Just a simple little mod to change the background according to the season

Create your background images - winter.png / spring.png / summer.png / autumn.png

Upload your images to skin/common_files/images/seasons

( v4.3.x and below, upload to skin1/images/seasons )

Then add this code to the end of skin/common_files/service_head.tpl

( v4.3.x and below, add to skin1/customer/home.tpl before </head> )

{php}
$day = date("z");
if( $day < 79) $season = "winter";
elseif( $day < 171) $season = "spring";
elseif( $day < 265) $season = "summer";
elseif( $day < 354) $season = "autumn";
else $season = "winter";
{/php}
{literal}
<style type="text/css">body { background: {/literal}{$ImagesDir}{literal}/seasons/{php}echo $season{/php}.png center no-repeat; }</style>
{/literal}

Or, here's a pure Smarty version...

{assign var=day value=$smarty.now|date_format:"%j"}  
{if $day lt "79"}
{assign var=season value="winter"}
{elseif $day lt "171"}
{assign var=season value="spring"}
{elseif $day lt "265"}
{assign var=season value="summer"}
{elseif $day lt "354"}
{assign var=season value="autumn"}
{else}
{assign var=season value="winter"}
{/if}
{literal}
<style type="text/css">body { background: {/literal}{$ImagesDir}{literal}/seasons/{/literal}{$season}{literal}.png center no-repeat; }</style>
{/literal}

Very funny. Thanks my friend. Christmas is coming!

exactly what i've been looking for... thanks!

Please note starting with Smarty v3, {php}{/php} tag is deprecated. Those who use Smarty 3 patch supplied by qualiteam should know this is not working at all. You should make modification in php file then call the variable in template file.

Yes, but I'm guessing 99% of people haven't made the leap yet, due to it interfering with many mods.

Nice!

Seems you could avoid {php} and use something like this:

PHP Code:

{assign var=day value=$smarty.now|date_format:"%j"}
