Sound alert when a member logs in
08 May 2008, 09:52
Carefree in his 2008 Mod added a sound a text alert to the PM. Is it possible to add text a voice alert when a member logins to the forum?<

An alert to who? The user? Hopefully they know when they logged in...<

LOL No to the rest of the users who are logged in :-)<

It's possible, yes. But think how annoying that would be on a very active forum? There's at least one with tens of thousands of users. The voice would never finish completing the announcement.<

My forum is a private forum and has very few members and they are requesting this. If you can help, it will be greatly appreciated.<

If nobody beats me to it, I'll write it when I'm through with version 2 of the "Buy Me a Beer" mod. I promised it first.<

Straight off, I can tell you you're going to need the active users mod to achieve this.
You could run it off the M_LASTHEREDATE field in the MEMBERS table but this would play your notification whenever a member marked all topics as read on active.asp as well.

also be aware that it will not actually do what you think, it won't make a sound unless I actually refresh or change pages, so it won't actually beep when someone logs in at all.<

unless you continuously ping the server with a JS script which will slow your server down probably considerably depending on the refresh rate.<

Sound is not that important. Just notification popup message like in yahoo messenger when a friend logs in.<
