UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6.4 - 6.7 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas Adding Sound

Is it possible to add soundbite(s) to the UBB PM when someone has a private message awaiting them? I heard this on another forum program when I logged onto it, and it was a Bugs Bunny sound file telling me that I had a message (PM) waiting for me.

In public_common.pl
[code][/code]That should work

I'm testing it on my board, but no one is online so I won't find out if it works (wishes he could PM himself)

I'm running UBB.Classic v6.4.0 and can't find document.writeln(">$pmnote_one " + haspms + " $pmnote_two<" + "/" + "a>"); in my public_common.pl file.

That's cause it's a new feature in 6.5, it notifies you with a gif if you have a PM

Are you saying I can't use it in v6.4.0?

well you can't do it this way, I bet someone could make a hack for it, or you could upgrade to 6.5

Your using Jordo's PM Notification, i'm assuming. In that case, search for the javascript you entered into public_common.pl. Probably along the lines of searching for this:
[code][/code]Well, about 3~ lines down add the code i gave above after the '} else {' line.

I'm using your progie - PM Folders [ 6.4.x ]. The only thing I can find in public_common.pl that is even close, is the following:

Any suggestions?

Because your using 6.4, there's no way to alert users outside the PM Folders, such as the forum summary etc... Unless that's what you want to do?

To do it in the PM Folders, here's what to do:
open ubb_folders.cgi
[code][/code]If your wanting it on the forum summary, then you'll need to install the PM Notification Hack(click here for it) . And then you can modify it exactly as i mentioned above with the javascripts.
