How to have sound notification for user entry into chat

by **Hobbiest** » Wed Jan 19, 2011 1:35 am

First of all, I am using phpfreechat1.3. I tried putting the below codes to have a sound alert for new user join.

Code: Select all: function alert() { $objResponse = new xajaxResponse(); $objResponse->addAssign("alert","innerHTML","<embed src='entered.wav' hidden=true autostart=true loop=false>"); return $objResponse->getXML(); }

in srcphpfreechat.class.php:

and

Code: Select all: <span id='alert'></span>

in defaultchat.html.tpl.php

entered.wav is placed in default directory and the root as well.
No sound. It did not work. Also, it disabled the message notification sound !

I tried some Javascripts but they did not send notification to all opened chat clients.

Can someone help me please. Thanks in advance.

You Need to call the function function alert();

Possibly using <body onload="alert();"> because users loads the page when enters..

Just saying something..

Do you mean to say that add:

Code: Select all: <body onload="alert();">

in defaultchat.html.tpl.php

It disables the message notification for incoming messages.

Never mind that wouldn't work because it doesnt get sent for the user you only able to heard it because your browser request it.. not them.

In order to workout something you must find the JS code that calls the Sound when someone PV you...
Check at pfcclient.js... and find the code..

I used JS and it makes sound only on my machine, not other open chats.

So, when someone sends, message, which code kicks in to make sound?

This sound notification is very helpful to bring more people in the chat room as some people leave the chat client on to find someone to chat with. Often, they miss people just logged in and quit after waiting for sometime.
