Snow

[wohali]

Ho ho ho! Snow has been updated to 1.3.2! It now works properly with IPS 4.4.

Happy holidays!

Thank you!, I have an issue with it not displaying on my site though? Is there a setting I need to change once I have instelled them as you talk about settings for the plugin however I cannot find them in the ACP?

Bug Report, when the snow is enabled some of it gets stuck on the center of the screen?

 

Edit: Also the Snow when it reaches the bottom of the page begins to infinatly expand the vertical size of the window instead of getting to bottom of the page and disapearing

Hi @lostking329, these are known issues. I didn't write the original JavaScript, and I can't offer support for it. I can only get it working as a plugin for IPS. You can work around the "infinite scrolling" bug by limiting it to display only in the header. The "stuck flakes" occurs fairly rarely, but if you turn off some of the animation options (such as follow mouse, etc.) you can avoid it most of the time.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi @wohali where is the setting to disable the follow mouse?

[wohali]

I'm sorry, I meant disabling the "snow sticks" option and/or the "melt" and "twinkle" effects. It's ossible to disable the mouse follow, but I haven't exposed that in the settings window (yet).

[Kingz]

It would be really great to disable the mouse follow feature

I'm running Invision version 4.4.9.1 and I'm having an issue (in Snow version 1.3.2) where the snow doesn't stop at the bottom of the page. It continues falling forever and causes the browser window (Chrome) to infinitely extend downwards to accommodate the flakes. This happens on the default theme. Snow version 1.3.1 works fine.

I have the same problem.

Known issue, a good workaround is to limit the snow to just the header of your forum. See the settings window, I explain how to do this there.

Try experimenting with other target CSS class elements, too.

Hi... on our site it is limited to ipsLayout_header but still infinite scroll. Could it be something else?

 

1.3.1 works fine on 4.4.9.1

Will this be made compatible with 4.5?

Thank you

[wohali]

Yes, it is planned, prior to December 1.

[wohali]

I've submitted the new version of this, with 4.5 support tagged, today. Given the US holiday I expect this to be available next week.

If anyone needs it sooner, please PM me.

[Square Wheels]

Will it be updated again?  It seems to be working, but I suspect others won't be able to install it.

Thanks

[wohali]

Our site hasn't gotten up to 4.6, sadly, because some of the plugins we like still haven't been ported. This means I don't have a test bed to work with, but, I'll try re-uploading for 4.6 and see what happens.

Anyone who wants a copy to load directly is welcome to PM me.

[wohali]

File re-uploaded with 4.6 support after checking on our test site for compatibility.

[ZakRhyno]

You think this be updated to 4.7 for the winter season?

[wohali]

Absolutely! In fact, this weekend I am dealing with 4.7 stuff on our dev instance and expect to get through validating this and the Xmas Lights plugins work.

[Square Wheels]

My sites loves both of these apps, thanks for keeping them going!

Got sick this past week... should have time tomorrow.

New version posted - now with a proper fix for the infinite scrolling bug when targetting ipsLayout_body. I actually patched this back in 2015, but for some reason the patch never made its way into the upload. ipsLayout_body is once again the default target for the snow.
