you using? In v2.0 the snow mod permissions are under Admin > Configuration > Modification Settings.
@ cryptic : it looks as though another mod is distorting your admin screen. Easy to say it now but can you remember the exact order in which you installed the packages?
If you think it's due to Project Snow then uninstall it, uninstall the other mods you want to get rid of then re-install Project Snow.

No not due to project snow it is something else that is causing the problem but gawd knows what..
Anyone care to point me in the right direction please..
Well looks like I have really xxxxxxxxxxxxx it up now
Anyone want to help me find my forum please...
OK I somehow got clever and have it back....
It needs work I am unable to do though so if someone could point me in the right direction I would be grateful.
cryptic, start a thread on 1.1.x or 2x support and we'll try to sort this.

if you can help..
Thanks
Thanks a lot for your efforts but... i am using SMF 1.1.11 and it comes up with this error:
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.
I checked the downloaded package and it is not corrupt. Can you please fix this? I do not want to upgrade to SMF 1.1.12 yet, as several of my modifications have been abandoned by their authors. :(
For 1.1 you should find the settings in Admin > Features and Options > Project Snow.
Regarding the permissions - All of the checks I have done on 1.1.12 with Project Snow 1.1 I have never encountered language string issues - But thanks for reporting that, and I assure you I will look into it shortly.
In regards to mods not uninstalling, Project Snow does not modify "Profile.php" (./Sources) at all, and that is one of the problems in that screenshot when you try to uninstall Aeva. Project Snow does modify Load.php, but it definitely should not be causing an issue.

There are multiple places in the Admin panel with Project Snow settings. Permissions being only one of them.
Yogi however is right. For 2.0 the main Project Snow configuration settings are in Admin > Configuration > Modification Settings > Project Snow. For 1.1 they are in Admin > Features and Options > Project Snow.

Project Snow is not compatible with 1.1.11 at this time - Mainly because of time and we were trying to get a stable 1.1 version released, but also because SMF 1.1 are now just bug fixes, so there is no reason to support old versions and encourage people to stay on them.
Unofficial Fix:
package-info.xml<install for="1.1.12"><install for="1.1.11, 1.1.12">(Extract Project_Snow_1.1.zip on your computer, complete the edit above in the included package-info.xml, then re-zip and you're done.)

If I am understanding you correctly, you should take a peak at the Load edit (by parsing the mod). All of the JS variables are controlled by $modSettings fields (Which are PHP - Obviously).

Cryptic - Here is a screenshot from our official 1.1.12 dev site for PS 1.1: http://prntscr.com/18tky
Would you please attach: ./Sources/ManagePermissions.php and I will look into it for you?
Labradoodle-360, thanks for your advice. I will try what you said with the package edit.
Your enthusiasm as well as YogiBear, is exemplary! The entire SMF team should be like that and maybe we'll have 2.0 final before 2011! :D
EDIT: Thanks a lot! It worked and installed perfectly on SMF 1.1.11
I am now testing the mod 1.1 and it looks great but there are a few things i'd like mention:
The settings should be such that when "Use Months To Snow" in unchecked, all the months below cannot be checked, that is, gray out all the check boxes in that case. That would make it more obvious and would avoid some people making the mistake of selecting a month and then forgetting to check "Use Months To Snow" and then reporting a problem with this mod.
Is there a browser that is preferred for this mod? I am using Firefox 3.6.12 and i see no "snow pile up" effect or "melt piled snow".
Could you please give more examples of what characters we could use for "Character For Snow". I tried the ¢ character provided, and it gives a nicer effect that the simple snow ball. And what character to use to get the snow crystal effect?
EDIT: After changing the "Character For Snow" to ¢ i can now see the "snow pile up" effect and "melt piled snow". I guess the default snow ball is too small to notice. :)
EDIT #2: Maybe you could also allow a small image to be used at the "Character for snow". I can't find a text character of the snow crystal, but i found small images of different types of snow crystals.
EDIT #3: After more searching, here is what i found to use as characters in the field "Character for snow":
Snow/Star:
⋆ ✢ ✣ ✤ ✥ ✦ ✧ ✩ ✪ ✫ ✬ ✭ ✮ ✯ ✰ ★ ✱ ✲ ✳ ✴ ✵ ✶ ✷ ✸ ✹ ✺ ✻ ✼ ❄ ❅ ❆
Flowers:
✽ ✾ ✿ ❀ ❁ ❃ ❋
Weather: sun, rain, snow, temperature:
☼ ☀ ❂ ☁ ☂ ☃ ☄ ☾ ☽ ❄ ☇ ☈ ⊙ ☉ ℃ ℉ ° ❅ ✺
You can select, copy and paste any of these, but use only one to retain that snow effect. I hope these will be useful to those using this mod.
EDIT #4: Oops! None of these text characters above seem to work, as they are converted after you hit the save button, to something like: ❄
I've just tested this via local host 1st installed and worked fine.
Though soon as I tried to install it on a live forum I got this error.

I used red snow because it's easier to see in screen shots, and because I wanted to show people the color could be changed. It doesn't have to be white.
Go ahead and install it - Despite that error, and then attach ./Sources/Admin.php and I'll manually do those edits for you.

First- Thanks for all the hard work put into this mod. I tried it out on a test forum and it works great and looks great too.
Unfortunately, I can't use it, but wish I could. I realize that source file edits are better than theme and template edits, and support that usually. I have 14 user selectable themes installed, and had hoped that I could use the snow on just the forum default and a Christmas theme installed. Everyone doesn't want to see the snow, so I do not want it forum wide. It seems that it is all or nothing though.
I am not complaining, just commenting. Thanks again for all the hard work. :)
This was suggested previously, and I would have liked to put that in 1.1, however, we didn't have enough time and were past our desired release date even as the basic featureset is concerned.
I can almost guarantee that you will see this in the next version. In addition, this may not be very hard to code manually, if you'd like to look into it?

Indeed, after I posted, I started thinking about it and decided to tear into it and see if I can manually do it. :)
I will get to it tonight sometime after I take care of pressing matters elsewhere. I will post back if I get some results.
If I had more time, I would look into it myself and give you a solution - As I'm going to need one for the next version anywho.
However, right now I am working on a fairly large project with Scotty for an upcoming mod! :)

Replace With

Then just remove all input from your "Snow Character" field, and that should work for you. The size can still be adjusted.

