Snow, Balloons And More

Snowflakes falling down your blog! Inspired by the unforgettable xsnow. Install this and enjoy the snowfall! Great for times around christmas and christmas templates. The plugin comes with different snowflakes and a lot of possible settings. You should see the effect on this page.

Since version 0.8.0 the plugin includes balloons, and a new mode in which the images can float upwards. This makes this plugin a birthday plugin as well.

If this plugin doesn't work on your blog, please read the FAQ.

    Thanks! Actually, your comment just made me realize there's a bug in the javascript code... the snowflakes only fall down to the part of the page that's initially visible, scrolling down breaks that. Got to think about a fix...

    Doesn't seem to work in Chrome, at least not for me.

    Hm, I'll look into that as well. I tested FF3, IE6+7, Opera and Safari. But chrome uses this new javascript engine... I would guess that it works in chrome if I removed the "fix" I included for IE :evil:
    I would love to simply use mootools but that would be kind of bloated.

    Ok, I just made the JavaScript do the right thing and added fixes for IE. Tested in chrome too now, and fixed the scrolling issue. Resizing the window is still an issue, and the plugin is kind of heavy on the CPU. I guess I'll add more configuration parameters in the future. New version uploaded to wp.org.

    FYI, version 0.1.6 doesn't seem to work on WordPress 2.5 (and so probably won't work on anything earlier, either). Tested on WinXP, on latest IE and Firefox. I like it though, and will keep in in mind for whenever I upgrade WP.

    Hello,

    This will be used when december arrives, tested it with 20 snowflakes and it worked. But when I tried to change to 0 it just popped back to 20 again.

    Default template on site.

    I use safari and leopard if that has anything to do with it. Before there was problem with safari and formatting in posts, so safari might be the crook here.

    Thanks for plugin :)

    Nice plugin, but an option to change the colour of the snowflakes would be kinda cool (would like to make em light-blue so theyd be more visible on my pag).

    Thanks everybody for your comments! I made a new release that comes with a higher contrast snowflake, you can see it on this page. Feel free to send me more snowflakes that I can include.
    James, if you're referring to this page it's possible that I was just tweaking the plugin and broke it while you were looking.

    Deacon, that thought already crossed my mind, but I'm not really good at drawing things. I have added two drops but they're not very beautiful. You'll have to download the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nksnow/download/" rel="nofollow">development version</a> for now.

    Hi there,

    with the latest version I've got a CPU load of 40%, way to much for a little script like this one.
    Please fix that.

  18. avatar
    wrote this comment on

    jackennils, I'm afraid it's not really a problem of the script. The problem is rather that the browser needs much CPU to display the updated positions of the snowflakes. Firefox seems to be particularly slow.
    I'll see if there's a way to improve the performance, for now you can change the overall speed and reduce the number of flakes in the Pro Settings. That should make it less CPU-hungry. Maybe I should add a widget so that visitors can disable the snow...

    wrote this comment on

    You're right, that was it. I also modified the plugin to include class=\"snow\" for the images so I could style them with no border, because I have css that puts borders most images. It might be useful to manually style them with no border, just in case. Great plugin!

    Great! Adding a border:0 is also a good idea, time for a new release I guess, the changes are adding up.

    Scott, I have added a few leaves. I also made it possible to select more than one object to fall down the page as you can probably see on this page (it's a random thing, so having only one kind of object is possible).

    How can I add my own leaves with different colors? How can I make the falling leaves smaller, like they are here? (On my blog, they are much larger...is this a function of the number of falling items?)

    Thank you for this awesome plugin.

    Dr K, the easiest would be to send me your leaves so that I can include them in the next release. As for having smaller leaves, you can configure that on the settings page. It's independent from the number of objects that are falling down.

    Nice little plugin. Would love to have even more options for choosing rain, leaves and snowflakes (flakes are supposed to be one of a kind, afterall, and the fun of fall leaves is so many different types and colors) and the ability to use our own images. The motion of swirling snow is often more appealing and blowing/drifting snow, so that's an idea too. Thanks for going to the effort to create this.

