Works like a charm now. and congrats on your 2500th post Josh <br /> <br />What kind of load does it put on the server if I use a different .wav file? Any suggestions on the length?

Each time it plays... it's basically bandwidth used. So smaller is better if bandwidth is a concern for you... or if you have lots of members on dialup. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Josh I get a blank popup box and no sound hearing<br />

Hmmmm... does it work if you open the popup in the broser directly?

Also a blank page

Do you have a URL so I can look?

must have been fixed <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[]Hmmmm... does it work if you open the popup in the broser directly? [/] <br /> <br />Hi Josh, <br /> <br />same problem here (Link removed - was for testing purposes only). <br /> <br />Installation was done exactly how you described it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm... <br /> <br />I'm not 100% sure why it doesn't work for you. I see it's working, but he popup won't generate. <br /> <br />Might be HTML fussiness. <br /> <br />I've learned a bit more since I originally wrote that. <br /> <br />Try this.... download the messagepopup.txt file that I attached to THIS post. Rename it to .php. See if that one works for you. <br /> <br />If anybody else want to glance at it (attached to this post) and see if they see any issues with how I've done this, please do. <br /> <br />If this one works for you, please let me know, and I'll put this version into the distribution. <br /> <br /><fingers crossed>

Hi Josh,<br /><br />this one works - thanks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I've updated the main post in this thread to version 2.2.<br /><br />This fixes an issue with the popup not appearing on some servers. Thanks Stefan for your help in testing this. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Kudos goes to JustDave (although he doesn't know it) because looking at his popup graemlin panel gave me clues as to how to fix this. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Plagiarism is the biggest form of flattery. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

This is one of my FAVORITES! <br /><br />Thanks for the help, Josh!

Ah probably an error in my instructions. <br /><br />The part you are finding wouldn't have the U_PrivatePopup, U_PrivateAlert being queried. It would end with U_Number.<br /><br /><img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

hier is the right one:<br />##########################################<br /># Find this:<br />#<br /><br /> // -----------------------------------------------------------------<br /> // We are automatically adding StyleSheet, Status, Privates and<br /> // FrontPage and Number to each SQL call because this information is needed by<br /> // every script that makes a call to authenticate<br /> if ($Query != "*") {<br /> if ($Query) { $Query .=","; }<br /> $Query .= "U_Username,U_Password,U_SessionId, U_StyleSheet, U_Status, U_Privates, U_FrontPage, U_Number";<br />}<br /><br />#<br /># Change to this:<br />#<br /><br />// -----------------------------------------------------------------<br />// We are automatically adding StyleSheet, Status, Privates and<br />// FrontPage and Number to each SQL call because this information is needed by<br />// every script that makes a call to authenticate<br />if ($Query != "*") {<br />if ($Query) { $Query .=","; }<br />$Query .= "U_Username,U_Password,U_SessionId, U_StyleSheet, U_Status, U_Privates, U_FrontPage, U_Number, U_PrivatePopup, U_PrivateAlert";<br />} <br /><br /><br />###################################################

Thanks. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

bugs? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /><br />1. Set the default for Private Message Popup & Private Message Alert Sound<br /><br />they are allways on NO<br />if i change them to YES it's ok<br />if i open the "Personal information" again they go automatic on NO<br /><br />2. Set the Private Message Alert Sound<br /><br />if the Private Message Popup is on YES allways the sound,<br />YES/NO in the Private Message Alert Sound without function<br /><br />3. below the footer its showing a Query: <br />+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br />Query: UPDATE w3t_Users SET U_Rating = '40' , U_Rates = '8' , U_RealRating = '5' WHERE U_Number = '2' <br />Query took a total of 0.001 seconds. <br />+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br />a bug? ore possible don't show that?

I don't understand what you are asking.<br /><br />That query has to do with user ratings.

ok...one's more<br /><br />1. when i open "Main Configuration" >> "Personal information, email, password, etc." >> "Do you want a Notification box for Private Messages?" <br />the default setting is on "NO"<br />if i open "Main Configuration" >> "Personal information, email, password, etc." >> "Do you want an Audio Alert for Private Messages?"<br />the default setting is on "NO"<br />if i change both with a click on "YES" the popub works.<br /><br />when i go again into the "Main Configuration" >> "Personal information, email, password, etc."<br />both settings show me again "NO" <br />why they changed automatic?<br /><br />2. if "Do you want a Notification box for Private Messages?" is on "YES" i always hear a sound, the <br />"Do you want an Audio Alert for Private Messages?" didn't work....YES ore NO....always the sound!<br /><br />3.after a new config from "Personal information, email, password, etc." it shows me a Query

It sounds like you've got a problem in editbasic.php or changebasic.php Double check those intructions. Make sure you've modified the query to grab the current settings of on or off. My guess is that the fields or variables haven't been added, and without a value, its going back to the default.<br /><br />Then the sound always playing and the query on the bottom of the page, I'm not sure. That query has nothing to do with this.... that's a query to update someone's user Rating. So that makes me think you are missing a } somewhere in ubbt.inc.php. Double check those files as well.