"-2" or "-1"

If I had more time, I would look into it myself and give you a solution - As I'm going to need one for the next version anywho.
However, right now I am working on a fairly large project with Scotty for an upcoming mod! :)
I went the way of a short term simple solution that is working very well on 2 different sites. One RC3 and one RC4.
I simply copied the snowstorm.js to the scripts folder for the theme I wanted snow in, then edited the theme's index.template.php by adding this code.
// forum snow
echo '
<script type="text/javascript" src="', $settings['theme_url'], '/scripts/snowstorm.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>'; right before the bit-
// Output any remaining HTML headers. (from mods, maybe?)I had to forgo all the admin controls, but editing the js file directly is sufficient enough for what I needed for this season.
I look forward to the next version for next year though. :)
The next version is coming next year?! :( That's a really long wait for a bug-fix release...
Hopefully they can do it sooner. There's still time before Christmas. :)
No, I did not mean that it would be a year before it is updated.
What I meant was I do not need the update for this season, what I have is sufficient, but will look at it again next year. ;)
I am releasing a minor bugfix tonight hopefully.
Not sure when the next version with new features will he released, although we have started development on two new projects that will take us a while.
I will say another modification that might be useful
to allow what pages you want the snow to show on
for me i'd like it just on the main page of the forum
as some of my members have complained about it because they couldn't read the posts
i thought it was great though and gets you in the spirit of Christmas
well done chaps a great mod :)
Well, to be honest...there are quite a few options that could be made. The settings page could be at least double what it is now.
And in reality, this is a quite small mod. - Snow.
Beyond theme control, and bugfixes - I'm not sure how much is left to do with this mod.

+1 :)
Also, we should have an additional option in all members' profile, such that if a member finds all the snow annoying then he/she can disable it in his/her profile individually, without affecting all the other members. That's very important, as an admin, i certainly do not want to impose a new feature on my members without having the option to disable it for those who want their screen to stay clear of snow.
/me thinks that is a great idea...which is why he added it for 1.1 :P Check "Profile" > "Look and Layout" ;)

I will say another modification that might be useful
to allow what pages you want the snow to show on
for me i'd like it just on the main page of the forum
as some of my members have complained about it because they couldn't read the posts
i thought it was great though and gets you in the spirit of Christmas
well done chaps a great mod :)

hi everyone,
thanks for the mod! really good job!
Could anyone please tell me how can I increase the time that the snow melts down? Default is 5 seconds, I like to change that to 15 secs.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance :)
But Labradoodle-360, i do not see the option to disable this mod in the look and layout section.
it's a dropdown called "Disable Project Snow".

OK, found it. BTW, it's not a drop-down, just a check-box. :)
Really? Some of the XML must have gotten messed up, my latest revision had it as a dropdown
Here is a screen-shot:
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg226.imagevenue.com%2Floc122%2Fth_94080_snow_122_122lo.JPG&hash=0907462ec49283c4cdfd9adb1de2c98b50d264db) (http://img226.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=94080_snow_122_122lo.JPG)
I think the check-box is much better, as it's easier in this case. A drop-down menu isn't very appropriate, as you basically have only 2 options: on or off.
If you have a 3rd or more options, then a drop-down menu would have been better to take less space on the page.
Could be different in 1.1 :P and thanks for your opinion, but mine is different
I installed this manually on RC3.
That's wonderful thanks you for this mod. it works well on RC3.
I'm really confused, because when i check the 1.1.11 parser, it shows the same edits as before all these updates were added. No profile/admin/etc.. template edits or nothing show in the package parser.
Where am i suppose to download the updated snow mod from? Cause the zips on the mod page don't seem updated according to the package parser.
i'm smf 1.1.11 & SMF 2.0 RC4
You should see "Project_Snow_1.1.zip" check that and click Parse Edits for your version of SMF.
Works fine in iPod Touch's Safari.
Doesn't stop when touching the page :)
Although it is slow.
I got my iPod Touch yesterday.
Has the project snow been updated already? That was fast! :)

in my forum this option is not available to members but only to administrators ???
any ideas on how can this be enabled to members as well ?
thnx
Can we also make it rain with this mod? If yes how?

OMG! Tass, you are right! This option is only available to admin. I had used admin account to set that option off for a few members as they were all complaining that they couldn't find that option in their profiles.
I just used a test account with regular permissions and i confirm this bug. No option visible to the non-admin members to turn off the snow.
Until this is fixed, i have disabled the Snow mod on my forums. Some of my members have also been complaining about higher CPU usage on their computers due to the Javascript used in the snow mod. Is there any way to fix that? Or reduce the CPU usage?
sharks i've been looking for a solution to that problem for an hour, but no luck :-\
probably someone will be able to help us to sort it out..

If you know the members who want to disable the snow effect, you must have admin access and then disable it in their individual profiles. The option is currently visible only to admin. It's an important bug as i have been thinking that my members couldn't figure out where to find that option, but this is different altogether, as the option simply isn't there!
Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I *believe* that the user-based on/off toggle is permission-based. So, make sure the person's group has permission to see the on/off toggle.
Quote from: Feature set from the readme- Permission - Select which membergroup(s) can turn their snow off or on.
- User Based Toggle - This allows members with the proper permission only to turn their snow off, or back on.
I believe it was made like this so Admins could make it a bonus feature for groups like Donors, though obviously, if you want to give it to all groups, feel free to do so. :)
Thanks for this insight, Ha². I have enabled the permission for "snow" for all my membergroups on the forum BUT that option is still not showing up in their profiles (except for admin)!! :( It is definitely a crazy bug. The snow modification on my forum cannot be enabled until this is fixed.
I do not appreciate people stating that there are "bugs" when they've
quite obviously not taken ANY time to check whether they are correct or not. You are very incorrect, and Ha
2 is correct. - In addition, you had no confirmation from a developer.
The user-toggle ability to turn snow off or on is permission based so that you can choose which membergroups can turn their snow off, or on in some cases.

You would want to change the color of the snow to a color that you feel looks like rain, and then change the snow character to something you feel also looks like rain.

Sharks - In response to CPU usage, take a peak at the helptexts. Some of the Project Snow settings either increase CPU usage or decrease, depending on what is entered.
There is always going to be some sort of CPU usage from this mod, as it is JavaScript. So you cannot completely eliminate it. You just have to play with the settings until you find a balance between CPU Usage and Snow :P
What is the default : Maximum Active Snow Flakes
How many flakes seems gross snowing?

