[Script Request] Growl Notifications by samus on 01-17-2010 at 12:36 AM

Hey,
I've used this site once before trying to get Growl Notifications and tried to adapt RunIt. The thread is here.
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=91899

Basically, I failed miserably trying to do so and I was hoping somebody else could put one together please? (A)

This site here (http://mutualexclusion.blogspot.com/2008/07/integ...essenger-with.html) has instructions to start Growl Notifications and more, but I can't work out how to set up and adapt it.

If anyone has any spare time I'd really appreciate help on creating this myself or an actual script.

Thanks,
Samus

I can take a look at this for you in a few hours when I wake up

Thanks. :)
I've had a go at doing this through the Growl command line tool and a shell object, but I get an error when I try to run it.

My code:

code:
OnEvent_ContactSignin(Email){
var shell = new ActiveXObject("wscript.shell");
var cmd = 'growlnotify "' + Email + 'signed in"';
shell.Run(cmd);
}


I'm not sure why this doesn't work. Another problem with using this method is that a shell window will pop up every time someone signs in so I want to try and integrate it with another API of theirs.
The list of APIs is here:http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/developers.aspx

They have a Javascript one but I don't really understand it as it uses a flash file to send the notification or something..  [Image: huh.gif]

Thanks for replying,
Samus

You forgot the "function" keyword before your function definition.

js code:
function OnEvent_ContactSignin(Email){
    var shell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
    var cmd = 'growlnotify "' + Email + 'signed in"';
    shell.Run(cmd);
}

js code:
function OnEvent_ContactSignedIn(sEmail) {
    new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell').Exec('C:\\Program Files\\Growl for Windows\\growlnotify.exe "'+sEmail+' signed in"');
}

You may need to change the path if you installed it into a different location.

Cheers guys I've got it working now :D. I've added new functions etc. for different features and I'm going to try and modify it so that a command window doesn't pop up every time.
Any one know if its possible to do? With a batch file it would be @echo off wouldn't it? I can't seem to do this through the script.

Once I've got it all working well I'll package it up and anyone who wants Growl for Messenger can have it. :)

Cheers Samus

What version of windows are you using? It doesn't pop up under Windows 7 and the script works as it should

NOTES

     There are two ways to use growlnotify.
     
     1. growlnotify.com - Can be used from the console or included in batch scripts. Writes
                          success/failure messages to the console when the notification is
                          sent. Equivalent to using just 'growlnotify' with no extension.

     2. growlnotify.exe - Can be used with tools like AutoHotkey or launched from other GUI
                          applications. Will not spawn a console window, so notifications can
                          be sent silently
. No success or failure report is available. Must
                          explicitly include the .exe extension in order for Windows to
                          recognize which version to use.

Ahh. My bad for not reading that. I'll continue working on this when I've got time and release it soon.
