I have decided to attempt the next step of the "You've got mail" plug-in. I would like users to be able to select one of 5 greetings for their e-mail alert. To achieve this, I have been editing the user_profile_basic template and added the necessary radio options. Please see the attached screen shot.
In the gforum_user table, I added the variable 'email_greet'
I now need to get the forum user_profile_basic to update that field in the table based on the user's selection...
To achieve this, I need to find the pm file that includeds the necessary code to assign values to the table. User.pm handles some of these items, but not all. Specifically, I would like to see the sections that process the user_yahoo and user_icq fields. I think those would be better suited for this need.
Once the table was being updated, your code in the category_view page would look like:
<%if current_user_new_messages%> <embed src="http://www.yoursite.com/sounds/<%email_greet%>" autostart=true hidden=true loop=false>
<%endif%>
