Re: Growl (or Prowl) to Panic Status Board app

[Daniel Siemer]

Im going to go ahead and cover both fronts (either from growl to
status board or prowl to staus board) since I'm not entirely sure what
you mean. Growl does not provide access to our history database
through any API, however, in Growl 2.1, we are adding a script action
for 10.8 users, which would allow you to do whatever you wanted with
notifications, including sending it to your own served system for
Status Board.

For the other direction (putting prowl notes into status board), you
would probably need to talk to Zac who made Prowl, as I don't think he
has made any API available for retrieving notifications that have been
sent to Prowl.

Not sure either of these really help you, but we are certainly willing
to offer any help we can

This is a great idea. Will, pls post back when you have made some progress. I'd be interested to see how this goes. Thanks.

Thanks very much Dan - I have not had anything back from the Prowl forums but would love to make progress. Sadly I don't think my engineering chops are up to it! Any volunteers!

This is what a dev friend of mine wrote back to me - but as you can see from his reply he has no time! Anyone else??

Technically possible.

Since 2.0 Growl allows 'Actions' - so one could write a custom action which would send info from notifications to a small custom web app, which would then serve up the data in the form that Statusboard is expecting.

Once growl 2.1 comes out you could do something similar but easier by using a script instead of the custom action (but still using the lightweight custom web app)

Normally I'd give it a go, but don't have the time at the mo…
