Sending URL's in Notifications - is it possible?

[jjohnston]

Hello everyone!

I was searching this board for an answer but didn't come up with anything so I figured I would just register and ask.

Is it possible to send a URL in a Growl notification and have it appear as a clickable link? I am working on an intranet application and I wrote my own php 5.2+ based implementation of the Growl protocol and I'd like to send links along with text to the people who use Macs in our office.

Right now I am sending stickies with the url but you can't even cut-n-paste them out of the popup.

Thanks!

It won't show up as a clickable link. However, if your php bindings support them, growl supports something called a clickback. Basically if they click the notification, it'll go back to the application and say "they clicked it" from which you can do whatever you want with that knowledge.

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure if I can get it to do what I want since the notifications I am sending aren't triggered while the user is on the website but I will look into it.


Is their documentation on how to implement the clickback functionality?
