## Legacy Manual Installation
<details>
<summary>Click to expand instructions for the old manual installation method (without plugin)</summary>
### Installation
> [!TIP]
> Take a look at [CodeDevMLH/Jellyfin-Mods-Automated-Script](https://github.com/CodeDevMLH/Jellyfin-Mods-Automated-Script)
1. **Add Seasonal Container to `index.html`**
Edit the `index.html` file of your Jellyfin web instance. Add the following code inside the `<body>` tag:
```html
<div class="seasonals-container"></div>
<script src="seasonals/seasonals.js"></script>
```
2. **Deploy Files**
Place the seasonals folder (including seasonals.js, CSS, and additional JavaScript files for each theme [this one](https://github.com/CodeDevMLH/Jellyfin-Seasonals/tree/legacy/seasonals)) inside the Jellyfin web server directory (labeld with "web").
3. **Configure Themes**
Customize the theme-configs.js file to modify or add new themes. The default configuration is shown below:
```javascript
const automateThemeSelection = true; // Set to false to disable automatic theme selection based on current date
const defaultTheme = 'none'; // Default theme if automatic selection is off
const themeConfigs = {
snowflakes: {
css: 'seasonals/snowflakes.css',
js: 'seasonals/snowflakes.js',
containerClass: 'snowflakes'
},
snowfall: {
css: 'seasonals/snowfall.css',
js: 'seasonals/snowfall.js',
containerClass: 'snowfall-container'
},
// more configs...
none: {
containerClass: 'none'
},
};
```
4. **Reload the web interface**
After making these changes, restart your Jellyfin server and/or refresh the web interface (ctrl+F5, sometimes you need to clear the browsers temp files/cache (every time with firefox ;-()) to see the changes.
### Theme Settings
Each theme's JavaScript file contains additional settings to customize its behavior. Here are examples for the `autumn` and `snowflakes` themes:
**Autumn Theme Settings**
```javascript
const leaves = true; // Enable/disable leaves
const randomLeaves = true; // Enable random leaves
const randomLeavesMobile = false; // Enable random leaves on mobile devices
const enableDiffrentDuration = true; // Enable different animation duration for random leaves
const leafCount = 25; // Number of random extra leaves
```
**Snowflakes Theme Settings**
```javascript
const snowflakes = true; // Enable/disable snowflakes
const randomSnowflakes = true; // Enable random snowflakes
const randomSnowflakesMobile = false; // Enable random snowflakes on mobile devices
const enableColoredSnowflakes = true; // Enable colored snowflakes on mobile devices
const enableDiffrentDuration = true; // Enable different animation duration for random snowflakes
const snowflakeCount = 25; // Number of random extra snowflakes
```
### Usage
**Automatic Theme Selection**
By default, the theme is automatically selected based on the date. For example:
Snowfall: January
Hearts: February (Valentine's Day)
Halloween: October
Modify the determineCurrentTheme() function in seasonals.js to adjust date-based logic.
**Manual Theme Selection**
To use a fixed theme, set automateThemeSelection to false in the theme-configs.js file and specify a defaultTheme.
**Custom Themes**
1. Add your CSS and JavaScript files to the seasonals folder.
2. Extend the themeConfigs object with your theme details:
```javascript
myTheme: {
css: 'seasonals/my-theme.css',
js: 'seasonals/my-theme.js',
containerClass: 'my-theme-container',
}
```
### Additional Directory: Separate Single Seasonals
For users who prefer not to use the automatic seasonal theme selection, individual seasonals are available in the `separate single seasonals` folder. Each seasonal theme can be independently loaded and used without relying on the main automatic selection system.
but this requires to the modify of the `index.html` with adding the html in `add_to_index_html`.
To use a single seasonal theme, include its specific CSS and JS files in your `index.html` inside the `<body> </body>` tags provided by `add_to_index_html.html` in the sub-theme-folders as shown below:
```html
<div class="seasonalsname-container"></div>
<script src="separate single seasonals/snowflakes.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="separate single seasonals/snowflakes.css">
