Falling Snowflakes

[D4rKNeSs]

No I am not, because the upgrading is like rocket science to me!~ I don't get it and it's hard for me! Trust me I have lots of PHP software on my site and this is the only one that is written without an auto upgrade. Once again I will have to PAY someone to upgrade it because the upgrading is so comboobalated~ I am not here to dicuss the upgrading.

However with that said the only customization I do is two color changes, back ground and change the tile back gif. I am NOT worried about upgrading to 1.4 and having those 4 things being over written. Any my upgrade person will handle that anyways.

I am just trying to figure why the snow wont fall ok?

It falls only when there's enough humidity in the air and it's cold enough - were you asleep during geography lessons?

Ask your host to put your server into the refrigerator.

I have followed the directions given above exactly (including the override folders, which I always use) and so far, no snow. Ignoring the humidity/temp variables, do you have any suggestions?

It should be working in my retail site (link below), but not yet.

TIA

I found the problem. The path suggested in post #2 of this thread (var snowsrc="/images/snow.gif") for the image was incorrect, at least on my server. It should read...

"images/snow.gif"

without the slash before "images".

More help needed!

I decided to have snow falling only on the home page. So, following the instructions in the docs, I put the jscript_snow.js file inside the includes/modules/pages/index/ folder. Didn't work.

I noticed a classic folder in the modules folder, so thinking an override folder structure would work better I put my js file inside includes/modules/my_template/pages/index/

That didn't work either. Any ideas?

I think this is a neat script, but to say the truth, after a short time it is driving me nuts seeing those flakes drifting all over. I think later today I'm to get rid of it.

PS: if you just want it on your homepage, you can do something like this in your common/html_header.php :

<?php if($this_is_homepage){ ?>
YOUR SCRIPT HERE (WITH <SCRIPT> TAGS)
<?php } ?>

Paste the script in full from dynamicdrive and just edit the path in it to your snowflake.

I didn't test the above, but it should be close enough to give you clue.

Actually, Zen Cart has a built-in way to do this sort of thing. But it's not working, as I stated above. No need to edit code. I just need to figure out why it won't work when placed in the correct single page folder.

And yes, I agree about it being distracting. That's why I wanted to restrict it to the home page.

Ok got snow to fall helps if you make sure the snowflake is named the same name in the script as the image! lol Thanks kiddo!
