Daily Doodle [Deleted]

Snog submitted a new resource:

Daily Doodle - Change your site logo like Google does.

This add-on has been ported for use with XenForo with the permission of BirdOPrey5.

Most people know that Google changes its logo on specific days to honor holidays, birthdays, or other notable events. They call these temporary logos "Google Doodles." Many XenForo Admins like to mark special days by temporarily changing our forum logos as well. Usually this means manually changing the the header style properties on one or more styles and/or overwriting the file on our server with a new logo...

what happens if you have more than one style with different logo's on each

what happens if you have more than one style with different logo's on each

So long as the logo is the same size, it will change the logo in all styles.

If the logos are different sizes, you can exclude styles from being changed.

Nice, thanks. Really thoughtful add-on. Definitely going to test it out and put it to good use.

Oh.My.God. I have been looking for something exactly like this for years under vBulletin. I used to manually change my logos and that got old quick. Can't wait to get this installed.

Since this is designed for Holidays, would it be possible to add recurring language to the parsing? i.e 3rd Sunday of April

I'll put it on the wish list for this add-on.

 

[Snog]

I'll release an update tomorrow for that.

The format will be like "second Tuesday of march" or "third Monday of january"

Does this addon work on XF 1.4.9?

Does this addon work on XF 1.4.9?

Yes

From the instructions:

12-20 ~ 12-30 | images/logos/MerryChristmas.jpg | Merry Christmas

The third doodle has no year in the date but it has a tilde (~) with two dates, so it will reoccur every year between December 20 and December 30 to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Does 'between' include both the 20 and the 30th?

Does 'between' include both the 20 and the 30th?

Yes it does.

I don't know why but In artodia's elegance 2 style , logo doesn't appear.

Check the logo_block template for that style and make sure it has this line in it exactly as shown...

<img src="@headerLogoPath" alt="{$xenOptions.boardTitle}" />

If it does, check the add-on settings and be sure the path to the logo you want to show is correct. Also be sure the style ID isn't excluded from being changed.

It does and xenforo's default skin seems to have no-issue with add-on , logo shows up correctly but Elegance 2 doesn't. I changed header and logo_block templates with xenforo's default skin but no luck.

Because that style is a premium style, I don't have access to it to check what the problem might be. But because the add-on works with the default XF style, I can guarantee the problem is with the style and not with the add-on.
