    Solved Using Sound Notifications

    Post by timberella October 5th 2020, 10:13 pm

    I would like to install a sound notification using this tutorial.
    https://help.forumotion.com/t157012-sound-notifications

    I have a sound that I'd like to use for the sound notification, but I don't know where I can upload it to use it. Is there a place within the Admin Panel for uploading sounds?

    My forum is phpBB3.

    You add your sound in this part of the template coding:
    Code:
     Â           <audio id="sound">        <source src="you_sound"/>      </audio>

    It replaces the part that says your sound.

    Use the mp3 one.

    Thank you for the code.

    The sound file is on my computer. I don't know where to upload it.

    Can I upload a sound file in the Admin Panel?

    @SLGray @skouliki Thank you for the links. I was able to get my sound uploaded.


    Going back to the tutorial: https://help.forumotion.com/t157012-sound-notifications

    I found the <head> line in the code, but I do not have <body> in my overall_header template.

    Also, is this code supposed to add a bell icon to the toolbar as in the tutorial screenshot? Yesterday, when I installed only the Javascript, I saw text on the toolbar not the bell icon and I'd like the bell icon to appear as in the screenshot.

    @SLGray, that may be it, I'll try that.

    Okay, so I added the two lines of code into the overall_header template. Then I installed the Javascript. I sent a PM to myself to test, and I do NOT see a bell icon as is shown in the tutorial screenshot. I see text on my toolbar where a bell image appears in the tutorial screenshot.
    https://help.forumotion.com/t157012-sound-notifications

    Do I at least have the code correct for the sound?
    Code:
    <audio id="sound"><source src="https://voca.ro/14ZDn6DdNV2R"/></audio>

    Well, did you hear the sound when you tested it?

    Question, did you read this?
    This may have problems if you have made a lot of change to your templates.

    @SLGray, there are hardly any changes to the templates. And no, I didn't hear any sound.

    @Ape, that's a good question. I saved the changes, but I don't know if I published it, so I will go back and check that.

    Edit: No, I hadn't published the template, but I just did. The bell icon shows on the toolbar and displays as in the tutorial screenshot.

    I am hearing the sound now so that is all good.

    The problem I'm having now is that I hear the sound, but I do not receive the notification on my toolbar until I refresh my page. Any suggestions for getting the toolbar to refresh itself so that I don't have to refresh my page?

    Sadly The Notifications Don't show up until you refresh and right now there is no way to fix that.
    I think this was reported before but right now it's something we have to live with.

    I am glad you got the bell and the sound to work now.

    If the main problem is solved please scroll to the top of the page and mark it solved.

    Regards.

    @Ape, thank you for the info about the Notifications not showing up. I had noticed it stopped working and didn't know why. I'll wait and hope it gets fixed one day.

    Thanks for all your help. I'll mark the topic solved.

    Thanks for your help, @SLGray.
