is there an AOL sounds package ?

Hm, plays also sound when I go in the Usercp and click any link... every time a new page is loaded...???

This is a great hack but I agree with the above comment... Is there anyway to make this so it will play ONCE per session? You have to listen to it 3 times before you actually read your message.

I did this so it played on every page no matter what page your users were viewing.

You can take the $sound out of the navbar template and just place it in the FORUMHOME template anywhere you wish. If you do that it will only play the wav file when they're on the Forum's home page. Since it's a random sound I don't think users mind hearing a different sound two times more before reading thier message. And with the option to turn it off they can disable it if choosen.

Adding the option not to play a sound when entering the private messages would require much more hacking and not really worth it. ;)

What are you looking for?

Here you can find some AOL "YOU GOT MAIL" type message .wav files. :)

I've also noticed about 3 or 4 of you that posted haven't clicked the "installed" link. :) Please click it if you plan to keep it.

As for the sound being played after you enter the Private Message panel I'll look into changing that. Pretty tired now though and the weekend ahead I doubt I'll be able to get to it until Monday (if I can even do it at all.. lol)

You could use a conditional in the navbar template like this:

If ya also want to stop the sound when viewing the usercp use this:
Gotta love template conditionals. :)

Oh yeah.. never thought of that. Too tired lastnight. Thnx Evil. :)

First post updated. :)

Installed.

Thanks M8 :)

Perhaps there is an easy way, that the sound only plays once, so if the user does not read the mail it is still playing until he reads it?
