Integration with vBulletin - Sound notification

a audible alert [ You've got mail ] will let you know that you have recieved a PM. also Until you open a pm, you are notified each time by a sound that plays once when you load a page.

open template navbar and find :

<if condition="$show['notifications']">

add after

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="0" height="0" id="gotmail" align="middle">

well ie sucks anyways

but yes it dose work with IE7 i have tested it cause thats the only player that will work with both and have a visulizer (if enabled)

you are probally just missing the windows media player plugins for IE

but anyways who cares about IE ?? Its horriable and should have never been invented

i tell all my members that use IE to get FF

and i even have a message displayed to members who use IE to get FF and give them a dl link lol and its from google adsence

trust me i have been making websites for a few years now with html xhtml and all that crap and vb

personly i can code a site perfectly and look at it in FF and it looks the way its suposed to
but then if you look at it in IE its just jacked up

but anyways back on subject try finding plugins for WMP for IE that should make it work for you

Im with you bro on FF i tell my members all the time , sadly my Analytics says i have double the members using IE than FF so i have to find a happy medium .

And this sound plays needs to only play on forum home as it triggers on everypage

Thread, then again on inbox , then again on the message

it keeps playing 3 times at leaset as the notification doesnt go away when your click on notifications in the nav bar you have to listen to it untill you read all your messages ect..

BLAHHHHHHH !

Find a code that works on IE and FF out the box and only plays once on initial notification and im there dude

well here is what you need to make it only play on the forum home page

put before the code
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT === 'index''">

put after the code
</if>


if you want it to play on vb advanced portal as well then use this before the code

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT === 'index' OR THIS_SCRIPT === 'adv_index'">

but as i said it should work with IE and FF
as i have test it on both and it works
so you probaly just need a windows media player plugin for it to work on IE
most people have that plugin so idk what else to say
thats the only media player that i have found to work on both IE and FF
so thats all i can help you with im sorry

[Keyser S?ze]

yea but question is will that make it only play once

right now, u get a PM the PM popup only comes one time per new PM

[T2L]

I am NEW here - but im keen to test this out - and I require your assistance:
I am unsure of where to place the file within the directory structure on the server

{{{ Soundnotification.swf }} with the full link

can you give me an example of 'the full link' (is it a path to the file? ) and location for the actual swf file.
Thank you

i have 3.7 and no instance of the notifications when doing a search. anywhere else to add?

[avitor]

i tr whet karim varsion and is works perfectly on vb 3.7.0
no change nead to code
thanks again

[joopster]

I have 3.7 and not even in the default template do I have that phrase.

[ShadowOne]

Okay i have a fix for everyone ...

add this

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['notifications']"> 


right before this

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['pmstats']"> 


then add this

PHP Code:

</if> 


after this

PHP Code:

$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></if> 


then add the music code shown.....directly after

PHP Code:

<if condition="$show['notifications']"> 


Note...this will also make the private message part go away if there are no PM's and it will make the sound on every REFRESH until PM is read...

[ShadowOne]

did that work for everybody?
