New Mail notification sound

Nos · August 16, 2009, 12:07:05 AM

One plugin that Squirrelmail has that I really like is when you received a new message a .WAV file will play.

Since RoundCube uses Ajax to refresh and check for new messages, it could be fairly simple, for some one familiar with the script, to implement a call to a sound file if there are new messages.

There are already PHP addons available for scripts such as PHPforums/Nuke and Vbulletin and I can provide links if it will help.

Check myroundcube - Project Hosting on Google Code in a few days. I have coded a plugin which is currently tested. I will release it in a few days.

That is great. If you need some one to help test, please let me know.

It is online. Notice, you have to update to recent SVN trunk. Link is on the project wiki page.

I do not see it. Could you please give me the direct link? Thank you.

myroundcube - Project Hosting on Google Code ... it is bundled in the download section.

rosali this is great. I love it and it works perfectly.

Is there any chance you would consider making it so you can have more than 1 MP3 choice?

I would love to be able to upload more MP3's and have a drop down in the settings section to choose which sound you would want.

It is not a problem to have a choice of sounds. But I won't make it to allow users upload their own files.

No, I do not want users to upload sounds. That could prove disastrous.

I would upload the sounds to the server. Users only have the option to choose from the sounds on the server from a drop down box.

sound_notifier plugin now has multiple sounds.

I had this working on my test system, but recently it stopped. Currently using 3031, I believe. Any thoughts on where I should look?

rosali · October 30, 2009, 04:13:53 AM

It still works for me on recent SVN trunk. Any chance for a test access for me (test account and ftp access to RoundCube)?

ABerglund · October 30, 2009, 11:25:23 AM

Never mind, Rosali. It turns out that it still works everywhere except in Safari (4.0.3 in Snow Leopard) on my own laptop. Definitely a browser issue, not a problem with the plugin.

ABerglund · October 30, 2009, 06:09:58 PM

Figured it out. I had the Click-to-Flash (Flash-blocking) plugin enabled. That plugin prevents the sounds from playing. I had to manually edit the plugin's prefs file to add my Roundcube box to the Flash whitelist.

The plugin use soundmanager2. So if anyone else has any problems please refer to:
