Project Snow

[Matthew K.]

Not a problem, and glad you like it!

Thanks for all the time and work you guys put into redoing this mod! 

Works great!

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!

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.



edit...using on RC4 & the xmas theme.

Project Snow 1.1 is FINALLY released!!!!

Thanks, but where have you seen the falling of red snow, in real life?

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.

[Matthew K.]

Go ahead and install it - Despite that error, and then attach ./Sources/Admin.php and I'll manually do those edits for you.

OK TY.

[Matthew K.]

The edits look fine...is Project-Snow.english.php in ./Themes/default/languages? If so...please attach that.

[cryptic3]

Ok,

I have issues with several mods I cant uninstall, yours works fine but no admin.

[cryptic3]

Just to add the turn snow off option is in profile although it is just a box with no writing next to it..

[Matthew K.]

Any errors in your error log?

attempted to remove project snow 1.0, got this message:

'is package cannot be uninstalled, because there is no uninstaller!

Please contact the mod author for more information.'

I cannot get this to remove from the forum, is there a way to add an uninstaller to get rid?

*cancel that, I uninstalled 1.1.12 and the uninstaller was there, reinstalled 1.1.12 and installed Project snow 1.1*

Many thanks, crackin mod. Like the months to snow selection, takes away the user intervension

[Matthew K.]

That is your cPanel error log, most likely. As far as I know, that is not SMF's.

Thanks for letting us know, I'll be sure to look into this shortly; although I'm not sure why that is happening.

Glad you like it.

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. 

[Matthew K.]

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.

[Matthew K.]

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!
