Alert sounds for Manage without Quicktime Plugin

[streaker69]

I use Firefox all the time, and one thing that's always bothered me is the default association with playing an embedded WAV and needing to install Quicktime. I also like to use Gilles plugin Manage, but never liked that I needed Quicktime.

I made a little change to the manage_ajax.php so that if you're running Windows to watch Cacti, it will now embed Media player in both IE and FF without the need for Quicktime to be installed.

Just install the following code at the indicated places.

Code: Select all

	$sound = $config["url_path"] . "plugins/manage/images/themes/".$theme."/attn-noc.wav";
	print "<object id=MediaPlayer1 CLASSID=CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6";
	print "standby=Loading Microsoft Windows® Media Player components... type=application/x-oleobject width=640 height=480>";
	print "<param name=fileName value=".$sound.">";
	print "<param name=animationatStart value=true>";
	print "<param name=transparentatStart value=true>";
	print "<param name=autoStart value=true>";
	print "<param name=playcount value=0>";
	print "<param name=uimode value=invisible>";
	print "<param name=Volume value=-450>";
	print "<embed type=application/x-mplayer2 pluginspage=http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/MediaPlayer/ src=".$sound." name=MediaPlayer1 uimode=invisible width=1 height=1 autostart=1 playcount=0 volume=-450>";
	print "</object>";

It should work without much issues, as long as you have Media Player installed on your Windows Boxen. Make sure you comment out the lines indicated in the screen caps or else you'll have either two instances playing, or you'll be asked for the QuickTime plugin as well as having the sound play.

I am telling Steve Jobs that you are trying to avoid Apple's Quicktime!
You are sooo busted!

Oh, and what is FireFox?
That better be another name for Safari or I am telling Steve about that too!
