Sound notification for DVZ Shoutbox 2.1.x, 2.2.x, 2.3.x

[skrilaxrev]

Hey, I wonder, is there any button for users possible to turn the sound off?

That would be great. Thank you in advance!

[adriango]

for me doesnt work, any help?

[Alex_70]

does not work, does not play any sound, has anyone found a remedy?
 
I use MyBB 1.8.24

[Alex_70]

No solution?

Thank you ! works like a charm  

Tested on:

• DVZ Shoutbox 2.3.3
  
  
• MyBB 1.8.24
  

For those that have issues with no sound playing after following the guide , go to the mp3 file you downloaded and placed in the /images folder ,right click it ,choose properties and next to "read only" and "hidden" you should have something along the lines of this file came from another computer with a unblock button next to it , if you click unblock the sound will play
*obviously tho you you wont hear sound alerts for your own message , can be tested by logging in as a second member on a different browser with both open

It doesn't work, I don't have any locks in the .mp3 file

Can you provide an url, and (if needed) a test account ?

No, because everything works in localhost on my computer

You could try using ngrok to give us access.

This slight addition allows you to add a sound notification for DVZ Shoutbox when a new message is posted, using its internal hooks system.

1. Open the attached file and upload the dvz_shoutbox.mp3 file to the images/ directory on your server


2. Open the dvz_shoutbox template (Global Templates) and add the following code after {$javascript}

<script>
dvz_shoutbox.callbacks['update'].push(function(){
    if ($('#shoutbox .entry.new').length) {
        var audio = new Audio(rootpath + '/images/dvz_shoutbox.mp3');
        audio.volume = 0.2;
        audio.play();
    }
});
</script>

How do i need to edit it so the sound only plays when a user got mentioned and not on every single message?
