Play a sound when a user has a new PM. · **Released**: 07-19-2005

This is a simple template mod that will make a sound file play when your user has an unread private message.

No screen shots enclosed because I can't take a picture of a sound.

thank you so much ! it's perfect !

just a hint for those that are looking for sounds, there was a hack released for 3.0.x that did this exact thing and had 10 small wav files that did it.

I don't remember which one but a quick search will show it and you can grab those 10 wav files quickly. Fantastic though that someone brought it to 3.5.

Amy I'm one of those lurker types but I have to say you're fantastic

Thanks I installed it and used a sound file for Meg Ryan from the movie you've got mail.

Has anyone installed this on 3.5 gold?

Is this going to play just one time or every time a page is refreshed...?

I don't want to bother users and for it to get anoying...

Mine plays whenever I refresh the page or go to a new page if I haven't checked the PM. But I did set it so that users have the option to turn it off.

Its nice to be able to turn it off but I think I will pass on installing this. Hope someone or the author of this figures out a way to get it to play just when a new PM for the user is in their box.

ok Guess Im dumb? I followe the instructions and nothign happens

I went into my style, and opened my navbar template (navbar breadcrumb section)
and added this


<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo[pmunread]>0">
<script>
function EvalSound(soundobj) {
var thissound=document.getElementById(soundobj);
thissound.Play();
}
</script>

<embed src="/forums/message.wav" autostart=true hidden=true id="sound1"
enablejavascript="true">
</if>

I than copied my message.wav file to my websites root and forum directory and It doesnt do anything for me..

Im using VB 3.5 Gold..

Any help!?

I also sent myself a number of new emails for testing..

It's not for emails. It's for private messages. Also, if you are testing it with private messages, what browser are you using?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
