I’ll enable the plugin on this site on December 1st :)

Hi, i cant get the plugin works properly. any help ?
le 26 novembre 2006 à 13:32 [ Citer ]
Hello, all the plugin files should be located in
/wp-content/plugins/snowy/. The script folder name needs to be “snowy” and nothing else (yours is “snow”).le 26 novembre 2006 à 14:18 [ Citer ]
Thanks a lot, it works like a charm.
le 26 novembre 2006 à 14:31 [ Citer ]
You’re welcome :)

Can I make the snow flakes larger, and more of them ?
le 27 novembre 2006 à 21:39 [ Citer ]
Yes Cliff, simply edit the variables at the beginning of the .js file and you should be set :)
le 28 novembre 2006 à 1:24 [ Citer ]
I think I goosed the prefs just a little after seeing that making flakes too big or too many really slowed down performance.

That adjusts the amount (which I can’t actually get to work). Is there a way to adjust the size ? Thanks.
le 29 novembre 2006 à 0:15 [ Citer ]
You’re right Bill, too many flakes hog the page.
Cliff, try to modify this value to increase the size :
sfs[i] = Math.round(1 + Math.random() * 1) ;le 30 novembre 2006 à 19:14 [ Citer ]
Plugin is activated but it doesn’t snow with me unfortunately and I don’t know because of what it is…

Barbara, the .js file should be here :
http://www.ampuria.de/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/snowy/snowy.js.Apparently it’s not there (error 404).
le 30 novembre 2006 à 19:39 [ Citer ]
don’t know where the mistake is and will ask in the German wordpress-forum once. Thanks for the fast answer.

Barbara, I found your problem : you have put the files in

You’re welcome Barbara, I’m glad you’re sorted :)

Looks neat ! Can’t wait to try it. :D
le 6 décembre 2006 à 4:28 [ Citer ]
just check again and it does work, but only in Intenet, not on firefox !
even if I did turn on the option to run the script in firefox !
can you help ?
thanks
le 6 décembre 2006 à 10:27 [ Citer ]
Kevin, everything works the same in IE and Firefox. What do you mean with “I did turn on the option to run the script in firefox” ? The script has no options : you either activate or desactivate it.
le 6 décembre 2006 à 16:39 [ Citer ]
If you check in the .js
you can tell it to run in firefox or not..
now i turned the plugin off but before it worked only in IE, though yours works both on IE and FF.
Maybe I’ve got an error in my code and that’s what makes it not work with FF.
anyway instead I animated my welcome image with some snow so.. better than nothing !

Kevin, try to redownload the plugin and activate it. The snow might not be very visible on your design, try changing the color of the flakes in the .js file. The CKYF website made them black for instance.
le 7 décembre 2006 à 1:27 [ Citer ]
Didn’t change a thing sadly,
and the snow color isn’t the problem since I can see it in IE…
I really think the problem is an error in my code since other plugins I tried had errors too, I went for the easy bit and added an animated .gif instead.
Merci de ton aide ! :)

Hi There,
I followed the instructions and read the comments when I hit a dead end. Unfortunately the script still doesn’t work for me. Is there something I’m doing wrong ? Appreciate any help.
le 7 décembre 2006 à 23:31 [ Citer ]
Hi,
Kevin, if you have issues with other plugins too that may explain why it does not work. Pas de quoi :)
Jasmin : the plugin works out-of-the-box provided conditions are respected :
- it must reside in
/wp-content/plugins/snowy/- your theme’s footer.php file must have the
do_action(’wp_footer’) ;instruction.le 12 décembre 2006 à 13:31 [ Citer ]
hi, I had activated the plugin, but still cannot show the snow effect. Would be great if you can help on this. thx !! ^^

Mine works in IE but not Firefox. Any suggestions on how to fix this ? Thanks for a great seasonal WP plugin, by the way !
le 13 décembre 2006 à 12:16 [ Citer ]
Nice, not so big snowflakes. Works fine in iE and Firefox here, thanks ! :)
le 13 décembre 2006 à 12:45 [ Citer ]
Hello,
swannivision, footer.php must have the do_action(’wp_footer’) ; instruction. Your theme seems broken : you have a closing table after the
tagRick, I’ve got no idea why it doesn’t work with Firefox. I tried on IE and it appears fine but outputs JS errors. It may be related.
iKArus : I’m glad it works for you :)

Thanks…I’ll try to download it again and reinstall it.
le 14 décembre 2006 à 9:56 [ Citer ]
thanks ! it works now ^^
le 23 décembre 2006 à 1:52 [ Citer ]
Thanks for the plugin ! And it’s valid XHTML !
le 25 décembre 2006 à 3:10 [ Citer ]
Hi, thanks for the plugin but actually I got a little problem. On your blog I see the snow on both IE and FF. But when I activated it on this blog I can see them only on IE. Any clue about this ?
I downloaded from the link above, unzip then upload where it should be.
le 28 décembre 2006 à 10:16 [ Citer ]
J’ai trouvé !
I found the solution for FF !
Just put the do_action() in the right div, not just before de body tag !
Put it in the inner div.
