mode = 2; break; default: $threadedmode = 0; break; } } } if (!empty($db->explain)) { $pageendtime = microtime(); $starttime = explode(' ', $pagestarttime); $endtime = explode(' ', $pageendtime); $aftertime = $endtime[0] - $starttime[0] + $endtime[1] - $starttime[1]; echo "End call of global.php: $aftertime\n"; echo "\n

\n\n"; } /*================================================= =====================*\ || ################################################## ################## || # Downloaded: 00:42, Tue Mar 14th 2006 || # CVS: $RCSfile: global.php,v $ - $Revision: 1.328.2.2 $ || ################################################## ################## \*================================================ ======================*/ ?>===============*/ ?> ?>

and how do i undo the query?

ALTER TABLE user DROP pmsound;

okay but my error remains? what have i done lol??

i even reuploaded the original global.php

Not sure. Uninstall all your edits...and redo. Maybe you forgot a bracket or something.

i have.....omg!!! lmao and it was such a good day

oops one wouldn't delete now i have
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: make_seed() in /home/content/T/y/e/Tyegurl/html/vBulletin/global.php on line 386

Delete the product.

Thank you! I shall install this tonight! :)

Ive uninstalled the hack and reinstalled and it still works flawlessly on my end. It must be user Err0r somewhere.

Can user's choose what sound they want? or can we as admins?

No, it is completely random. If you only want 1 sound, you would put only 1 wav file in the directory, and change 1 line of code.

Is there a setting so that a user can turn it off if they don't like the sound?

Yes, in their USERCP, edit options. (see screenshot) :cool:

Oh ok, thanks Paul

yes it must be but i don't understand how.....it happened on two files....the last few lines on the file were copied and then pasted right below the original lines. but oh well i have removed it finally and i will try again just not quite yet...noticed it might interfere with one i all ready have. am weighing the pros and cons.

thanks for the help ;)

Works great, but how do I get it to work with vbAdvanced? It only works when visiting the main forum area, and not anywhere on my CMPS page.

Thanks in advance. :D

I can't get it to work at all. I've run the query via phpmyadmin. I edited all the templates and get no sound when sending a private message. I uploaded all the sounds to the main root folder. It didn't work, so I tried the forums folder, but still no go, any ideas? And yes I also added the new phrase as well.

Problems with 3.6.6. Anybody knows another one for this updated version?

Here are some other "You've Got Mail" wave files.

This works nicely in 3.7.3 PL1. It would be very nice if it did not require file edits tho as when I upgrade, i have to apply this again.
