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.

FEATURES:

• 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!

Hrmmm... Server doesn't allow sound files? How strange!

in global.php edit this line to point to your sound files

find:

$sound = iif($bbuserinfo['pmunread'], '<embed src="sounds/message'.$srand_snd.'.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true"></embed>');

change to example:

$sound = iif($bbuserinfo['pmunread'], '<embed src="http://www.lssix.com/forums/sounds/message'.$srand_snd.'.wav" autostart="true" loop="0" hidden="true"></embed>');

the above example should pull the sounds from my server..

if you wish to place the sounds elsewhere make sure you have the wav files installed on the other server all named messagexx.wav (xx denotes the number 1-10) and point it to that server and folder name. I haven't tested the above but don't see why it wouldn't work.

Sweet addition.

/me clicks install.

Question, how many queries does it add? My guess would be one?

Thanks again for a cool hack.

[neocorteqz]

where do i set it to use more sounds?

Edit:

is anyone having problems in Mozilla??

And the pop up box is not popping up.

I never tested, it shouldn't add any queries until a PM is sent. If anything then yes, one query.

In global.php

	srand(make_seed()); $srand_snd = rand (1,10);

change the number 10 in rand (1,10) to whatever number you wish.

I just tested my board and the popups work fine for me with this. The code should not have any effect on the popups.

Thank you sir, other than popups not popping up, it works great. Nice Job.

I'll see if I messed something up.
