notifyTab not firing

[roschler]

I don't think this is a bug, probably me just doing something wrong.

I'm trying to play a sound whenever a new user joins the chat room. I put a Javascript alert() call in pfcgui.js::notifyTab for testing. I've tried joining and quitting the chat room several times and the function never fires. What am I doing wrong?

I know the code is there because I can see my modifications in FireBug, after the chat room loads.

Thanks.

notifyTab() is fired only when the someone speak in a hidden tab.

Kerphi,

I found what works pretty well. In pfclient.js::updateNickList() I put the following code:

if (this.nickname == "{My Admin Name}")
{
alert("Nicklist has changed.");
}

I'd still like a client side way to tell if I'm the Admin so I can change the code above to check for admin status instead of the nick I use for my Admin name.

Or, is there a way to prevent someone from grabbing an Admin nick? When I get the time, I'll try adding code to auto-identify anyone who tries to "/nick" to an admins nick. I'm worried that, in the meantime, someone might grab the Admin nick and make a nuisance for me if I try to use it myself.
