Multiple file attachments?

[Logician]

guys you both receive a pm in your board and check source code of the page where this code is displayed. Check how is it rendered in the source code. You probably have file name or URL problem. Dont forget to have sound files in this format:
sound1.wav
sound2.wav
etc.

and caps is important in file names!

Also is the directory structure..

You da man...

I thought there was something missing there... It was searching for sound1wav because your line of code was missing a simple . lol

should be:

PHP Code:

srand(make_seed()); $srand_snd = rand (1,18); 
$sound='<embed src="audio\sound'.$srand_snd.'.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true"></embed>'; 


Thanks again.. it's working perfectly! Now if only someone would release the multiple file attach.

You can also add the function to the global file then call it from the template to call the sound from any page.. which is preferable.

350Chevy, what is your exact coding for that piece of code?

Take all the code out of index.php that you added...

Make sure this code is NOT in index.php

PHP Code:

function make_seed()  { list($usec, $sec) = explode(' ', microtime()); return (float) $sec + ((float) $usec * 100000); } 


and place in in global.php under

PHP Code:

<?php

next find this in global.php

PHP Code:

$headnewpm='';

if ($checknewpm and $bbuserinfo['userid']!=0 and $bbuserinfo['pmpopup']==2) {
  if ($noshutdownfunc) {
    $DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET pmpopup=1 WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
  } else {
    $shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY user SET pmpopup=1 WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]";
  }
  $newpmmsg=1;
  eval("\$headnewpm = \"".gettemplate('head_newpm')."\";");
} 


Add this under that code:

PHP Code:

$headerpms='';
$permissions=getpermissions();
if ($enablepms==1 and $permissions['canusepm'] and $bbuserinfo['receivepm']) {
  $ignoreusers="";
  if (trim($bbuserinfo['ignorelist'])!="") {
    $ignoreusers='AND fromuserid<>'.implode(' AND fromuserid<>',explode(' ',$bbuserinfo[ignorelist]));
  }
  $headpm=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS messages FROM privatemessage WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND messageread=0 AND folderid=0 $ignoreusers");
  if ($headpm['messages']!=0) {
    srand(make_seed()); $srand_snd = rand (1,10); 
    $sound='<embed src="audio\sound'.$srand_snd.'.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true"></embed>';
  } else {
    $sound=''
  }
} 


and place your sound1.wav - sound10.wav files in the sub folder called audio.

then open your header template and place $sound anywhere you see fit.

That should do it.

I have the blinking PM's in header mod installed too so I'm not sure if all that code above is needed but it should still do the trick.

Whoa! You've totally lost me on this. I have no sound wav files at all. All I needed to do is get the sound code that Logician wrote to play on new messages. Where do I get the sound wav files.

LOL Boofo!

The hack is for playing a random sound file when you have a PM and it produces a file name like sound1.wav, sound2.wav etc. So you have to have these files in your server.. :knockedout:

I just gave you the code, I don't use the hack myself. So I hope 350Chevy will help you with wav files..

You can find lots of free wav files here:
