Snow Flakes (Or What) :D

[glc]

Ok, I want on my forum on the occasion of Christmas, New Year holidays put some little things that I would get a Christmas atmosphere
That means I wanted since I have seen in a couple of forums, to put the snow flakes that fall on the forum ... You know what I'm talking abouth ...

and where I could not get the flakes to be put to the forum

Follow those instructions. You will have to edit the forum template files, but that's not too hard. You can do it! If you run into any problems, let me know.

tny again

[Doc.Blade]

which file(s) in particular do you need to edit?

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer

Doc

[Doc.Blade]

I have tried this on the index.template.php file for my theme, and keep getting parse errors.

Not sure if this code works with the current version of SMF.  Anyone got anything that works, or got this one to work?

I am using SMF 1.1.7 and the Blue Rose theme.

Cheers

Doc

Love your work Duncan85, you are a dead set legend!

Worked perfectly first time!

Thank you so much, i really appreciate it!

Do you all have problems with very slow upload of page after adding this "application"?

[tanny]

hmmm

the problem is that forum will be slower and  the CPU of Pc will increase to 100% with All Browsers IE/FF/CH/SF/

[tampaba1]

hmmm

tanny

If your forum seems to be running slower it's because your browser isn't reading the java script effectively. There are other means to accomplish the effect such as using jquery or mootools, you just have to search for them.

As for your the cpu of your pc jumping to 100% with all your browsers, I would check my computer out to see what else is going on. Granted FF is a power hog, and IE isn't much better but, I never have that much of an increase with other browsers.

[RustyBarnacle]

On most java based snow effects I see my CPU usage go to 50%

[tampaba1]

On most java based snow effects I see my CPU usage go to 50%

CPU usage going up to 50% is within the norm but, 100% would concern me.

hmmm

the problem is that forum will be slower and  the CPU of Pc will increase to 100% with All Browsers IE/FF/CH/SF/

If your forum seems to be running slower it's because your browser isn't reading the java script effectively. There are other means to accomplish the effect such as using jquery or mootools, you just have to search for them.

As for your the cpu of your pc jumping to 100% with all your browsers, I would check my computer out to see what else is going on. Granted FF is a power hog, and IE isn't much better but, I never have that much of an increase with other browsers.

it isn't metter of your broswer, when I'm running script, my host alerts me that CPU is VERY HIGH, so it's bigger problem than browser javascrript

Before I add this to my websites forums, what was the end result, was it that there is an issue with the host running high cpu power when this snow script is active or not?

The only thing I could come up with in my own mind is maybe that the browser continually calls to the server to get the snow image and the server simply responds, "here it is, it's not moved, go get it if you are not caching it already" (laugh - or something like that).

Anyway, I'd like to apply a snowflake system to my site for the rest of the holiday season so if this one is an issue please point me to a more relative one that might not be or just let everybody know that this one is not an issue since the last post in the thread seemed to say that running this script caused their host to tell them that the CPU usage on the server was high when they run this script on their forum.

Thanks,

P.S. Yes, I know it's an 10 month old thread, but it is relative to me for this holiday season as it's the one that popped up when I was looking to put snowflakes into my forum for the holiday so please excuse the necro.

The issue wasn't server side.  The issue was with users that had under powered computers and java script using way too much of their CPU time.

Okay, I was only going by the last response in this thread:

which seemed to intimate that his web host was telling him that his cpu usage was very high.  Which personally I found rather strange since the server only need spit out the html code of the page the snow is on to the browser not actually do much else with it if I understand it correctly, so thought it was strange but felt it best to ask.

Thanks for the reply.

All these scripts add load to the index.template.php meaning the server still has to work harder to process it, doubly so if the script in question loads images from your server.
