I tried this on my custom Helios theme and got nothing... running smf1.1.1 and tp 0.9.7 yet it works fine in my default theme

After installing the package for TP 15 - http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=454

I went to my custom theme, opened up index.template.php and added this code right before

// display user name

Is the gotmail.swf and other files needed in the right directory to be listed?

I ain't the creator.  I just posted what I got out of my index.template.php file      Hahaha, let me check my Helios index.template.php file. brb

Edit - just as I suspected, I don't have it in my Helios theme.

I tried putting the code in different areas of the index.template.php file.  can't figure it out

Try this version. The code you have to insert if you use a custom theme is as posted.

In your index.template.php find:

Code Select Expand

     if($context['TPortal']['showtop']==1)

After that add:

Code Select Expand

if ((isset($_SESSION['unread_sound']) && $_SESSION['unread_sound'] < $context['user']['unread_messages']) || (!isset($_SESSION['unread_sound']) && $context['user']['unread_messages'] >= 1))
{
echo '
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="     http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="0" height="0" id="gotmail" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="gotmail.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed src="gotmail.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="1" height="1" name="gotmail" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>';

// Save a session so it wont loop
$_SESSION['unread_sound'] = $context['user']['unread_messages'];
}

I will attach the file to this post which should be installed first before doing these edits to your custom theme.

Thanks bigguy that piece of code did make the audiable pm work in my helios_multi11_rc3_tp theme, however it re-enabled my top header with the user box and created a second instance of my AJAX ShoutBox inside the userbox 

Here is my index.template code, without your code. Maybe you can see why this happens

[bigguy]

That is very wierd. I have never heard of it doing that. After I upgrade my forum I will take a look.
