Just some not all? Could be the type of browser they're using. Could be their volume control. Could be a number of other things. As long as you're using IE, Netscape, Mozilla and you yourself hear the sound when you receive a PM then you know you installed it correct. It's a user error on their end. ;)

Good stuff!

I love it!

Thanks a lot

For this nice hack
and also i thank

For the Ziped sound files

Best regards

yeah that did it thanks alot this makes today a good day.

not sure why, but i get no sounds at all. I also get no errors anywhere. I made sure to change the sql injection to reflect my db prefix and that went in ok.
I also put the sounds dir in my site.com/sounds and also site.com/vb/sounds/ just in case it didn't have the path correct.
All themplates and both files were edited as instructed.
ideas?

What's the address of the site? I'll see if they work on my end or check the source code of the output on the page. Might just be a typo somewhere.. :)

Anytime, glad I could help and glad you like it. :)

Just visited your site. Strange, it doesn't even call for the sound file. :ermm: Are you sure you dropped the $sound string in the navbar or somewhere in the header?

350Chevy: Any chance there would be a future update that makes the WAV user selectable?

Unfortunately I have no plans or use for this. I just wanted something simple that would make a noise when getting a PM is all. :)

Hi, a small problem with this hack if the access to the PN system is not allowed by the admin for a special usergroup like "awaiting confirmation" and having the "New user welcome PN" Hack installed.
The user get's the sound message that he has new PN but can't read the mail unless he confirms his registration and an admin has activated his account.

Solution:

find in Template Navbar:
replace it with:
With this change vB first check if the PN system is activated and then play the sound. Otherwise no sound will played.

Nice work Tom! Thnx..

First post updated and credit given.. :)

is there a way to get this to work as well at the pop up message? Only the sound works when you get a pm on my site now :(

Im getting a Mysql error when A user tries and changed the sound notification.

I found out that I cannot find this from the install file:

OPEN profile.php

***** FIND *****

globalize($_POST, array('newstyleset' => INT, 'dst' => INT, 'showvbcode' => INT, 'pmpopup' => INT, 'umaxposts' => INT, 'prunedays' => INT,
'timezoneoffset', 'startofweek' => INT, 'languageid' => INT, 'threadedmode' => INT, 'invisible' => INT, 'autosubscribe' => INT,
'options', 'modifyavatar'));

Its not in my profile.php

HELP!

Problem solved.

Double check your code. It works perfectly fine with the pop-up window. I have tested this on a few sites with zero hacks installed and on my main site with multiple hacks installed and the pop up message for new PM works perfectly fine. ;)

Make sure you're adding below pmpopup = $pmpopup, and not replacing it. Also make sure profile.php has the 'pmpopup' => INT.

More than likely you have another hack installed that may have overwritten a piece of the popup message code or you replaced a line instead of added below. Either way this hack in no way shape or form if applied correctly henders the pmpopup. :)

* Installed

However, how would I go about getting the sound to play on my home portal page. Working fine on the forums page but it would be nice to have it playing on both..

I'm running VbPortal 3.0.0 Beta 2 & Vbulletin 3.0.3

I've never messed with vBPortal however it should be about the same as vBAdvanced. If your vBPortal calls for the navbar then it should already have the neccessary code to play the sound. If it does not call for the navbar template then you could simply add

at the top in your vBPortal template header or index template. You will have to copy the "/sounds" folder and all the wav files in the folder to your vbPortal folder (most likely the root of your website.)

Example: If you have your forum here: /home/www/forums. Your sound folder is here: /home/www/forums/sounds. You will have to copy that folder to /home/www so that you will also have a folder containing all the sounds called /home/www/sounds. That should do the trick. ;)

Hey it worked thank you very much, took all of 2 minutes to do.

Me is happy thanks again.....

Glad I could help and I'm very happy that you enjoy it.. :)

Okay so heres the deal, everything istalled fine, but,

some people can hear it, and others hear nothing...i dont even hear it. none of the members i tested with have it disabled...

i used the re-directing of the wav file from another server, cause my host doesnt allow sound files..

but the problem is (besides ME not hearing it) is that my member who did hear, it opened her windows media player and played the file...she said she got two pop ups, one for the notification of the PM and another that was a blank white page...

any thoughts on these problems???

There in lies the problem. How are you trying to redirect? It's a bit strange that your host doesn't allow .wav files. I think I'd have to have a talk with my host if I were you. ;)

Hi,

I am using this redirect code for the wav file, i say wav file cause i am only using one..

$sound = iif($bbuserinfo['pmunread'], '<embed src="http://www.lssix.com/forums/sounds/message'.$srand_snd.'.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true"></embed>');

mine looks like this

$sound = iif($bbuserinfo['pmunread'], '<embed src="http://www.washmeclean.com/downloads/sounds/message'.$srand_snd.'.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true"></embed>');


any idea?

i am contacting my host to see if i can get 1 wav file to be accepted, to try and solve this :)

only one file? That could be it also. When the page loads it maybe looking for the other 9 wav files to play and not playing anything because there's no wav file. But it will play once it finally randomly hits that one wav file..

Since you're only using one wav file, instead of using:


$sound = iif($bbuserinfo['pmunread'], '<embed src="http://www.washmeclean.com/downloads/sounds/message'.$srand_snd.'.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true"></embed>');

try using:

$sound = iif($bbuserinfo['pmunread'], '<embed src="http://www.washmeclean.com/downloads/sounds/message1.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true"></embed>');

or change message1.wav to the name of the wav file you're using(testing) and see what happens. :)

Also, are you sure the file is at http://www.washmeclean.com/downloads.../message1.wav? I could not find a folder on www.washmeclean.com called downloads/sounds?

omg! that worked!

well atleast for me it did!

thank you so much!

;)

its http://washmeclean.com/sounds/message1.wav

:) theres nothing on that site, its just for music and video files

i am so happy its working now!

:)

Glad you got it.. ;)

Where do I add this query? :ermm:

You should be able to add this query through your Admin CP or by using a program called MyPHPAdmin.

In the Control Panel goto "Import & Maintenance" (usually located at the bottom of the control panel), then click on "Execute SQL Query". In the "Manual Query" box you can type the SQL query

then click on "continue" to apply it.

Hope that helps. :)

I would like to install this mod but I am not sure that it will work with VB 3.0.03? Can you tell if it will?

works fine on my 3.0.3 :)

Aye, like turbidblue states, works fine with 3.0.3. It should work fine with any 3.x.x :)

Pretty neat... I installed it. Thanks!

Does it go with an WMA or MP3 Audioformat.

Becaus at Sounddogs , i`ve found alot of sounds. :surprised:

Thanks for your help!
