Christmas hats component

テーマコンポーネント

As Christmas approaches, you may want to add a bit of festive flair to your forum. So I present a (very simple) Christmas hats theme:

A couple of notes:

  • This theme assumes list avatars are 25x25 with a 2px border all round; you may need to tweak some of the positioning in the CSS for your avatars.
  • It also assumes that thread avatars are 64x64 with a 2px border all round; again, tweak the positioning as you see fit.
  • To avoid excessive festiveness, not all avatars in lists will be bedecked with Christmas cheer, but once you open up a thread, everyone is part of the fun.

(Aside: it looks like I wasn’t the first to think of this!)

Enjoy!

Is it possible to add only hats to my current themes?

5

Yep! You can add it as a “theme component” to your existing themes. This is how I’m using it.

is it possible to put the hat on a especial user? or on users of a especial group?

Is it still possible to use .dcstyle.json for components? If not we should get this fixed ASAP - Christmas hats all round!

Yes, that’s still the format you get when you export a theme / component from the admin. There are two options to get this component up to date.

  1. directly edit the file to add the component flag.
  2. import the component, convert it, then export it again.

Either of those options will work to ensure that the component gets imported as a… well… component.

Sure, just prepare a PNG or gif with transparency, upload it and alter the CSS so that it refers to your image.

Sure, GIFs support transparency. If you can make it and align it then it should work fine AFAIK.

Is anybody up for updating this to get it working on mobile?

i’ve changed it so there are 4 different type of hats the users can choose from

it works great

make sure you have it installed under “mobile”

Odd. I have just installed the component from the GitHub repo, enabled it in my theme, and Santa hats show up on Desktop but not on mobile for me.

Also, I tried viewing the demo with the same results.

Edit: I’m on iOS. Perhaps it’s device specific?

i’m on IOS. i think if you install from GitHub, it installs only on desktop, you need to copy and paste and add it under “mobile”

Ideally someone could update the component to use Common instead of Desktop (so it applies to both automatically)

Thanks for the help, I hadn’t read too carefully, and I’m not familiar with themes/components yet, so I was expecting it to “just work.” I’ll give it a shot with your instructions.

Yeah, that’d be nice. It’s a bit beyond my ability at the moment, I’m afraid, or I’d try to contribute back in that way.
