Private Message Sound Notification

Private Message Sound Notification plays a random .wav file whenever your users recieve a Private Message. I have included 10 .wav files in the zip that you can use or you can find and replace the .wav files with any file(s) of your choosing.

This is installed at: http://www.lssix.com (You will have to register and just PM yourself to test.)

- This used to be installed on my site running vB2 and was originally requested by myself and written by EvilLS1.

• Plays the .wav file from any page on your forum as the code is located in the navbar template
• Sounds are ON by default
• Sounds do NOT play when you enter the User CP or when entering the Private Messages. Thanks to EvilLS1!
• Sounds do NOT play if the member is a part of a special usergroup who does not have access to read PMs. Thanks to Onkel_Tom!

Unfortunately I have no plans or use for this. I just wanted something simple that would make a noise when getting a PM is all.

Hi, a small problem with this hack if the access to the PN system is not allowed by the admin for a special usergroup like "awaiting confirmation" and having the "New user welcome PN" Hack installed.
The user get's the sound message that he has new PN but can't read the mail unless he confirms his registration and an admin has activated his account.

Solution:

find in Template Navbar:

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT!='private' and THIS_SCRIPT!='usercp'"> 

 $sound

</if> 


replace it with:

PHP Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT!='private' and THIS_SCRIPT!='usercp'">

    <if condition="$show['pmstats']">$sound </if>

        </if> 


With this change vB first check if the PN system is activated and then play the sound. Otherwise no sound will played.

Im getting a Mysql error when A user tries and changed the sound notification.

I found out that I cannot find this from the install file:

OPEN profile.php

***** FIND *****

globalize($_POST, array('newstyleset' => INT, 'dst' => INT, 'showvbcode' => INT, 'pmpopup' => INT, 'umaxposts' => INT, 'prunedays' => INT,
'timezoneoffset', 'startofweek' => INT, 'languageid' => INT, 'threadedmode' => INT, 'invisible' => INT, 'autosubscribe' => INT,
'options', 'modifyavatar'));

Its not in my profile.php

HELP!
