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.

DATABASE QUERY (1)

FILE MODIFICATIONS (2)

ADD PHRASE (1)

FEATURES:

• Plays ten(10) random .wav files when a user recieves a PM (you can change this to any number)
• User CP option to allow your users to turn the sounds on/off
• 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!

Just some not all? Could be the type of browser they're using. Could be their volume control. Could be a number of other things. As long as you're using IE, Netscape, Mozilla and you yourself hear the sound when you receive a PM then you know you installed it correct. It's a user error on their end.

yeah that did it thanks alot this makes today a good day.

[dreamhost]

not sure why, but i get no sounds at all. I also get no errors anywhere. I made sure to change the sql injection to reflect my db prefix and that went in ok.
I also put the sounds dir in my site.com/sounds and also site.com/vb/sounds/ just in case it didn't have the path correct.
All themplates and both files were edited as instructed.
ideas?

[350Chevy]

What's the address of the site? I'll see if they work on my end or check the source code of the output on the page. Might just be a typo somewhere..

Just visited your site. Strange, it doesn't even call for the sound file. :ermm: Are you sure you dropped the $sound string in the navbar or somewhere in the header?
