How to Add Snowfall Effect for a Specific Space in FluentCommunity

During seasonal events (like Christmas or New Year), many communities want to add a festive snowfall effect. However, the challenge in FluentCommunity is that it uses SPA navigation (no full page reload), so normal scripts will only run after pressing F5.

Here is a ready-to-use SnowFX script that:

• Runs only on designated spaces (e.g., /forum/space/code/home)
• Does not run on other spaces or in the admin panel
• Is SPA-aware → works when you navigate by clicking inside the forum (no refresh needed)
• Lightweight, vanilla JS (no external libraries)

🔧 Installation

1. Go to Forum Settings → Customization → Custom JavaScript (screenshot below).
2. Paste the script into the JavaScript box.
3. Edit the ALLOWED_SPACES list to include the sub-forums where you want the snow effect.
4. Save → Done ✅

✅ Demo

• Works only on /forum/space/code/home (or any space you define).
• When you click around inside FluentCommunity, the snow will appear/disappear correctly.
• No effect in /forum/admin or /wp-admin.

🎁 Bonus

• You can enable a seasonal mode (only from September to December) by adding a simple date check.
• Or change cfg.color to yellow and replace flakes with “🌸” to simulate falling petals.
