Sound Notification

[TheInsaneManiac]

This will play You've Got Mail when a new notification is received. You can also replace the mail.mp3 file with your own sound to play upon a new notification.

I ask that you not remove the branding as it helps support me. Without support I will not continue making modifications.

No Branding Version:
For a premium no-branding version which has additional features, please visit my Products & Services (http://www.consolediscussions.com/forum/modifications.php) page.

Installation:
1.) In the AdminCP go to User Profile Fields -> Add New User Profile Field.

2.) Select Single-Selection Menu.

3.) Apply the following settings:
Title:
Sound Notification
Description:
Enable the You've Got Mail sound to play when you get a new notification?
Options:
Yes
No
Set Default:
Yes, but No First Blank Option
Private Field:
Yes
Field Searchable on Members List:
No
Show on Members List:
No

4.) After saving take note of what the ID is of the field.

5.) Open product-soundnotification.xml and find:
fieldXX

Change the XX to your fieldID I told your to take note of.

6.) In the template navbar find:
<if condition="$show['notifications']">

Below add:
$soundnotification

Done.


Upgrading:
Import the product and select Allow Overwrite.

Dude, I'll be glad to give you $2.00, but this free version doesn't work.

Thanks, I'll give this a few hours and see if you reply, if not I'm uninstalling this.

Its not really a copyright lol. Just a linkback to my profile. The font is a little big, I'll fix that in the next version. I've tested this multiple times, but I will test it again just to verify everything. Just to eliminate some of the common mistakes:
Did you upload the mail.mp3 to your forum root?
Did you correctly add your field id to the product before uploading it?
Are your running VBOptimize? If so flush your cache and see if you still have a problem.

[linuxututs]

k, Mate,

I'll see and thanks.

I even went as far and chmod 777 the mp3, still no good.
This will be a neat little hack, about like my phpnuke days.........:rolleyes:

Thanks,

Thanks,
I've isolated the issue and an update will be released shortly.

Update:
I just released 2.0 and tested it twice. Everything works fine. Enjoy.

[linuxututs]

You DID IT !!!!:)

I'll PM you..........

Note though : Need to find another mail.mp3 ( You've Got Mail ) that's a little slower.,
But I'm going to find one to suit my own taste as everyone can do....


Thanks Dude,

[ProFifaLeagues]

tagged looks a good little addon which we may try out!!!

[princeedward]

great and thanks....is it possible to implement that user can insert their own sound to use and play to this mod?

:p:up:

That's a great suggestion. Since I believe you said something in the PM about donating, I'll add this feature to the premium version, but I have a few things to do so give me about an hour or two.

Anyone who has already donated I'll send you the updated version when I finish it.

[princeedward]

Donation sent already brader...thanks and best regards

:p:up:

[BucWiLd]

ill give it a try...

edit: works great, Thank you.. may consider the upgrade if more uniques features are implemented the user choose file , is a great idea as long they can host it themselves not with my forum

As the forum owner i like to leave the who's online window open , am i gonna hear it every time it refreshes?

[princeedward]

sound still everywhere...

:confused: hmmm....

[BucWiLd]

sound still everywhere...

:confused: hmmm....

even with the paid version?

[1320Nation]

Where does the mp3 file need to be uploaded to? The instructions do not include this info.

[BucWiLd]

forum root.....

[TheInsaneManiac]

sound still everywhere...

:confused: hmmm....
Judging by the PM you sent me it sounds like you never uploaded the new product. Make sure you upload the new product and select Allow Overwrite.

[1320Nation]

I uploaded the mp3 file to my forum root. I too have it playing on every page I select in my forums. I do have VBOptimize installed. I will flush it's cache to see if helps.

Edit: Flushing VBOptimize did not help.

:D I'm an idiot. With 4 years of VBulletin experience I still don't have enough common since to check the file before it's uploaded. I uploaded the correct file and PMed all those that have donated the new link.

Thanks for donating guys! I'm going to be keeping it to save up for my next VBulletin license so I can keep helping out the VBulletin community.

[BucWiLd]

I get an echo on the " youve got mail " now

[1320Nation]

I get an echo on the " youve got mail " now

Yep...same here.

[BucWiLd]

Yep...same here.

very annoying, isint it.. maniac help!

[BucWiLd]

Update... I removed the $soundnotification from the navbit template. That fixed it :)

[RedHacker]

In paid version must be option Yes by user....?

[TheInsaneManiac]

Update... I removed the $soundnotification from the navbit template. That fixed it :)
Yea as I said in the PM be sure you have uninstalled the old version. =]

[BucWiLd]

I di uninstall the old version buddy. But for some reason that remained behind. or did you mean i had to remove all the coding that was added in addition to the php first time around ?

