Private Messages Enhancements - pmsound notification

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

Great!

Thanks for the reply...

Check attachment for image details.

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

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?

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.
