Snow and gingerbread houses for 2021
How to Add Animated Snow
First, navigate to your website settings. To do so, hover over the Web & IDX tab from the main navigation, and select 'Website Settings' from the pop-out menu.
Admins Please Note: If you are an Admin and would like to update a site other than your personal site you'll need to select the domain from the scope dropdown menu. Also, be aware, if you update the primary domain it will trickle down to your agents.
After entering the website settings, scroll down to the Custom Header.
Then, paste this code into the field:
<!-- Initiate Winter Wonderland | Paste in Custom Header of Web & IDX --><script defer src="https://kunversion-frontend-custom.s3.amazonaws.com/components/libraries/particles/ps.snow.js"></script>
Click 'Save'.
Please Note: This will only affect the homepage of your website.
How to Add a Holiday Background Video
From your website settings page, click 'Template' on the left.
From the 'Templates' section you'll want to scroll down to the 'Background Video YouTube ID' field.
Here, you may specify a background YouTube video, that will play behind the header elements, graphics, and search bar on the home page. The YouTube ID comes after the "?v=" in the URL of youtube.com.
For example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLxeyLyvw-0
The ID needed is: tLxeyLyvw-0
Do not include anything before or after the alphanumeric characters. Many times when you are looking at YouTube links they can be quite messy. You only want the portion after v= and before any other characters such as &, #, etc.
For example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLxeyLyvw-0&t=1s
The ID here would be: tLxeyLyvw-0
This replaces the background images you have selected on all desktop versions of your website with the specified video. On mobile sites, the background images are used instead to save your users' bandwidth and keep your mobile site moving quickly.
PRO-TIPS
Be sure to make note of what video you’re removing if you are going to put up a replacement and want to add the old one back later.
You can use the entire YouTube link if you want to add a video to a scheduled mass email for a Holiday Newsletter. For more info on scheduled mass emails, click here.
