    Hi,

    Yes, you can use this on other templates. This module is integrated in JA Events as complimentary extensions so that it might be restyled to fit yours.

    Hi,

    In order to make 100 snows on your site, you have to create 100 animation modules and this seems be impossible as it will cause your computer pending…

    This may be traitorous :-[ , but Yootheme have a snow module that gets around the problem you describe.

    Can’t remember if it costs anything, though.

    any chance of the Flying Pumpkin for halloween to work on a Joomla 1.7.2 install using JA Social template for J!1.7? Spent a whole day on trial and error and still can’t make it work. :-/

    No chance for me to disable mootools as both Kunena and JomSocial require it. Thanks for whatever help anyone can extend.