    Hi.

    Since 0.5.0, the plugin now no longer saves its settings. I've had to deactivate it for now, since I can't select '0' any more.

    I'm basically waiting for December 1st before I set it going.

    Thanks in advance for fixing this...

  66. avatar
    wrote this comment on

    Hm, works fine for me, I can change settings. Where can't you select '0'?

  67. avatar
    wrote this comment on

    Whenever I have upgraded, the plugin defaults to '10'. Since I don't want the snowflakes to appear until December, I have chosen '0' each time and then saved the changes.

    This has worked fine before now. With version 0.5.0 it does not save any changes. If I deselect the snowflakes entirely to 'force' it to stop them from falling, and then choose Save, it ignores that change too.

    After clicking Save, and the short delay whilst the browser refreshes, the plugin returns all settings to the defaults.

    Great plugin. I like it alot.

    One feature I would really like to see is being able to speficy a particular page. Right now, if I specify ex: ?page_id=2, pages 2, 20, 21, 22, 23... all have your plugin on them. It wouldn't be hard to include a field to specify an exact match with it. I actually already added this to my copy but it would be nice to have this already in your version so I don't have to add my code in each of your updates.

    It would also be great if you could upload your own images or specify the path of a specific image but I realize that could open up problems such as people specifying paths for too large of an image.

    Keep up the great work.

    I don't have a plugin persay (not sure how to create one) but the basics of restricting to one page (instead of all pages that fit a given string)is replacing

    with

    if ( (get_option('nksnow_uri') || get_option('nksnow_uri_exact') ) &amp;&amp;

    with

    Really? Can you point me to the specs that say that newlines are mandatory after an &lt;img&gt;? Renaming the &lt;img&gt; ids is probably a good idea, but again, what specs say that foo translates to _foo in JS? And why is being XHTML compliant related to the JS at all? (well, and I have no idea if the users who install the plugin use XHTML at all... my own blog isn't compliant either :-| )

    Hey it worked! It's snowing now and I even through up a quickie snowball design of my own. If yu want it just holler and I'll send it to you.

    Is there anyway to double the amount of snowflakes falling down?

    Still no luck, even with the dev version. I like your snow plugin better than the Let it Snow version because it uses less CPU. Not sure why it suddenly stopped working for me. FWIW, my WordPress version is 2.7, my theme is Black Letterhead v 1.6. I still think your plugin is great, even if it doesn't work for me :)

    Hi,
    Does not work on my blog referenced above. I checked for the header and footer php codes you mentioned and they appear to be there. I usually use FF (they just did an update). I checked in IE7 to see if it worked there but it does not. I don't want to use the snowflakes, I want to use the teardrops on one particular post. Any help would be much appreciated.

    You should add alt=\"snow\" on the 277th line in the nksnow.php. In this way you will make it valid.

    Hi Carl, I'm glad you like it. You can add your own pictures to the plugin, it's documented on the settings page. However, they will be lost if you use automatic plugin upgrades. That's something I still have to work on. If you made the images yourself you could send them to me and I'll look if I include them.

    However I have a query,is it possible to display this in the background only,like only in the the left side and right side not in the main content page...

    It sounds confusing?Ok how about the snow flakes falling only on where it is marked red in the pic :http://bit.ly/6dOX6N

    Hmmm, I think you should use CSS (z-index probably) to do that. I guess I could make the plugin to limit the snow to ONE side of the page but not two. Haven't looked at this part of the code in a long time.

    The position should be changeable through the z-index CSS property, which depends on the theme you use. I like the on/off idea. I think such buttons are relatively easy to implement, I'll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Hi. It works fine in Firefox, but IE throws a javascript error:

    "Object required"

    src="http://milehighmarketing.com/wp-content/plugins/nksnow//snow.js"

    It appears that there is a double "//" in the js reference. Firefox somehow gets around that, but IE just ignores it and doesn't show the snow.

    Please investigate and see if a fix is needed.

    Since I'm in the Rockies I need some snow :)
