[solved] growl

Hi All

I am having some trouble modifying a growl script. I have searched the net and this forum as we ll as many others and have come up with nothing so far.

so far the growl works as standard, click a link with the correct properties and a growl window pops up. This is all set up and working nicely. What I have so far is this:

I have set up an event calendar, beneath it is a list of all events for today and tomorrow with a clickable link that opens a growl containing the info for that particular event. This works fine. I am using the mootools 1.11 for compatibility with my other code that is not on v1.2 yet.

what I would like to do:
I would like to have the growl set to execute when the page loads if there are events for the day then repeat every 30 minutes until the event time/day has passed. if no events, no execution (this will be dealt with on the php side) my problem is, how do i get this function to execute on page load instead of listening for a click?

The growl is from here - http://icebeat.bitacoras.com/mootools/growl/
the function i have is thus

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

    <?php
    echo "<ul>\n";
    $today = date("Y-m-d");
    $sql = "SELECT num, heading, body, DATE_FORMAT(date, '%Y-%m-%d') AS eventdate, DATE_FORMAT(date, '%H:%i') AS eventtime FROM ex_events WHERE DATE_FORMAT(date, '%Y-%m-%d') = '$today' ORDER BY num";
    $result = mysql_query($sql) or die('nope, not working');
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
    $eventdate = $row["eventdate"];
    $eventtime = $row["eventtime"];
    $event_title = $row["heading"];
    $event_body = $row["body"];
    $event_number = $row["num"];
    echo "<li><a id=\"smoke$event_number\" title=\"Appointment Notification\" href=\"#\">$event_title</a></li>\n";
    ?>
    <script type=text/javascript charset=utf-8>
    $('smoke<?php echo "$event_number" ?>').onclick = function() {
    Growl.Smoke({
    title: '<?php echo "$event_title @ $eventtime"; ?>',
    text:  '<?php echo "<p>$event_body</p>"; ?>',
    image: 'images/growl.jpg',
    duration: 10
    });
    return false;
    };
    </script>
    <?php
    }
    echo "\n</ul>\n\n";
    ?>

as you can see it is listening for an onclick event and i need to change this. I am new to JS and mootools so please bear with me. any and all help appreciated

TIA
Mark

Hi all

I have managed to get the page load script working with this:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

<script type=text/javascript charset=utf-8>
    window.addEvent('load', function () {
    $('smoke<?php echo "$event_number" ?>'){
    Growl.Smoke({
    title: '<?php echo "$event_title @ $eventtime"; ?>',
    text:  '<a href="javascript&#058;navigate('','','<?php echo $eventdate ?>')">Read More</a>',
    image: 'images/growl.jpg',
    duration: 10
    });
    return false;
    };
    });
    </script>

works just as I want it to. I still need to work on the periodical update of the div in question. I will post that once I have worked it out.

any pointers would be great

this has now been solved

below is the code i used to get the growl to show up every 15 minutes for 20 seconds

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

<script type=text/javascript charset=utf-8>
    var NotiFy<?php echo "$event_number" ?> = function(){
    $('smoke<?php echo "$event_number" ?>');{
    Growl.Smoke({
    title: '<?php echo "$event_title @ $eventtime"; ?>',
    text:  '<a href="javascript&#058;navigate('','','<?php echo $eventdate ?>')">Read More</a>',
    image: 'images/growl.jpg',
    duration: 20
    });
    return false;
    };
    };
    </script>
    
    <script type="text/javascript">
    window.addEvent('domready', function() {
    var periodicalFunctionVar = NotiFy<?php echo "$event_number" ?>.periodical(900000);
    });
    </script>
