Shout Box Sound/Beep On Post And New Message

[Pebble]

The new version has now been submitted to the PB's library, but as it is a weekend I don't think it will be approved until late Monday or Tuesday.
I'll post here when it is accepted.

If you are a member @ IOD then it's live on there and you can test it out for me (and test to make sure the error message doesn't appear when pressing 'participated')
Thanks,
Pebble

Reviewed and approved, Pebble - thanks for the updated version.

Shoutbox Sound v2


Images :




Keys used : None.

Demo : Pebble Plugins

V2 download : link

Re-written to update a couple of features and a bug fix. The sound file system this plugin uses is still the same format, so information regarding sound files in the first 9 pages is still relevant.

This new version will still need some testing so any problems, please post in this thread.

Features:
Sound on new 'Shout', 'New shout' & 'Delete'.
Checkbox option for sound on or off OR a volume slider.

But you need to do some work!

You need to find somewhere to host two files or somewhere that will allow you to hotlink to them.
This will work for modern browsers only. ie: IE9+ , FF, Chrome + others that support HTML5.

If I've lost you already then here are some more intructions and advice.

Host:
It's hard work finding a free host that will accept mp3 and ogg. After some searching myself I found www.fileden.com/
If you can use photobucket then you can use FileDen, they work in the same way (ish).
Sign up for an account (I had no problems with spam etc)
From your computer upload your sounds and then use the DIRECT link to the file to use in this code.

I'm not sure if there are any restrictions with fileden. If so , let me/everyone know.
If you know another hosting site, let us know!

Sounds:
This site I found useful: www.soundjay.com/beep-sounds-1.html
A site to convert mp3/wav/ogg files: MediaIO (found by blueshead )

For IE: you need an .mp3 file. example: yourhost.mp3
For FF and Chrome you need a .ogg or .wav file example yourhost.ogg

Browser	MP3	Wav	Ogg
Internet Explorer 9+	YES	NO	NO
Chrome 6+	YES	YES	YES
Firefox 3.6+	NO	YES	YES
Safari 5+	YES	YES	NO
Opera 10+	NO	YES	YES

CSS targets:

#volslider{
The slider body
}

.voltooltip {
The tool tip for volume level
}

.ui-slider-handle {
The slider bar
}

.volume {
The volume speaker image
}
#vminus{
The minus text
}
#vplus{
The plus text
}

Pebble, I haven't tried it yet ~ busy day. But I trust the others when they say it works and thank you for your quick, timely fix. It's very much appreciated.

Pebble, thanks for fixing this.

Pebble, sorry to bother again, but I use the button and not the volume slider and it appears that I can't uncheck the box for no sound. I try, but the check mark remains.

Hi ♥ ℒʊ√ ♥,
Can you go to pebbleplugins.proboards.com and post there in the shoutbox to see if it works for you.
Also, can you give me a URL where this is happening and let me know what browser you are using.

[♥ ℒʊ√ ♥]

Hi, Pebble. Just went to your test site and posted in your shoutbox. The on/off check mark works for me there in the same browser it isn't working in for mine ~ Chrome. I also see it has a "Hide" button which mine isn't showing. My ~ Forum ~ . Anyone can join ~ there is no restricted registration ~ if you want to try it for yourself.

Hi, I just joined your forum.

The problem is the effect you have on your buttons on that particular theme. When you go to click the button, it moves , and so the 'click' no longer registers.

If that is done with a plugin you can reverse the order of this plugin and the one that creates the effect. It should/could then work.

 

I tried it on other themes that don't have that effect on the buttons and it worked fine.

Thank you so much, Pebble ~ for your speed in replying and your great detective work! Much appreciated.

Pebble. I've been trying to get the chat box sound to work on my forum, and it doesn't seem to be responding at all.  I've hosted the sound file I wanted to use and everything, but still nothing?  Can you please help? :3  I downloaded the recent version of the plugin as well.  You can find my forum here: 

Fidelius , 

Thanks!

The links to the files are incorrect.

You need two files. The first will end in .mp3 and the second one should end in .wav or .ogg
The links you have used are for a web age that has the sound on it, which wont work.
I'd recommend dropbox as that host seems to work for most people. Instructions for using it can be found in the previous pages.
