[Bigguy]

Most likely, yes.

[Bigguy]

I just tried to search for the line of code he says to on the first page, in the index.template.php file and I cant find it in there.

Try breaking the line up and searching for something similar.

All there is in the "Index.template.php" file about PM`s is this:

// Go to PM center... [pm]
   if ($context['user']['is_logged'] && $context['allow_pm'])
      echo ($current_action == 'pm' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
            <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'pm' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
               <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">' , $txt['pm_short'] , ' ', $context['user']['unread_messages'] > 0 ? '[<strong>'. $context['user']['unread_messages'] . '</strong>]' : '' , '</a>
            </td>' , $current_action == 'pm' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

I will download and install RC2 on my test server, and look into modifying it for you thats if its still required.

Let me know please, before I put the time in.

thanks
Psyclones

[Bigguy]

I would like this modification, it was great having it on the forum. I dont want you to go to any extra work but if you have some time on your hands that would be great.

[Psyclones]

Open themes/default/index.template.php and Find this

// Go to PM center... [pm]
   if ($context['user']['is_logged'] && $context['allow_pm'])
      echo ($current_action == 'pm' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
            <td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'pm' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
               <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">' , $txt['pm_short'] , ' ', $context['user']['unread_messages'] > 0 ? '[<strong>'. $context['user']['unread_messages'] . '</strong>]' : '' , '</a>
            </td>' , $current_action == 'pm' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

Add a new line after the ; and paste this directly underneath it

Code Select Expand


//play audio for you got mail
if (($context['user']['unread_messages']) >= 1){
echo '<embed src="gotmail00.wav" hidden="true" autostart="true" loop="false">';
echo '<noembed><bgsound src="gotmail00.wav"loop="infinite"></noembed>';
}


make sure you copy the wav into your smf forums directory if its not already there.

ive tested it and it works
hope this helps

[Bigguy]

So right after this line:

</td>' , $current_action == 'pm' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

Directly under it I put what you posted. 

[Bigguy]

Ok when I do that I get this:



(Sorry for dbl posting)

[Psyclones]

I think you have pasted it in the wrong place.

it should look like this when complete

[Bigguy]

Ok, I`ll check on that soon. I did put it in the wrong place, I put it right underneath it.Thank you very much for your help.

[Col]

Have you got anywhere with the JS version?

Also, maybe it should be optional in user profiles. Maybe not optional if the mail comes from the top admin. I know this would be a lot more work though.

[Bigguy]

I`m still getting an error when I put it in. I have other mods installed, could that be the problem I`m probably doing it wrong but I cant see that as I did it the first time ok.

[Psyclones]

Col: Its on my to do list, might move it to top if i get time.

Bigguy: Cannot understand why it is not working here is the code from my index.template.php

[Bigguy]

I tried your flash version but for some reason I dont here anything.

EDIT: I hear it now but I put it in the directory that smf is installed to not the directory the theme is in. It works great btw. No plug in necessary lol. Good work.
