That's a very interesting question.

The short answer is YES it's possible to do something like this. It is possible to include a javascript <script> ... </script> as part (or all) of your success message, and therefore can call some sort of Growl-like notification script. However, it's unlikely that you can use the Dynamic Action plug-in directly.

You'll probably need to include a jQuery based JavaScript of your own and then call that JavaScript from the <SCRIPT> that you include in your process success message.

(see : http://webtoolkit4.me/2009/08/13/jquery-growl-likenotification-systems/ for a list of options)

You'll probably also want to alter the CSS for the theme so that the CSS class that is used to display the success message doesn't use a colored background.

Sounds like an interesting science project....

Hope this helps.

Yes, that would work too. You'd basically need to set the value in the hidden field based on the outcome of the process, but yup, that would work.

Hi Dirk,

Watch my post it describes another way how you can use custom notification messages: Alternative to g_print_success_message like g_print_notification_message

thanks, Rene

I've heard of "armchair filosophy". "Armchair programming" is new to me but it sounds promising.
