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

hehe anyone got the AOL "You've Got Mail" sound bit?

Remove:

PHP Code:

srand(make_seed());
$srand_snd = rand (1,5); 


Change:

PHP Code:

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


To:

PHP Code:

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


That removes the random thing and just makes one sound play, right? I asking opinions because this is what I tried and some bugs were reported. Somethign I did wrong or missed?

Can anyone else confirm that it doesnt work with CMPS 2.20 installed?
I would really like to install this.
I tried going ahead and installing it anyway but I can't find this code in my Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates - Navbar

<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>
		</if>
	</td>

The closest I got is this..

<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>
		</if>
	</td>

Im not sure if thats the difference in having CMPS installed and not..
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is a really cool mod and I would like to put it in.

Thanks in advance.

I went ahead and installed it.. The only thing that was different was the code mentioned above.

It seems to be working correctly.

Pretty cool..
Thanks.

Yep still not working on CMPS index, but it does work every where else

I right clicked>save target as to get it
also have Owen Wilson 'You've Got Mail' if anyone is interested... my zipping capabilites went by-by on my computer otherwise I'd zip em up and attach them here.

This would be the correct way of removing the random wav and making it static, right?

I took the 'easy way out' and just uploaded a single wav file 5 times but with the message1.wav message2.wav message3.wav etc as it's name
hate messing with code when I don't have to

[SloppyGoat]

Yeah, I thought about doing that, but it seemed easier to just remove the random part and make it a static file. Did the PM notification popup stop working for you when you installed this hack?