Add me to the hate group then, I'm with Sharks. Admin can toggle snow in a members profile, members can't see a check box. Nor can I see a permission to allow it. 1.1.12 if curious.
Cool mod though :)
Rick
Confirmed on clean install of rc4- The user option to disable snow is there and works,
however- on 1.1.12, the option is not present to regular members, even though the permission is set. Admins can see and change the option when viewing regular member's profile, but that member cannot.
Default Active Snow:
64Default Total Snow:
128That is based on personal opinion, although I tend to do around double the default...sometimes more. Depends on speed.

There isn't a hate group in my mind at all. Here's the deal, when people state there are bugs? Other people see the claims that there are bugs, and may be worried about them, may uninstall Project Snow, or may even NOT download it because "there are bugs". So you should be able to understand why I do not like people claiming there are bugs.
Regarding this so called "bug" - It does not exist. I just triple checked the current package xml for 1.1, and it does contain the proper ManagePermissions.php edit which contains the permissions for Project Snow.
If someone would like me to look into this further, if they could PM me a link to their forum with a test admin account and it's login details and I'll take a peak.

Glad to know you finally found the problem. :)
I have tested this thoroughly myself, and i understood the reasons before claiming that there are indeed bugs in the 1.1 release.
Creating a mod such a this undoubtedly took a lot of work and time, and knowing that, i try to do my part and report any problems i might find, so that the mod can be fixed and eventually possibly perfected. It is not crying "bugs!" at a whim. I obviously wouldn't lose my time reporting anything about this mod, if i didn't care about it. ;)
How can I change picture of snow? For example I want to put a flag of my country or I want to show flower, rose and daisy during spring. Thanks

Funny project... and very nice... thanks!

Notice! This mod doesn't work with Explorer 8.
It does work with IE 8, however, when you click on the page it stops snowing.
No unfortunately I stopped snowing and it didin't snow at explorer 8
Thanks for the mod.
It works well however it does not seem to be working for IE Internet Explorer. Works perfect in Firefox but nothing shows in IE
EDITED
This works fine in IE. You just need to add the site to your Trusted Sites.
I have snow in both IE og Firefox...
Which one IE? this works with IE except IE 8. I explained it. Thanks.
This works firefox, Safari, Opera, IE all (except IE8) I tried no problem.
The permission problem is still not fixed. :( Members (other than admins) cannot turn off the snow in their profile.
Thanks for the mod but I need the language Spanish please.
Someone can help me?

Thanks for the mod but I need the language Spanish please.

Translate it?
That's what I did with SubAccounts when I needed Dutch :P
I would like to start by saying thanks for the amount of work that people have put into this mod. I am having some issues that I was hoping I might be able to get assistance with.
We run a small discussion forum currently using SMF version 1.1.12
A couple of the members had suggested this mod so I downloaded the
Project_Snow_v1.0.tar.gz and the
Project_Snow_1.1.zip from the following page;
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2356
First I tried to install the Project_Snow_v1.0.tar.gz file through the SMF Admin Control panel under Admin-->Packages-->Download Packages. The .tz file uploaded fine but when I went to Install the mod I got the following error:
Quote
Install Actions
Installations actions for "Project Snow":
The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.
I figured that perhaps I uploaded the wrong package and that .tz upload was the package for the SMF verson 2 so I tried the zip file
Project_Snow_1.1.zip and it uploaded fine. At first glance seemed to install without any hitches.
Quote
Installing this package will perform the following actions:

The package was installed successfully. You should now be able to use whatever functionality it adds or changes; or not be able to use functionality it removes.
Presto, we have snow on our forums.
As I went to tweak the settings I realized that there was a problem, as there was nowhere in the Admin Control Panel to adjust anything. I scoured the entire ACP with no sign of any settings. I searched these forums to see if I could locate where they should be. When I went into the "Features and Options" where everyone seemed to suggest the adjustments would be it was simply not there at all. All I had was
Basic Features, Layout & Options, and Karma. Not a mention nor any sign of the Project Snow mod.
I went into the Permissions and looked around in there and there was no settings or user settings to turn Project Snow on or off. There wasn't even that box with a blank description beside it as others have mentioned.
It was as if the mod installed and the snowstorm.js was running (snow was falling) but there were no control options, really wierd.
Anyway, after messing with it for an hour or so I figured maybe it was a bad install so I uninstalled the mod and the discussion forum went back to normal (no snow). I tried to re-deploy the mod per chance the first time it didn't install properly and another issue arose. It is snowing again on the board, however, I can't get to the "settings" to see if they work because now I get the following error when I click on "Features and Options"
Quote
Features & Options
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare manageprojectsnow() (previously declared in /home/*****/public_html/********/forum/Sources/ModSettings.php:373) in /home/****/public_html/*********/forum/Sources/ModSettings.php on line 452
If I uninstall the mod it uninstalls properly and the board goes back to normal, as well as the "Features and Options" returns to normal and no longer displays the error. So my forums are fine if I don't have the mod installed.
I did some further poking around and it has been suggested that error was related to the modsettings.php file becoming corrupted because of a bad uninstall. When I download and look at my modsettings.php file (even after completely uninstalling the package) I see a whole bunch of remaining code from the package. I guess that is why I can not reinstall the mod.
I will try to attach the modsettings.php file to see if anyone could point to the offending code. Perhaps we can edit the file to remove whatever seems to be causing the offense.
Remember, this is what the file looks like after the Project_Snow has been uninstalled. I'm hoping to get the file back to pre-installation state so that I can try to deploy the package again.
Thanks for any help anyone might be able to offer.
I have saved the modsettings.php file as a .txt file for ease.
Look in your packages folder for a subfolder named backup. Within that folder you will find a file with a date- example- 2010-12-02_before_Project_Snow_1.tar.gz
Download that file and uncompress it. Within that archive will be a backup copy of all the files that were edited by the mod installation. They will all be in their original state immediately BEFORE the mod installation.
You can then find the file you need and upload that file to replace the one that the forum is using now.
Thanks for the idea.
Unfortunately when i look in that backup folder the only file I see is index.php dated 2007.

