Animated PM icon

Thanks! That shows up the image I don't get the sound though, but I'm assuming it might be because I'm running firefox?

Did you add a sound file?

Has this process changed for 1.1 and .97? I have tried and cannot find any of that code in the newer versions.

I have edited the tportalblock.template.php (which is where it is handled for me anyway).  This is under the user block.

Find:

Code Select Expand

                   if($context['user']['unread_messages']>0)
                        echo '<br />'.$bullet.'<a style="font-weight: bold; " href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">' .$txt['tp-pm2'].' ',$context['user']['unread_messages'] , '</a>';
Replace with:

Code Select Expand

                   if($context['user']['unread_messages']>0)
                        echo '<br />'.$bullet.'<a style="font-weight: bold; " href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">' .$txt['tp-pm2'].' ',$context['user']['unread_messages'] , ' <img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/msg.gif" border="0"><bgsound src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/Mail01.wav" border="0"></a>';

I couldn't attach the wav file, but you can easily find your own.  Just make sure to change the file name in the above code so it will work.

Thanks for posting this, added it to my boards.  Interestingly, the sound does not work in FF.  However, does work in both IE and Opera. ?? .

yes.. it not play with ff

anybody can resolve this?... tq

A quick google on bgsound for Firefox and you'll discover that the bgsound tag is IE specific. You'll need to use embed. If you don't know how to use embed, then google again.
