Message notification (sound)

[cpinhawaii]

Re: sound & smiley/online bug:

I found that by adding the following to the page holding my chat, the smiley/online hide/show seems to work fine in IE (so far):

<style type="text/css">
body, html {margin:0;padding:0;background:#ffffff;font-size:13px;
font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,san-serif}
</style>

(If someone could post the above in the correct place, that would be great, Thanks)

For adding sound to the new message event:

I created a swf file 1px x 1px clear, which carries a wav file, set to play onload, no loop.

(You'd have to change the value of the param movie and embed src tag to your swf file.)

Add this xajax function (innerHTML) if new chat message sent (not sure best place to put this, haven't studied your script too much.)

function soundalert()
{
$objResponse = new xajaxResponse();

$alert = "<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=4,0,2,0" id="ping" width="1" height="1">";
$alert .= "<param name="movie" value="/audio/ding.swf">";
$alert .= "<param name="loop" value="false">";
$alert .= "<param name="quality" value="high">";
$alert .= "<param name="wmode" value="transparent">";
$alert .= "<param name="bgcolor" value="#78A2BD">";
$alert .= "<embed name="ping" src="/audio/ding.swf" loop="false" quality="high" wmode="transparent" bgcolor="transparent" swLiveConnect="true" width="1" height="1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></object>";
$objResponse->addAssign("sendalert","innerHTML",$alert);
return $objResponse->getXML();
}


Add this at the very top of chat.html.tpl.php to hold the object info:

<div id="sendalert"></div>

This worked for us, using thewall example in xajax. I'll certainly share my swf if someone could help in placing this code.

Hum this tip is nice but I think I can't integrate into the pfc source code because it will change the page layout.
I don't want pfc changes other elements styles than its own box.

However I will suggest this workeround to IE users. Thanks.

That's just what I happened to use for my page, but any code should do, ie

body, html {margin:5px;padding:5px}

This wouldn't have any effect on your base html.

[phpfreechat]

Wrong, if the parent page body has a default zero margin/padding, it will affect the layout.

Bonjour,

Ne serait-il pas possible d'avoir la barre du titre de la page qui clignote quand il y a un nouveau message ?

I don't know if it is easy to do but why not having a flashing title bar on new message or connections ?

[phpfreechat]

This kind of notification is planned in the roadmap but I don't know when I will have time to work on it.

I've got sounds working in FF, haven't tested elsewhere. I put in a delay so that you don't get beeped for every message, just if there's been no activity for a minute.

I'm using the embeddummy code posted above. The patch to src/command/getnewmsg.class.php is:

55d54
< $other_data_sent = false;
67,69d65
< if($this->u->nick != $m_sender) {
< $other_data_sent = true;
< }
78,83d73
< $lastTime = $_SESSION["lastTime"];
< if ($other_data_sent && $lastTime != 0 && time() - $lastTime > 60) {
< // Beep to get user's attention.
< $xml_reponse->addClear("embeddummy","innerHTML");
< $xml_reponse->addAssign("embeddummy","innerHTML","<embed src='success.wav' hidden=true autostart=true loop=false>");
< }
88d77
< $_SESSION["lastTime"] = time();

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)^^

With the lastest subversion revision (753) it's now possible to have window title notifications.

Hi. I'm using 1.0-beta7, and I don't know where to put the coding to make the sound play when a new message is received. Where should it go?

Also, I've made a sound in Audacity which is at http://gark.goldeye.info/chat/sound.wav. Feel free to use it if you like it.

[phpfreechat]

markdarb, please wait for the next 1.0-beta8 release, it will include the sound feature.

[markdarb]

OK, thanks. By the way the program in general is really good; thanks and keep up the good work!

- Est-il possible d'avoir un son lorsque l'on parle de nous sur un salon, même si on est déjà sur ce salon ?

- Est-il possible d'avoir un son lorsque l'on nous parle en MP ?

- Is it possible to play sound when someone talk about us on a room, even if we are already on this room ?

- Is it possible to play sound when someone talk in private ?