...weird. You can't have a file that's older then the SMF version; all files are overwritten when upgrading/installing.
Upload the upgrade files.
Edit: After looking into it, the file looks like it's in order. Would you please try uninstalling the mod and then reinstalling it? Make sure to use Version 1.1.
Sorry for being a pain.....
Labradoodle; That is the file AFTER I uninstall the mod, so somehow the Project_Snow mod left all of that behind on the uninstall.
I have already tried uninstalling & reinstalling the mod (several times now). At a glance i seems to install fine, however, I get that error

Yoshi;
What do you mean by "upload the upgrade files" Which upgrade files?
and yes, the date on the index.php file in the /forum/packages/backups directory or folder is dated September 27, 2007 @ 12:00:00. It is the only file in that folder.
I don't have any other mods installed. If I can clean the modsettings.php file back to the way it was prior to the install of Project_Snow I can try to redeploy the mod. Is the modsettings.php file a pretty generic file if you don't have any mods installed? Maybe I can try replacing it with a clean file.
Can I just delete the modsettings.php file? Will it rebuild itself upon another install of Project_Snow or will that really mess up the forum?
Go ahead and install Project Snow 1.1 then and then attach ModSettings.php and I will take care of it for you.

Ahh.... I get you. You figure it might be different than the one that I previously attached after I uninstalled the mod.
Here is the file AFTER I install the mod (from about 5 mins ago).
Once again the php extension renamed to txt
{edit}
I see, there is 78 lines of duplicated code in the modsettings.php file after reinstalling the mod. Lines 372 to 449 (starts on line 372 at // SMF Modders; Project Snow
function ManageProjectSnow($return_config = false)
and then the entire block of code is repeated again starting on line 451.
{/edit}
Now at least I see why I'm getting the error........
Here you are! ;D
Thanks Labradoodle.
I see what was happening, that lines 372-449 were repeated again on lines 451-528. I have uploaded that modified file and now I no longer get the error message when I click on "Features and Options".
The forum now has snow, however I still don't have any way of being able to control it, which was the reason why I uninstalled it in the first place...........lol.
Here is a screenshot of what I see when I go into "Features and Options". I was expecting to see something in there where I could adjust the snow settings.
Thanks for your help with the modsettings.php file.
Are you using UTF-8?
Lemme check, as I really don't know what UTF8 is.
Ah, yep, it would appear so. Under Server Settings Language --> English-Utf8
Is that good or bad? ???
It's not really either.
Go ahead and attach: ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications-UTF8.english.php
Man, I feel really bad you spending all this time on this.
I found the file you mentioned. It hasn't been altered since Sept 25, 2007. The modifications.english.php seems to be the file that was modified today. I'll attach both just in case. Also, two other files in that same folder called Help.english and project-snow.english were modified today.
Ah that's right. My bad. I now put my labels in Modifications so I don't have to Load the custom language file every time the label is called.
Try duplicatiing Project-Snow.english.php and renaming the copy Project-Snow.english-utf8.php
Wow!!!
Downloading the file Project-Snow.english.php and renaming it to Project-Snow.english-utf8.php and re-uploading it worked perfectly.
Project Snow now shows up in the Features and Options.
Thanks so much for your help and patience. :)
:thumbup
Not a problem. Glad you got it going alright :)
Best Regards!
So you know; there is a known bug in the PS 1.1 version for SMF 1.1 series. And this most likely will not be fixed because we are planning on dropping 1.1. series support for all of our mods because 2.0 is close to hitting final.
SMF Modders; Co-Founder & Core Developer,
Labradoodle-360
Well, I'll look forward to upgrading to 2.0 soon thereafter provided it is a fairly simple process to upgrade rather than a 'redo from start'.
Thanks again for your help.
Installed this mod on SMF 1.1.12 and it works great! Thanks!
I was wondering if there is a way to have it load on pages that call SSI.PHP, so for those that have their SMF forum integrated with a site, it would snow on the site pages as well. Is it possible to do this without major rewriting? Like, could a call be made to the function in load from the SSI?
Thanks again
You could try to add the code from Load.php to the BOTTOM of SSI.php and see if that works. Very good idea though, I think I may include that in the next bugfix.
Although in the next version SMF 1.1. support will be dropped.
Works fine, nice mod for these day's ;)
Thx

It worked. Thanks. You just need to make sure the $context['html_headers'] gets printed in the header of the normal site pages.
I have talked with Scotty a little bit, and we will most likely shoot out a quick update before Christmas, with at least bugfixes and an SSI.php function.
A function being the better way to go about it rather than using $context['html_headers'].
Thanks for the input and great suggestion!
Not a problem. Glad you like it! :)

Hi m8 wonder if you can help me with a little problem I have since using this mod.
I have uninstalled it not because I wanted to a few of my forum members were moaning about it, don't know why think there all just scrooges.
Anyway since I uninstalled it I kept getting the same error
Warning: require(/mounted-storage/home85b/sub009/sc44649-OJOJ/forumurl/cache/data_45aca52f907fabf38ab851b028ab80bd-SMF-modSettings.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mounted-storage/home85b/sub009/sc44649-OJOJ/forumurl/Sources/Load.php on line 2918

I have actually requested help for this in here, but had no help at all with it.
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=413265.0
Theres 2 php files in there which I have modified myself I removed a few lines and I haven't had that error anymore upto now anyway...but I still get the Unable to load the 'Project-Snow.english' language file when I have error loggin turned on, but I have turned if off for now because I was getting the same error over and over.
Can you have a look at those 2 php files I have uploaded please see if there ok, I don't know if you need any other file but if you do please say so.
Thanks for any help Lord Alibaski.
Download the latest Project Snow Package, extract it's contents, and upload Project-Snow.english.php to ./Themes/default/languages of your forum. See if that works.
Yes but doing this m8 is putting the Project-Snow.english.php back in there which is something I don't want to do I want it all removed.
Why is the error pointing to this when the package has been removed!!
Did you try clearing your error log and seeing if they still show up?
Quote from: Labradoodle-360 on December 15, 2010, 01:59:09 PM
Did you try clearing your error log and seeing if they still show up?
Yeah m8 this is the main problem.
I clear the log and 2mins after there is about another 50 errors all the same pointing back to the missing project snow language file, so I turn it off. Though soon as I turn it back on it reappears again coming back with the same error.
I have also ran repair_settings.php and it brings up no errors.
My friend told me it might have to be cleared via mysql manually but now I removed line 2918 which was the major issue, this project snow language file problem is nothing so I might just leave error logs turned off and hopefully things will be fine.
Do the reverse of [Manual Installation of Mods] (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=402.0)
very nice
Pinkel just does not work for me
but everything else no problems
just a better image to use
so you can use a leaf in autumn
petals in summer
and hearts on Valentine's Day
etc.
think about that next update
but already a big thank you from my side
Previously I have considered developing a forum weather mod. Now that I know enough to, I doubt I will. Thanks for supporting Project Snow, though! :)

ik heb even gekeken op jouw forum
en zelfs de sneeuw ziet er heel anders uit
nice
you can google those characters
some language input bars have these characters too
just copy and paste it, it works
thanks for the tip ;)
I LOVE IT, thanks
hey nice mode..but still i can say that previous snow project is much better than new snow project...
is there any way to make old one compatible with 1.1.12 please????
Actually, there is not one way Project Snow 1.0 is better than 1.1.

