Growl only works in Fluid. Are you using firefox, or fluid?

So, you enhanced a script with out providing any credits to the original author(s), and claimed all of the work as your own?

technoweenie's awesome idea to "stick on your name" has been implemented. Everyone tell Rick what a great guy he is :)

Hi Technoweenie,

I've included your idea in the latest version of the script, with a slight enhancement - the ability to change what the "trigger" is, using a regular expression if desired for ultimate flexibility.

Thanks!

Tim

Technoweenie,

That's an awesome idea! I think for it to be useful for me, it'd have to be configurable per room. Perhaps we could make it store the settings using cookies, and then inject a small configuration pane with checkboxes:

Alert Me:

( ) - Always
( ) - When someone says _____ <->

My name on campfire is "Tim H.", and people only refer to me by "Tim".

I'd be happy to merge this in if you want to do it. Or, if I get some time, I'll do it and credit you generously. Thanks for your contributions not only to this script, but to the community in general. We're all better off for it.

Tim

jimh,

Did you make sure that you clicked install from within the campfire module (not safari)?

Cordially,
Tim

Oh, and importantly, thanks to Todd Ditchendorf for creating FluidApp!

Instructions have been updated for Campfire 0.8.3. Campfire rocks! Having the ability to extend it makes it even more awesome. Thanks, 37 signals!

Just wanted to make a note here:

This script is working better than the badges.

I've always had problems with badges not showing in the new Campfire / Fluid setup (that 37signals hooked up). Since I've created and started using this script, I haven't failed to receive a single growl message. Yet, I often times fail to receive the badges!

There was an error in the install script (the folder name for where to install the script to was wrong). I've updated and added more detail to the instructions. This has been successfully installed on at least 6 different computers that I know of :)
