Im not getting any sound???

is the code supposed to be put like this

if ($newpm['messages']==0) {
$lightbulb='off';
} else {
$lightbulb='on';
}//new PM sound hack
if ($unreadpm['messages']==0) {
$sound='';
} else {
$sound='<embed src="message.wav" autostart="true" hidden="true">';
}
//end new PM sound hack

or have no break in it like this?

if ($newpm['messages']==0) {
$lightbulb='off';
} else {
$lightbulb='on';
}
//new PM sound hack
if ($unreadpm['messages']==0) {
$sound='';
} else {
$sound='<embed src="message.wav" autostart="true" hidden="true">';
}//end new PM sound hack

Is this code supposed to be added to the main one in the first post or is this to replace it?

Replace it. I am using his sound file or I would have just released it as a new hack :D

Thank you very much. ;)

Nice Amy. You should release your version as its completely different (and much better) than mine. :) You can still use the sound file. :p

Or if you don't want to release it seperately I can add your version (as a seperate hack) to the first post of this thread and put your name by it if you want.

Thank you EvilS1 :)

I am going to delete it for now and tweak it a wee bit. I wasn't paying attention this morning and the version I have now only works if popups are turned on. I'll fix that and release it when it's done tonight or tomorrow.

Jucin,
Add the code exactly as it is in the instructions.. It should look like this:
And make sure you added $sound to your forumhome_pmloggedin template.

If you've done that and uploaded message.wav to your forum directory then it should work.

I installed a hack like this once for vB and it ended up breaking the Popup on PM feature. Does this hack interrupt that feature at all?

Also, could someone show me what would have to be modified to have this feature picked as default when signing up instead of email on pm.

This will have no effect on the popup pm feature. And once you add the hack it will already be default for all users because its not selectable in the profile. If you would rather have it so that users can choose if they want a sound to play or not then take a look at amykhar's version of this hack.