Hopefully someone can explain how to fix that critical bug (no option to turn off the snow by individual members, other than admin) from snow 1.1 as the developer has unfortunately given up on the millions still using the predominant SMF 1.1.x branch.
Is the old snow mod available for download? Please attach the file. Thank you.
First of all, an easy way to remove that would be to simply remove the permission aspect of it from Load.php.
However, it should be a fairly easy fix. I just have no motivation to continue supporting 1.1, and neither do the rest of the SMFM Team.
Hello labster.
Gentlemens and ladietypes...I have a workaround for this issue.

Under /Themes/default/Profile.template.php in your Themes folder, replace
<!-- SMF Modders; Project Snow -->';
if (($context['snow']['can']['disable']) && (empty($modSettings['disable_snow'])))
with this
<!-- SMF Modders; Project Snow -->';
if ((allowedTo('project_snow')) && (empty($modSettings['disable_snow'])))
This does not solve the bug, but rather works around it. It does still allow you to control permissions. It is not elegant, but I have confirmed it works for 1.1.12.
If you have custom themes, make sure to change their Profile.template.php pages as well.

He says the older version can't be better.
actually the main reason im saying that older version is better is...the new version is making my forum little bit slow..i mean when snow fall is going on,my forum is becoming slow lill bit..is there any way i can prevent this??
Yes, by changing the snow settings in your admin panel to lower than default numbers. For more guidance, read each fields helptext, as they are quite detailed.
And so you know, PS1.1 and PS1.0 are identical setting wise right out of the box.

Will it include fixes for SMF 1.1.12?
Probably.
when i installed there was a problem in the Admin.php, so I edited it nd added 'after' the phrase. After installation, i cant access Admin > Configuration > Modification Settings any more. Please help me out!!!
Attach Admin.php please. Also reverse the edit you made.
Just wanted to add, I have a client stuck on rc2 and it installed no issue after emulating rc3. Seems to work with no issues, props to the team that made this.
I do believe that I checked the code for RC2, as it doesn't change to RC3 for the edits that PS makes, but due to our team guidelines, we are only supporting the latest two versions (RC3 - RC4) so the "official" support for RC2 with Project Snow was dropped.
Glad you like it!
SMF Modders Core Developer & Co-Founder,
Matthew K
Is it safe to emulate from rc2 to rc3? My other mods are for smf rc2 so i worry not to break my forum if i emulate. There is no option to emulate a specific mod.
Project Snow 1.1 should work with SMF 2.0 RC2, SMF 2.0 RC3, and SMF 2.0 RC4. In addition to SMF 1.1.10, SMF 1.1.11, and SMF 1.1.12. Although we only technically support "SMF 2.0 RC3, SMF 2.0 RC4, SMF 1.1.11, SMF 1.1.12".
It says: The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.
Thats why i ask if is safe to use the emulation.
Yeah - It always says that, unless it's in the XML, which it's not in this case, but emulation will work for ya :)
Where is the snow picture? Which file is in it? I want to cahange it. Thanks
I suggest you read through the documentation, in addition to checking out your forums admin panel. It's not controlled by an image, it's controlled by an HTML Special Character - Which can be changed in the Admin panel.
Well, it's the eve of Christmas and i guess that means you'll miss your target deadline to release the fixed & updated snow project. :(
Quote from: By myselfWe will hopefully have it released by Christmas, but not sure how it will go.
You mean you're late providing work related to this mod for the second year running? :/
Nope! We released 1.1 a while ago.
Yet only two posts up you're talking about being late releasing an updated/fixed version...
Yeah, and I never gave a specific deadline besides "hopefully by Christmas".
Wow...some of you act like you paid for this mod or something.

It should work fine if you have UTF-8 languages installed.
QuoteIt should work fine if you have UTF-8 languages installed.
Needs to actually be a UTF-8 forum rather than just installing UTF-8 languages.

You asked us to fix your Admin.php...and I did just that :)
Your control panel should work again.

Anyway, I fixed a little error in your file too... ;)
I am sorry I changed users.
I have answered to the user Hack-King :-)

I ran the covert all characters to utf but it still doesn't work how do i install the utf language files?
thanks
when i copy and paste this is what pastes it is html code
☃
I installed the language pack
what am i doing wrong
You should wait for a response of labradoodle...
It should work though..
Here is the "official" response - Sorry for the delay.
Project Snow uses a PHP function called htmlspecialchars which is applied to the output of whatever is inputted to the Snow Character field. I think this is also causing another similar issue, although I have not had time recently to review a fix.
For those wanting to test a possible solution, I would suggest removing htmlspecialchars() from the Load.php edit where Snow Character is added to the JS. Although I cannot guarantee that'll fix the issues until I look at it.
Is there a reason for using that vs $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars'] ? If you are using htmlspecialchars, are you giving it the right compatibility and character set settings, particularly for UTF-8?

