philJ, i am testing it at the moment with other scripts, so thats why i have got it working today, if you look now its turned off until December.
As for slowing the site down, yes it does, thats why i have been just looking at the snow effect on the header only and not all the page, and below is the mod for this.
Attached is the snow_header.js file, its currently set at 150 height, just adjust to your setting.
Then in the head.tpl file at
/your_shopcart/skin1/head.tpl place the code:
Code:
{if $smarty.now|date_format:"%m" > 11 }
<script language="JavaScript" src="{$SkinDir}/snow_header.js" type="text/javascript"></script> {/if}
The > 11 means it only will work in December PhilJ
Attached are some snow flakes you might want to use, naturally the small the file size the better it will load.
I loaded the snow flakes into
/your_shopcart/skin1/images/ directory.
Oh and PhilJ, I am not insane, just testing to see if it works, there is a difference
