Growl & HFS via hfs.events - Windows Notifications

[SilentPliz]

Salut à tous!  
   
I just found the Growl software; Perhaps you already know it, this was not my case.
This program allows you to view programs events in the notification zone of Windows.
It's possible of use it via hfs.events file with HFS:

Download and install Growl:

http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/

After install, load it and set it as follows:

- In the Display tab, choose the display style that you want
- In the Security tab, check Allow network notifications & Allow notifications from websites

(info:right-click on the tray icon of Growl for deactivate the notifications...)
   
This is a minimum setting that lets you use Growl in conjunction with HFS.
Other possibilities exist, such as the forwarding of notifications to another computer, to a mail box ... etc.
You will discover for yourself the other options.
*************************************************

Some examples of possible events in hfs.events file (Alt+F6):

[+start]
{.exec|"C:\Program Files\Growl for Windows\growlnotify.exe" /t:"HFS" /i:"c:\icon\HFS.png" "HFS is launched!".}

Result:

[+quit]
{.exec|"C:\Program Files\Growl for Windows\growlnotify.exe" /t:"HFS" /i:"c:\icon\HFS.png" "HFS is closed!".}

Result:

[+download completed]
{.set|itemname|%item-name%.}
{.exec|"C:\Program Files\Growl for Windows\growlnotify.exe" /t:"%user% download!    %time%" /i:"c:\icon\HFS.png" "\n%user% has downloaded:\n\n{.^itemname.}\nIn this folder:\n%folder%\n\n".}

Result:

[+upload completed]
{.set|itemname|%item-name%.}
{.exec|"C:\Program Files\Growl for Windows\growlnotify.exe" /t:"HFS UPLOAD!   %time%" /i:"c:\icon\HFS.png" "%user%@%ip% has uploaded this file:\n\n%folder-resource%\{.^itemname.}\n\nSpace disk free: %diskfree%\n".}

Result:


Other events...

[+server start]
{.exec|"C:\Program Files\Growl for Windows\growlnotify.exe" /t:"HFS   %time%" /i:"C:\icon\HFS.png" "The Server is ON!".}

[+server stop]
{.exec|"C:\Program Files\Growl for Windows\growlnotify.exe" /t:"HFS   %time%" /i:"C:\icon\HFS.png" "The Server is OFF!".}

Green = Change your paths, if necessary.
Orange =  Optional
/i: = icon ...Optional

Red = Encrypted messages ... Optional
- In the example above the password is the word : secret and this password is also settled in Growl like in the picture below :



----------------------------------------------------
     /pass:password

     /enc:algorithm      The encryption algorithm to use.
                          Valid values: NONE|DES|3DES|AES
                          If a value other than NONE is provided, the
                          /pass and /hash switches must also be included.
                          Default: NONE

     /hash:algorithm      The hashing algorithm to use.
                          Valid values: MD5|SHA1|SHA256|SHA512
                          This value is only used if the /pass switch is also
                          set.
                          Default: MD5

----------------------------------------------------

/i:icon              
The icon to show for the notification.
Must be a valid file type (png, jpg, gif, ico).
Can be any of the following:
- absolute url (http://domain/image.png)
- absolute file path (c:\temp\image.png)
- relative file path (.\folder\image.png) (relative file paths
 must start with a dot (.) and are relative to growlnotify's location.
        
Note: Icons specified as urls will be passed as urls (links).
Icons specified as local files (either absolute or relative) will besent as binary data.
Default: no icon

    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.

The form included in the default template...
! Think, if necessary, to modify the paths in the [special:forms] section of template.

Test:

HFS.EVENTS

[+download completed]

Hey !  worked on events for the new tpl files you've made for Growl for Windows ?

[SilentPliz]

The events do not need to change ... adds just the red switches in your template.

Change also the word secret by your password.

[Dragon_Hunter]

 i couldn't find where i should change the secret to my password in "Nexr_TPL_Fun_Mod.tpl"

but i found it in "Default_with_notification_form.tpl"

and thar i'm using "Nexr_TPL_Fun_Mod.tpl" in the hfs

[SilentPliz]

Find the word secret and replace it with your password.
