What do I need to do to make sure all users have the sound turned on by default?
This require vB Pager 3.0.1 + Installed.

From phpMyAdmin, run this query:

UPDATE user SET pagersoundoption = 1;

where user is your user table plus TABLE PREFIX if you got one.

If you want to change the default value for the sound option to all new registerd users and make it enabled by default.

From phpMyAdmin, under the user table, edit the pagersoundoption field and change the Default value to 1 then save it.
Or run this query

ALTER TABLE user CHANGE pagersoundoption pagersoundoption SMALLINT( 6 ) DEFAULT 1 NOT NULL;

Thanks! Now will this be checked by default when people register?

BTW, thank you UAE for all your personal help which you have provided me. I truly think this is one of the most useful additions to vBulletin that I've seen!

Hey Brandan,
aah, no it won't be checked by default, I dunno, but I thought some users may find it annoying or something, so I had to leave it turned off by default, and they can always trun it on whenever they want!
The pager message box already pops up right on their faces, so it's already a notification

No problem mate, you're welcome

Hi

Still cannot use ff to send a pager message as it shows as no characters left to use.
even when logged in as admin.

As soon as i enabled the sound option IE 7 crashes, I have done the IE update thingy.

Still the pager message popup is nearly the full height of my forum

Any ideas please?

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME hack... and UAE, thank you for all your assistance, I tested the update version on my testing forum, then installed it on my regular forum, and it is working just great, sound and all. Thank you for an excellent hack, and your time and trouble helping me. *CLICKS INSTALL HAPPILY* :banana:

[shadowdancer36]

I reinstalled but wasn't able to hear the sound. I have it activated in the options. The wav file goes in the main forum dir right? BTW I'm getting less DB errors now.

It does not matter if were admin or a registerd user, it's all based on the Number of Maximum Characters Per Pager Message you entered in the vB Pager usergoup persmission.
Make sure it's greater than 0.

Okay, Make sure you have uploaded the wav file, edited the modifyoptions template from the latest ReadMe file, and enable the sound options from both, ADMINCP and USERCP.

User table is the user table from your vb's database, if you were using a TABLE PREFIX, then add that to the UPDATE Query
