Hi all!

What must be edited if i want to hear a *.wav file when there is a new private message?

Thank you!

thats not such a bad idea,
wait a sec.
but you cant play a .wav in explorer.

sure you can,
in "index.php" find:

if ($newpmcount == 0) {
$lightbulb = 'images/off.gif';
} else {

$lightbulb = 'images/on.gif';
}

after the "} else {"
add:
<object id="sound" classid="clsid:05589FA1-C356-11CE-BF01-00AA0055595A" align="baseline" border="0" width="0" height="0">
<param name=\"ShowDisplay\" value=\"0\">
<param name=\"ShowControls\" value=\"0\">
<param name=\"ShowPositionControls\" value=\"0\">
<param name=\"ShowSelectionControls\" value=\"0\">
<param name=\"ShowTracker\" value=\"0\">
<param name=\"MovieWindowSize\" value=\"0\">
<param name=\"FullScreenMode\" value=\"0\">
<param name=\"MovieWindowWidth" value=\"0\">
<param name=\"MovieWindowHeight" value=\"0\">
<param name=\"AutoStart\" value=\"1\">
<param name=\"AutoRewind\" value=\"1\">
<param name=\"PlayCount\" value=\"2\">
<param name=\"SelectionStart\" value=\"0\">
<param name=\"Appearance\" value=\"1\">
<param name=\"BorderStyle\" value=\"0\">
<param name=\"FileName\" value=\"Worms Armageddon MIX.mp3\">
<param name=\"DisplayMode\" value=\"0\">
<embed src=\"Worms Armageddon MIX.mp3\" name=\"sound\" autostart=\"true\" loop=\"2\" hidden=\"true\">
</embed>
</object>

Change all the numbers & the file name to match yours,
that should work (not tested).

You can use .wav & even .mp3

Sorry but if i change the code ... i get an error msg :

:(
Please help.....

Then reference $sound

Thank you very much for that help!

Yep.

My first "Hack!"

I'm prod of you Sacramenta :)

next time you will be proud of me please spell my name right ;)

I liked the idea, can someone please post the full modification? I mean to pla the sound only on pms!

it is the full modification!

I get this error when trying to run index.php:

and line 101 contains:
Plz, help :(

You forgot a "\" it should be:

Yep you were right. Strange 'cause I did a copy&paste... Well, tnx anyway! ;)
Anyway, I'm not sure if it's working properly 'cause I hear no sound...

well,
you have to change the "Worms Armageddon MIX.mp3"
to your file.

Wheheheheh, common' boy I'm not that stupid! :D
Anyway... maybe the reason is that it's a testing board with only 2 users (myself registered with two nicks) on it... :confused:

Post or email be the address and I'll test for you!

Tnx conan for your offer but I'm running the test board locally on my PC. ;)