I had no problems with this and my members loved it with the theme I had..great job.
ok, I just reinstalled my site files and the problem is now seized. Thank you guyz anyway, http://daystarlet.co.cc/
Very cool modified
Thank you tomeh! :) Glad you like it.
I don't understand how to set this to work in a special element. How do I do that`?
Click the helptext
Looks nice mate :)
Cant believe there are soo many mods I have not seen before lol, including this.
Nice to be able to see your progress.
Good job :)
Wow, you've not seen this before? I wrote it an extremely long time ago!
Thanks for checking it out :) I have some better stuff in the works.
Hello Labradoodle.
Thank you for this your very nice mod.
One question.
How can I updated version 1 to version 1.1?
Are the changes in the files or can I replace only "snowstorm.js" file?
Thank you
Not a problem.
There are quite a few changes in 1.1, more so than snowstorm.js, I'd suggest parsing the mod for SMF 2.0 RC3, and seeing what was changed.
OK Thank you :-)
No problem. It shouldn't be too tricky to back-port. Depends on how much SMF you know...
is there no way to have a custom image fall in place of the snow in 1.1, like the 1.0 version had? I can't seem to get version 1.0 readded back on my site.
There is, and I do believe at one point I actually did it for the heck of it. But it's not exactly easy to accomplish iirc. Involves editing snowstorm.js mainly.
yeah, i would fail in that department. Any way to make the snow multicolored, like 3 different colors? i really hope so.
but, i been watching the progress of this since december, and it's come a long way, and you did an amazing job, especially with all the customizable features in the admin page.
I do believe we got it out before Christmas, didn't we?
Scotty and I put a fair amount of time into making sure everything was customizable and changing some things. Thanks for the kind words.
Multicoloured snow - Not possible.
I am grateful to Labradoodle-360 for his hard work on this mod, however if memory serves correctly, there was a huge issue with this mod which forced me to uninstall it. The problem was a missing setting (not visible to the common membergroup, other than admin) where a member could choose to disable the snow if he/she wanted to from profile settings. So, has that been fixed?
Was this for the 1.1x branch of SMF or 2.0x branch?
Quote from: Labradoodle-360 on May 03, 2011, 12:52:26 PM
Was this for the 1.1x branch of SMF or 2.0x branch?
I tested it on 1.1.x branch and it didn't work. Please don't tell me you don't support the 1.1.x line anymore. :)
The bug in the 1.1x branch of Project Snow will not be resolved, I apologize.
Thank you for the wonderful mod! I thought I'd let everybody know that when I updated my forum from 2.0 RC5 to 2.0 Gold, I had to reinstall all my mods. This mod installed without issues using 2.0 RC4 emulation. Hope this info helps someone!
Can you tell me for mod "Project snow" is that working on a version forum SMF 2.0.1 ?
Try what the previous poster did.
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/How_can_install_a_mod_that_doesn%27t_work_in_my_SMF_version
This mod is going to be highly requested at this time of the year, till end of December. I really hope someone talented is willing to take over and fix/improve this project, as it's obviously been abandoned.
I hope so! :)
Wow, way to jump to conclusions huh. Where the HECK did you pull that crap out of?

I actually wanted to reply to that statement , as well. I think he was just upset that you're not updating 1.1.x branch or something. according to this post. http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=358989.msg3034260#msg3034260
I'm looking forward to using this MOd again for the holidays :) I just can't find my old winter theme we had, after upgrading to 2.0 final, i forgot to keep it lol, so gotta go make another one.
Probably, although now that SMF 2.0.[0-1] is out, there's no real point in updating the old versions.
Especially since Project Snow 2.0, will hopefully be a complete re-write.
Well, it's about time again, for Project Snow to be updated.
This will most likely be a full re-write (jumping from 1.x. to 2.0), and so I would like to add some cool new features, besides a complete re-code and a nice admin interface.
Are there any ideas of what could be added that would be helpful or cool to have? I'd like to get writing this tomorrow, so the sooner you post, the better chance it'll make it in our next version.
The features you had before were great. Especially allowing members permission to turn on/off. My request is that snow is theme selectable. Some themes I don't want snow to appear on.
Ah, that's a good idea; something I completely forgot about, although I'm glad you brought it up.
I started developing Project Snow 2.0 last night.
Here are my plans to this point:
- Rewritten Administration Panel
- Use of jQuery
- Inline Helptext / Field Descriptions
- New Fields (ie. Member Customization | Theme Based Snow)
- New Member Customization Options (ie. the ability to change the colour of their snow, and theirs alone. With server performance security throttles in place [members cannot overload the server with too much snow])
- Rewritten & Optimized Output
- SMF 2.0.99 Support
Only thing that concerns me is the member customization options. But if you say you're coding in limitations to that then it should be ok. some of those options I'll probably edit out; but I do like them being able to change the color, pretty pro.
I'm not quite sure how I want to set up the member customizations yet.
The ideal situation would be to set up "templates" based on membergroups, almost like the permissions system so that you could allow different membergroups to change different options, although I'm not sure how much time I want to put into it.
To be quiet honest, just allwoing members to turn on/off snow is good enough for me. Not sure about others, but I'm not picky and don't see the need for you to try and put more into the MOD than it really needs. Plus you know members will be begging for this the more and more it gets closer to the holidays trying to rush you lol
I have set the snow to settle at the base of the forum yet none settle.
(Shame my new themes bottom is white lol).
Haha, nice!
Hi,
Is there any sign of the V2 update for this?
Just one point I have noticed with the current version, using the X-Mas and SMF Curve themes.
It works OK with SMF 2.0.1 but when using IE9 as the snow falls outside the perimeter of the screen it makes the scroll bars at the side and bottom jump around therefore making the screen jump too.
Has anyone else noticed this and if so have you fixed it?
I know there are lots of people who use Firefox etc but there are also a lot who still use IE so maybe a check for IE9 before posting the new version would be an idea...at least it would save all those emails about bugs ;)
Thanks
Quote from: davejo on December 02, 2011, 08:52:07 AMHas anyone else noticed this and if so have you fixed it?
Not the exact same problem. But I have noticed when using scroll bars on the forum ( like drop downs when moving a topic) the scroll bar doesnt scroll, it keeps jumping back up. and didnt notice it until recently, so it probably is cause of the falling snow.
Any news about new version? :)
Well, the last Project Snow version works with 2.0-2.0.99 using version emulate, I just finished a new mod yesterday which I submitted, so I may yet finish the update shortly.

UP
... 10 days... O:)
Also waiting...
As version emulate has it working on SMF 2.0.1, I decided to hold off for a while, as it can already do a TON (on the latest version) and I have other important things to attend to.
Alright guys, you heard the developer, we can close this topic and reopen it at the end of 2012. :D
OK :D
Yes, I was hopeful to use this again this year. But as of right now I cannot get it to work with the 2.0.1 even using the emulation step previously mentioned in this chain. Any ideas from anyone?
More details on what's going on maybe? What's happening?
It works fine. Look on my site.
Error log?
Install error?
Sorry ... I get the following when trying to install.
1. Execute Modification ./Sources/Admin.php Test failed
1. Add After ./Sources/Admin.php Test failed
2. Add After ./Sources/Admin.php Test successful
All other areas look fine.
If I continue it doesn't show up anywhere as far as being installed or any options in admin area.
Install it then attach your Admin.php
doesn't work for me.
says it's corrupted or not compatible
I'm running the latest version.
That's why you use Version Emulate...it'll work.
okay, Thanks!
Awesome job ;) :) ;) thanks you very much :)
Here is my admin.php ... I see project snow in it.
Appreciate any help.
Well I added the following to the admin.php:
// SMF Modders; Project Snow
loadLanguage('Project-Snow');
// End SMF Modders; Project Snow
and I now have the options available under the Modification Setting sections in the admin section, however still no snow.
what is the link to your forum?

