xmasify.js - christmasify your team page

X-masify your team page and add Santa's hat to every team member and awesome christmas music with xmasify.js

A Santa’s hat and some awesome christmas music - that are the perfect ingredients for a shining christmas time :-)

We created some neat github library to christmasify your web worker’s life. Now it’s up to you to upgrade you team page!

Examples: Atlassian, Codeship, FoundersExperts, Google, LingoHub, Microsoft, Ostheimer, Product Hunt, Quora and Usersnap.

Quick Start with Tag Manager

Create a new custom HTML tag manager tag with the following content: Please make sure to adapt the DOM selectors wrap_sel and member_sel to your team page DOM layout.

<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
    var s = document.createElement("script");
    s.type = "text/javascript";
    s.async = true;
    s.src = '//usersnap.github.io/xmasify/xmasify/xmasify.js';
    var x = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];

    s.onload = function() {
        Xmasify.xmasify({
            wrap_sel: '.team-members',
            member_sel: '.team-member',
            disableSound: false,
            static_dir: "//usersnap.github.io/xmasify/xmasify/"
        });
    };
    x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x);
})();
</script>

You can limit the placement to your team page and a time window in tag manager easily.

Find out the DOM structure of your team page

Short example of a team page DOM: All team members are wrapped up in .team-members whereas single team members have the .team-member class.

<div class="team-members">
    <div class="team-member">
           ... image, text, ...
    </div>
    ...
    <div class="team-member">
          ... image, text, ...
    </div>
</div>

This means wrap_sel is .team-members and member_sel is .team-member. member_sel is used to .find() relative from the wrap_sel!

Install on your site

Embed the xmasify.js library to your page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="xmasify/xmasify.js"></script>

(Install is as easy as bower install xmasify)

Find your team page's DOM structure. Xmasify.js needs one wrapping element class for all team members and one selector class for a single team member.

Invoke Xmasify.js as follows:

<script type="text/javascript">
Xmasify.xmasify({
    wrap_sel:    '.team-members',       // wrapping class
    member_sel:  '.team-member',        // person selector
    disableSound: false,                // disable auto-play music
    static_dir:  "/xmasify/"            // where to find the christmas hat image
});
</script>

Fine Tuning

Not every photograph looks the same. Xmasify.js allows fine adjustments for the christmas hat placement.

You can specify placements, sizes, roation and image flips for every team member with the pos_map parameter:

Xmasify.xmasify({
    wrap_sel: '.team-members',
    member_sel: '.team-member',
    disableSound: false,
    static_dir: "/xmasify/",
    defs: {
        width: 200
        top: -50,
        left: 50,
        rot: 0,
        flip: false
    },
    pos_map: [{
        width: 240,
        top: -104,
        left: -34,
        rot: 0,
        flip: true
    }, {
        width: 200,
        top: -80,
        left: 100,
        rot: 0,
        flip: false
    }, {
        width: 230,
        top: -81,
        left: 66,
        rot: -13,
        flip: false
    }]
});
