April Fools Fun (vB4)

[Ozzy47]

This is something someone asked for on vB.org, so I thought I would post it here to. Cute little way to flip some of your forums upside down for April Fools.

Create a plugin, ACP --> Plugins & Products --> Add New Plugin

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: parse_templates
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code: Add the following;

if (date('F j') == 'April 1' AND THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' AND in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array([B][COLOR=Red]X,X,X[/COLOR][/B])))
{
    $invert = '<style type="text/css">
    body {
          -webkit-transform: rotate(180deg);
          -moz-transform: rotate(180deg);
          -ms-transform: rotate(180deg);
          -o-transform: rotate(180deg);
          transform: rotate(180deg);
    }
    </style>
    
     <script>
       window.onload=toBottom;
    
       function toBottom() {
          window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
       }
    </script> ';
$template_hook[headinclude_bottom_css] .= $invert;
}

Just change X,X,X to the forums you want this to happen on.

Also note, I wrote this to only happen on April 1, so if you want to test it, change the date.

Worky for v3.8.7?

 

[Ozzy47]

Not as it is, I added the way to do it in the vB3 section, April Fools Fun (vB3)

 

[New Joe]

I like it,....

 

[Max Taxable]

I installed it on my 3.8... adjusted it to do only a 10 degree tilt.... It's mestup, great little plugin.

 

[Ozzy47]

And you also removed the javascript, so it would display correctly.

 

[Max Taxable]

I hate IE. Did I ever say that?

Followed the instructions, added the forum id's instead of the x's, changed date to March 31

Not working

Dunno if the template hook is required for v4 like it is for 3.... But it is $invert and it goes at the very bottom of the forumhome template in v3.

Thanks Max hopefully Ozzy can confirm this as soon as he's online

Thanks Max hopefully Ozzy can confirm this as soon as he's online

Meanwhile it won't do any damage at all for you to install that template hook in forumhome template and see if that's the deal.

 

[Ozzy47]

The hook is not needed in vB4, as it should be auto inserting it. I have a site to look at also that it is not working, maybe I can find something out there.

Ok I got it going on the users site, change the first line of the code:

if (date('F j') == 'April 1' AND THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' AND in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], array([B][COLOR=Red]X,X,X[/COLOR][/B])))

To this:

if (date('F j') == 'April 1' AND THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay' AND in_array($GLOBALS['forumid'], array([B][COLOR=Red]X,X,X[/COLOR][/B])))
