hi people,

This is a port of this by paul41598 used with permission.

This is basically the same thing as the original thread but it uses the vbulletin plugin system so the file edits are no longer necessary

to install this you will need to

• read install.txt
• edit templates (navbar and modifyoptions) => template_edits.txt
• upload the included "sounds" directory to your vbulletin root

that's it

"Clicks Installed"
1st to post and it works great see it working at www.muppets-clan.com

Thanks m8 great mod!!

Funniest sounds ive ever heard LOl

is there any chance to play .swf with this mod ?

so do you need to make the file edits or not? :D

Nope

I don't understand flash.I've tryed it in the past and it's to complicated for me :tired: althrough anybody is free to modify this so it can play flash files.

then why in the instructions are we told to make edits?

those are template edits not the same as sourcefile edits ..... templates always need to be edited by hand.I could include the complete edited template but according to the vbulletin licence i'm not allowed todo that ...

ok; the way you worded your description... you said no file edits were necessary, but you clearly have to edit files. weather or not their source files or templates, you ARE making file edits. i just wanted to make sure i wasn't reading it wrong.

Not working on my forums. Best the luck too all...

actually to tell the truth you can automate that

but i've never used it before.

installed

Hello,

As the author stated, no file edits need to be made.

Files are stored on your server. Templates are stored in your database. There are no file edits, only template edits. Their IS a difference!

I'm curious why would you want this to modified to play a .swf flash file?

As a flash developer I can do virtually design anything in flash, but puzzled why you would want a .swf to play in this mod.:confused:

Is this a FireFox only hack? I’m asking because I tested it in opera, IE and FireFox and the only one that don’t show up messed up is in FireFox...

Check attachment for image details.

Hello,

as I said... you are editing files one oway or the other. who cares if they're on your server or in the database or in outer-space? are files being edited... yes.

TY V.Much

Does this add any queries to every page the navbar is on at all?

Nope

Great!

Thanks for the reply...

nope working fine in internet explorer and firefox (i don't have nor use opera) but in your screenshots i see you have some other modofications like the "my mood" thing and that could be the cause

But if this is the case, why this work ok with Firefox in my case? if it was a prob with other hacks, this would happend all the time and in all the browsers, no? :S

I mean, this only hapend if I have you hack on, if I deactivate it, stays normal... :X

does not work on my forum either :(

I get a message asking to "allow an Active X control on this webpage"

Hello,

From just these posts, I can tell you are one of those people that has to always be right. My point is that "NO FILES" are being editted, as the author stated. If you have installed other modifications from this site, which I believe you likely have, you should know by now that "FILE" edits are when you have to edit the core files, or better yet, PHP. "TEMPLATE" edits are when you don't have to have FTP access, or cpanel access, and can you can edit through the admincp.

No matter how you slice it, on THIS site, "FILE" edits are referring to "CORE" PHP "FILES". This modification, as the author stated, does not require ANY FILE EDITS.

I normally don't get caught up in these trivial types of discussions, but I believe you need to understand the difference between the 2. This site bases "FILE" edits on core "FILES". If it says the mod needs a file edit, expect to edit a PHP file. If it says it does not, you won't be editting any files...but you may need to edit some HTML in the templates.

Amen for the hook and plugin system because 99% of the modifications on this site don't require any more "FILE" editting.

Personally I hate web sites where I have any sound unless I click on it. But this is actually really handy.

A nice idea would be while reading a thread that i hear a ping - ajax check? :)

not necessarly all browsers work differently in the way they "undertsand" the html codinng

after you installed this ? hmmmz that shouldn't happen

Yeah same here i get pretty frusterated when i website i'm just browsing trys to play sound (these days you see this allot through flash animations) and i really dislike it

Well.. I know that m8, but I mean, your hack is the one making my template messy, if I deactivate it, the template in the navbar shows ok...

So, maybe a conflict with some other hack, is that what you saying? If this is the case, any ideas to solve this?

Thanks.

Installed this but not getting any sound after sending a PM

...and receiving :confused:

That's normal it plays only for "receiving" new pm's

mine works fine did you followed the instructions correctly ....

works great thanks:)
*i changed the location of the sounds folder in my current and main style i use so MyStyle/sounds/3.wav

i like to keep the folders in my root simple as possible

Uninstalled...

Yes I know that, its still don't work when "receiving" new pm's

I installed this but no sound
followed all the steps, did everything in install and edit instructions.
using vB3.6.2/Mozilla browser, have checked my on usercp and sounds are *not* disabled...
there is no place in admincp>vboptions to 'set' *which* wav file to use
I uploaded all 5 of them into 'root'

I'm the original author of this mod...I'll have to take a look into this port maybe.

Eq4bits: Make sure the sounds folder is in root, and not just the files

Anyone can PM me, if they need help. I can check out your forums and figure it out

n/m it DOES make the sound... but if you have the pop-up notification also enabled (at least in Mozilla) the sound doesn't play till you click one of the two options on the pop-up. So i just disabled the visual pop-up in usercp :D