Yea plugins don't edit templates. To uninstall you have to do what you did before only in reverse order and the opposite of what it says.

[RedHacker]

I have one idea... Must be better said notification from e-mail....

[TheInsaneManiac]

I have one idea... Must be better said notification from e-mail....
Huh?

[RedHacker]

When said you have mail....

[1320Nation]

All is working well now. Thank you TheInsaneManiac for a nice mod! :up:

[TheInsaneManiac]

When said you have mail....
I'm sorry I don't understand your English, does someone understand what he is trying to say. I feel terrible for not understanding though...

All is working well now. Thank you TheInsaneManiac for a nice mod! :up:
No problems. Glad you like it.

[RedHacker]

For the mp3 file.... mail to say notification

[goxy63]

Great addon, tagged, nominated, rated

Just an idea

Well it would be great that user can choose one of lets say 3 to 5 offered sounds in their usercp somewhere, sounds that Ive uploaded

Or sounds that they can upload as someone mentioned earlyer

Anyway which is more server friendly would be great
As some users might hate some sounds would be nice to give an option that user can shut down this option

Will donate asap I find some friend with paypal as I cant use one here where Iam

Cheers

[princeedward]

now it's all working correct to my side...now i am waiting for next update maybe that

TheInsaneManiac can find a way of (code) that all users can insert only their own fave mp3 sound link via usercp > edit option and that will be good and fantastic...

thanks and best regards

Alright guys. Hopefully soon I will have the feature up and running that allows members to choose their own sound.

i also have youve got mai no L at the end lol!! but nice mod..thanks
Try re-uploading the file or adding some extra padding to the mp3. To troubleshoot, see if this also happens with your members.

[RedHacker]

I show in the product in the script removed the "bad" numbers....

Am I the only one getting the sound even if in my profile settings information I set it up at NO (disabled)?

[TheInsaneManiac]

Obviously, but I can help you out. Are your profile fields set up correctly?

[1320Nation]

This has turned out to be a really nice mod. Thanks again TheInsaneManiac. I will be donating again to show my appreciation to your work and efforts.

[Cybershaolin]

Obviously, but I can help you out. Are your profile fields set up correctly?

Yep my profile field is perfectly setup. Very weird. It's working but it's just always working even when I disabled it in my profile. Check the screenshots.

Did you add the field id of the option to the code?

[Cybershaolin]

Did you add the field id of the option to the code?

Of course, check the screenshot again. (On my previous message, you saw that the field number was fiield #6).

Really sad that it's not working for me. I tried on my local forum too and I got the same results! Using 3.8.3.

Do you use VBOptimize? If so try flushing the cache.

[Cybershaolin]

No, I don't use vbOptimize.

[kalisekj]

Wanting Branding free version, PM Sent. Thank you!

[kalisekj]

Great Addon Works Like a Charm! Something you may wanna consider in future is enabling for all notifications or just for PM's :D

[Bill from Cleve]

Anyway to make it more user friendly? A simple GUI to add different audible alerts would be Idea. Admins could easily switch things around for all user groups depending on certain needs like hilidays.
It's a good Idea, but just doesn't work for my board. Maybe somebody could help you write a nice easy Admincp function? I would donate gladly for that!

[SSJB_7]

we thank you and i suggest everyone to donate and help persons like him to make more nice mods with such fast response.
Great mate thank you again .

[IRANCITY]

i need just notification for Private message
wat am i doing ?

Of course, check the screenshot again. (On my previous message, you saw that the field number was fiield #6).

I'm having the same problem too... it does not work on my 3.8.4 site and I have triple checked all settings. Mine is premium sound notification :(

I don't think I understand what you mean. Check out the premium version features to see if it has what you need.

[chick]

Fixed, it was on my end in IE, I needed the qt plugin. All is good. Thanks for this sweet hack.

[ravenfaust]

when installed it only says "Youve Got"

[TheInsaneManiac]

Someone previously had this issue. Look back one or two pages. I believe they reinstalled it and fixed the issue. Try to reupload the sound as well.

[vijayninel]

How can I set this to off by default ?

[Karm4]

Okay, I saw someone post before that they couldnt get it to work in Mozilla but got it to work in IE. I have the same problem doesnt work in mozilla. Is there a fix to this?

I will donate if you can get it to work on mozilla.

[sinpin]

Nice mod,
How can I set this to unconditional mode and always ON by default ?
Does this work on every browser ? (IE, firefox, opera)

[Trieb]

Works with IE, FF, Opera, Maxthon2, Chrome and Safari.

[jgrakowski]

right now, when you have a notification, every page refresh causes this sound to play. is there a way to get it to play only once per notification?