Did you check your settings?
QuoteMove the included file "snowstorm.js" to "./Themes/default/scripts".
you also need to move this script to other custom themes, If i remember correctly. Or it'll only snow on the smf default curve theme. Check the SMF Default Theme and see if it's snowing there.
checked the settings ... i'll check the default theme
I'll check on the scripts as well. Thanks for your help thus far and I'll let you know if it works or not.
Well I copied the scripts over to the other theme as well as tried on the default theme. Still not working for me at this time. Thanks for all the ideas.
Just wanted to say that since this seems to only not work for me if I have some time I am going to re-install my simple machines and all themes from scratch. Maybe there is something that is corrupt somewhere. I have no idea. Thanks again for all the help and ideas.
Go ahead and attach ./Sources/Load.php and maybe I can assist you without your having to redo everything.
Before I started my reload I checked with my provider and I think why it isn't working. They no longer support Java Servlets on my hosting company and unless I'm seeing something wrong this uses Java Servlets.
Sorry for all the trouble and I do appreciate everyone's help and I guess I should have checked with them prior. It was just that it worked last year so I assumed it would work this year.
It doesn't use Java, it uses JavaSCRIPT completely different.
Ok. Just thought maybe that was the reason. Well here is my Load.php then if you can still help.
Looks fine to me. Can you screenshot the settings page?
Sure ... Here you go.
Last section about the months couldn't fit on the page. But they are all currently checked.
I'm going to send you a PM regarding your issue, so I can continue to look into it for you.
Appreciate it ...
I figured out your issue and replied to the PM, I'll need FTP access to fix it for you.
Thanks for your support Labradoodle. I enjoyed this mod last year and I do appreciate you taking the little extra time to assist in getting this working for me this year!
Not a problem, glad you like it :)
Eventually, I'll rewrite it again, but I don't see a very big need for it right now since it should work using Version Emulate.
Who would be interested in seeing Project Snow v2.0 before Christmas this year?

Yes please :)
Count me in.
Can we have some of the snowflakes colliding with each other and causing mass hysteria with the forum posts? Thought not :o
Any feature / change requests for a short next version? I was working on an HTML5 Native Support framework modification which would be the base of the next full version for color pickers and other cool HTML5 / jQuery inputs. But with my schedule I won't have enough time to finish both in a reasonable time.
I'd love to release a small version with some updates if there are any thoughts.
As long as it has the basics I don't mind.
• Enable/Disable the mod.
• Change the speed of the snow.
• Enable/Disable accumulation of snow off the bottom of the page.
• Enable/Disable the tracking of the snow in the direction of the mouse.
These are what I would say are basics ;)
I have removed
• Change the color of snow.
• Change the design of the snow.
for me these are not necessary.
Oh, well it would have everything the last version did, for sure. But is there anything else that's relatively simple or small that I can add? Along with the latest version compatibility?
Could you make it so it stops snowing when I'm driving?
Hmm..
Thought not :o
:P That wouldn't be much fun
Can you make this compatible with 2.0.2 please?
It is using version emulate
It said it isnt compatible with my version.
What did you set version emulate to?
Okay.. I tried another browser and it worked.
However, once it installed, I couldnt open modification settings. I thought it broke my forum, but it only showed the error message when I tried to open modification settings
What is the error? Make sure Evaluation of Templates is disabled in Server Settings.

Excellent!! :D It's been a heavily requested update for a long long time! Thanks!
thx so much for the long awaited update - it works - but I've one question : How do i get the flakes over the whole page? They always run in the background - or is this not possible? If it is, which params I've to set in the admin area?
thx for advising me.

Greetings! What a wonderful Mod especially for the holiday season. I find it to be a nice touch for those visiting the site and one day instead of many just guesting they will join. Thus giving them the permission to turn it off for registred users is an awesome idea :)
Just a silly question, maybe I have something set up wrong? On our site, there are some topics very long in nature. Each message is quite large in some, for example: Vist here to see my explanation in action (http://divinemercy.heavenboundministry.com/friends/index.php?topic=275.0#lastPost). The snow starts in a few seconds of arrival to the topic and works great. But if someone scrolls to quickly -- like say to the next message, it seems that the snow eventually or never arrives.
Could you take a peak and assist me and help me find my error.
Thank you so much and once again, Merry Christmas and a safe holiday season to all.
William

It actually uses a text character, not an image. Configuring an image would be difficult, however, there is a setting in the admin panel that allows you to change what character is used.

There is a z-index setting in the admin panel which is what controls the layering of the snow in correspondence to your forum. Beyond the z-index (if that's correct) you can also only have the snow be applied to a certain element(s), which could also be what it's doing, depending on what settings you have applied.

Hi, I am using IE8. Tested it out in firefox and it behaves nicely! It is hard to part with ole faithful but having XP it won't upgrade no more...

Unfortunately, I do not directly support snowstorm.js, just the bridge / modification itself.
I'm using ADK Snow Effect 1.0 and cant get a realist snowflake. I've tried several different codes for the flake and none of them work for a realist flake..... any suggestions?
Currently using the "*" and it displays the flake as a 5 point star.
TIA

Greetings all,
Merry Christmas to all, only less than 2 days to go. Maybe for once we may get real snow this Season.
I was entering a message and as always went to preview the message before posting and all I got was Fetching Preview... and nothing. I have my original help message (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=493298.0) in the 2.0 support and someone had mentioned it could be a javascript interference with this awesome mod I have installed? Not sure if that is the case, but best to come here and place my plea for help.
Thank you so much.
Be safe this Holiday Season
William

