That's interesting, especially given it's ColdFusion

I simply added underneath (line 28)

Next error is Variable WRITEDUMP is undefined, however, the push notification does get sent

Many thanks for this… great code!

Hey James… easy fix.. the init function is looking for a return type of 'ctzprowl' just rename the file to ctzprowl.cfc and use the line unchanged… and it should work fine for you..

Im loving the idea of this, however i must be being stupid and missed something as it doesnt work for me … ColdFusion 8.0.1…

i edited the example.cfm and changed:

// connect to the prowl cfc //
p = createObject(”component”,”ctzprowl”).init(_apikey=apikey, _callto=callto, _providerkey=providerkey, _appname=appname);

TO:

// connect to the prowl cfc //
p = createObject(”component”,”precf9_ctzprowl”).init(_apikey=apikey, _callto=callto, _providerkey=providerkey, _appname=appname);

But i get an error:
The value returned from the init function is not of type ctzprowl.

I have created a prowl account, and obv created my API Key and placed it in the code, but no luck

What i miss!??

Many thanks in advance for any help and thanks for the great script

also check out http://cfgrowl.riaforge.org/index.cfm my co-developer did this... got it to work via the mac java api to growl via your network/desktop. I use it all the time for letting me know the results of scheduled tasks/server status etc.

I'm just tied into their external API.. and that just pushes to the Iphone.. probably not with this client..
