Message notification (sound)

[cactux]

Hello,

In the roadmap, there is :
"New messages notification, for example : changing the page title by adding [n], n being the number of unread new messages, or by adding (*) when a message contains the user's nickname."
This would be great.

Can we also have a sound notification ? Configurable as option so users can disable it

I don't know if it's fesable only with JavaScript.
Maybe using a Macromedia flash applet coupled with some javascript but I don't want to use such "none-free" technologie.

A only JS solution would be better.

Ca semble en effet difficile sans plugin :

salut
j'ai pt une idée pour jouer les sons mais sous windows...
dans la page, mettre un lecteur de type windows mediaplayer ( comme on en vois svt...) et modifier a l'aide de javascript le son a lire et le lancer ( très simple a mettre en oeuvre ... )

They use a sound notification. Maybe it will be usefull for you. This is more for live chat on the site, instead of irc like chat.

yop pt une solution

le script pour jouer le son

<script type="text/javascript">
function notification(son){
document.embeds[son].play();
}
</script>

coté html :

<embed src="chimes.wav" autostart="false" hidden="true" />
<input type="button" value="essayer" onclick="notification(0);" />

Works great in IE but not in FF and others..

I found this one and it seems to work on FF and IE

Code: Select all

6. Using Dynamic HTML

Dynamic HTML allows you to use JavaScript to write new HTML code into your page and let it be interpreted by the browser. The trick to using dynamic HTML for sound replay is to write into a region of the document the HTML of an embedded sound set to automatically start replay on load. Here we are going to use a <span> region and write into it using its "innerHTML" attribute:

      function DHTMLSound(surl) {
        document.getElementById("dummyspan").innerHTML=
          "<embed src='"+surl+"' hidden=true autostart=true loop=false>";
      }

We can now create the dummy span region and just pass the URL of the sound file to the function to play it:

      <span id=dummyspan></span>
      <form>
      <input type="button" value="Play Sound" onClick="DHTMLSound('success.wav')">
      </form>

Here is my solution (in 3 steps!!)
Add at the end of ~pfctemplatesdefaultchat.html.tpl.php this line:

Code: Select all

<span id='embeddummy'></span>

Find this line in ~pfcsrcphpfreechat.class.php:

Code: Select all

      $xml_reponse->addScript($c->prefix."parseAndPost(".$m_id.",'".addslashes($m_date)."','".addslashes($m_heure)."','".addslashes($m_nick)."','".addslashes($m_words)."','".addslashes($m_cmd)."',".(date("d/m/Y") == $m_date ? 1 : 0).",".($from_id == 0? 1 : 0).");");

Add after that line this one:

Code: Select all

      $xml_reponse->addAssign("embeddummy","innerHTML","<embed src='success.wav' hidden=true autostart=true loop=false>");

It works fine on win32 with FF and IE. You just have to get a sound file called success.wav into clientfile directory.

I found my one here but I dont like it (Hope there are no copyright problems)^^

Tu envoies koi par le ftp?

merci

C'est bon çà marche, dsl

Here is my solution (in 3 steps!!)

Yes, it works, fine.

I'd like to know if the sound plays only when you load the page or if it does for every connected person, to let them know somebody is entering the chat.

thanks

[fronck]

yes it works this way, congratulations,thanks

[fronck]

sorry but I have a error message every two posted message saying:
"une erreur s'est produite au niveau de cette page"
(a mistake occurs regarding this page)
pity

[fronck]

and finally it close the browser, not yesterday. I changed the sound today, but even with the other sound, the same problems occur.
please help

The solution above doesn't seem to work with 0.8. I can't even find the given places in the files.

I tried recreating the solution but the sound only plays on the sender's browser (which defeats the purpose).

Ideally I'd like a clickable button that will play a sound on everyone's browser when it's clicked. (Yeah, potentially annoying but I will be using this for a limited number of people that can be trusted to use it correctly.)

A sound that plays every time a new message comes in or the feature as listed in the roadmap (New messages notification) would also work for my needs.

Any suggestions on how to get any of these ideas to work?