Be glad to help. Here is a little info I answered to a previous Post. Though I am quite happy with this MOD.
This is what I use for our site: ❅ Just copy and then paste into the character field. You can see it here at: Visit here. To see Snowflake (http://www.divinemercystpauls.com/friends/). We are a prayer group just using our site as a demonstration of the unicode snowflake character hex code is:
❅The Character itself can be copied and pasted in this mod as well.
❅William
when I paste the character or the code just the code number appears not a flake
When you paste the code, are you putting in the semicolon as well? Seems to me, I had to put the code into the .js file and the semicolon is needed as well. There are three different scripts that use a .js file and not the nifty admin panel this mod gives you. If you are using project snowflake, simpliest was in admin is just to paste the seen character and it works like a champ. If you have to go into the I think its called snowflake.js file, you will need to enter the entire hex code with the semicolon.
William
I'm on vacation so my reply will be limited for the time-being.
- I doubt that JS error comes from Snowstorm, if it does, you'll have to contact the JS script author (check credits) as I only wrote the SMF integration portion.
- I appreciate the comments about the nice admin panel, eventually I want to expand it when HTML5 is more widely supported with their input fields so I don't have to write my own framework to bring global browser support.
- As William already stated, you can add either the actual character OR the entity to the admin panel (Character to Snow) and it should work, as also stated make sure to include the trailing semi-colon.
Best Regards,
Labradoodle-360
I really love the fact this has been the "Featured Mod" on the mod site page for the entire summer :D
Lab_360 is too pro as always! :)
The featured customizations very rarely ever change...if ever. No one does it :P But...when I was on the Customization team, right after I wrote this, I got permission to add it to the list. Call it bias if you want :P
In admin, we can insert character for snow --- * --- for instance then change size. Is there anyway to insert a small jpg for other holidays or using a dingbat font to insert a character that way?
I remember using this once when it was just there and no way to turn it off for some and really love this new feature. Thus I would love to have it be used most of the year thru various holidays or just having like fairy dust since our forum is fantasy.
As of now, there is no easy way to change the specific character to an image. This may be included in the next version. I was hoping to write an update before Christmas, but on top of finals, I've been extremely sick for the past few weeks, so school is now that much more important. I will try to pump this one out before it stops snowing where I'm from :)
Sweety you take care of you primarily, without you around who gonna help the others make mods for us to play with.
I love that you added the part to turn it off per member and it would be great to be able to use a small graphic or two, like a snowflake, christmas present or tree or Santa---or other holidays like Valentine's, St. Patrick or my favorite Halloween...LOL
but that can wait until you get better.
Thanks
Originally, when I first wrote the modification, it was simply implementing a snow effect, on top of SMF. The updated version was intended to not just lay the snow script on top of SMF, but it was designed to implement a lot of the manipulatable JavaScript variables to SMF so that the settings already available would be easy to change on an SMF installation.
Back then, I didn't know JavaScript very well at all. I could play with it and we could be friendly, but I wasn't able to do much. Now, that has changed. At one point, I had tried to use an actual image rather than a character, but it would've required actual changes to the snow script on a much deeper level than just tweaking a variable or two. This should be something that I can accomplish much more quickly now. So I'd definitely look into this for an update.
Right after developing Project Snow, I worked with another developer on making a "Forum Weather" modification that would have snow, rain, leaves and other such effects available to your forum. Unfortunately however, it was dropped pretty quickly due to no one being able to write the JavaScript for me.
Yup that would do it...LOL :-*
All I do is copy/paste info given to me on editing and fixing files so I think it is great to do things like this. :)
great mod, i was wondering could it be used to have hearts falling for Valentines day?
if so how would i go about it *S*
many thanks for sharing your skills

I asked oo cause I thought it would be great to use for other seasons too. Unfortunately not yet though but I think he is working on it. My zen cart store has a snow effect too and all I have to do is add any little image I want and name it snow.gif to overwrite the other one.
Dark Angel, i was about to post, opps sorry its been asked for, i didnt see the last few posts.
its a great mod, i thought it would make the days up to Valentines Day more fun on our forum

we are almost one year further... I also want to have the possibility to change the character for 1 or more small images. Has there been any progress or when can we expect that change?
I live in the Netherlands and in the beginning of December we have an event called "Santa Claus". Everybody here knows Santa Claus and his Black Peters. So I would like to have falling down (in stead of snow) small pictures of Santa Claus and Black Peter.
Before the forum was running with vBulletin and they had such a mod (js based). If you want I can send you that js file.
Hi Friends,
I just discovered Project Snow, and quite enjoy it. I haven't been able to read the whole 22 pages of messages, but from what I've read, it seems excessive cpu use seems to be a known issue.
I'm wondering if anyone has either figured out the kind of cofiguration that goes easiest on visitors' cpu, or even just stumbled upon it?
I'm rather known for having a good deal of patience, and don't give up easy on a problem, if it's something I really want. But I've spent a few hours daily, over the last week or so, trying to find some kind of balance that allows a nice gentle snowfall, but doesn't cause my computer fan to run constantly.
I have not found any acceptable configuration. So I'm wondering if anyone else has?
I actually have had to uninstall it, for the time being, and I can't remember the name of the setting that was a trade off between cpu use and the speed of the snowfall. But best setting I found for that was 50. But maybe if there was a way to understand how the various options affect each other, it would help to discover that optimum balance.
Unfortunately, it seems to be entirely a matter of trial and error. Isn't there some way to make sense of it all?
Thanks for your help :)
The best feature to me on this mod unlike the other versions....is that in admin you can choose to turn it off for any month not wanting the snow, and the most important thing----allow members to turn it off in their profiles for those with slower machines or that do not want it to snow.
Ii had to remove mine cause of server issues but now it won't install with version 2.0.9 of SMF, too bad cause I do want it still.
Thanks DarkAngel. Yes, I'm aware of those options. But if members have to disable it, to prevent the heavy cpu use, what's the point of installing it?
It's working for me on 2.0.9, but if there's some conflict, maybe that's exaggerating the cpu issue?
It's working for me on 2.0.9 too.
Yes for the forums I have that had it previously installed prior to the upgrade to 2.0.9 the mod still works but for the few that I had to totally upload fresh files for it does not wish to behave.
It claims to have errors in installation (I checked and it seems some text is not quite what it was), can't remember right now what it says. Tried installing it first before any other mod and still the error.
I tried manually editing since it did snow but the admin controls and individual members being able to turn it off/on were not available either.
Having this installed gave me 3 errors in the error log any time some one accessed their profile and 3 more when they went back to the forum itself. This got much worse when I enabled the group permissions. It's odd since none of the errors affected any obvious forum functionality. The cpu usage though is a major problem as it would create havoc with members' browser scrollbars, etc.
Unless I missed an update inbetween pages did you try emulating 2.0.3 to see if it has functionality then ?
Unless I misunderstand emulation, the mod installs fine. It just causes a few problems once installed.

I was wondering if the emulation handles the requests different so in darkangel612s case the functions are not broken and in yours steve the errors are not generated. I used to use this a while back on a gaming forums but cant really recall the code side.
What kind of errors is it throwing up ?
I will have to re-install and get back to you. May take a day or two due to that d*mned thing called real life. :P
Still works for 2.0.11
Installed just before, no issues.
