SMS Framework

SMS Framework is project for Drupal that began as a part of Google Summer of Code 2007. The modules inside the framework add powerful SMS integration to your Drupal site. An API is provided for building more features. See the project page on Drupal.org for more information.

This group is used to shared ideas about the project. We want to focus on these three questions:

  • What core or contributed modules would benifit from the integration of SMS functionality?
  • Which SMS gateway vendors should be supported by the framework?
  • What are some specific use cases for the framework?

SMS-Framework as a school alert system

I believe a great use for this module module would be a SMS alert system for a school or hospital. I run a few dozen drupal school and church websites and I would love to have a SMS application that would send out a SMS message to alert website subscribers to a school closing or a school lockdown.

Has this been done? Or can someone point me to where I need to go? Or does someone have the ability to do this and want to make some xtra $?

SMS Email Gateway bad address syntax?

I'm trying to use the E-mail Gateway module included in the SMS Framework. When I confirm my phone number, it works. But when I set my user's Messaging and Notifications default send method to SMS, the notifications don't work.

It looks like it's trying to send messages to <5555555555@>. The returned mail says "bad syntax". I think it's supposed to be sending to 5555555555@txt.att.net.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Require sms confirmation to create account

When users add their mobile phone number, a confirmation code is sent out. Is there any way to disable the user's account completely until they have entered this confirmation code? Or perhaps to move them to a new role when they have confirmed their mobile phone number? I want to only allow users from the UK to create accounts, and requiring them to enter a UK phone number seems a good way of achieving that.

Perhaps you have some other suggestions on how this might be achieved?

SMS Framework 2.x

After starting a patch for providing an extended new hook system in v2 (http://drupal.org/node/442748), I corresponded with Will to start efficient planing of the 2.x branch by introducing some main goals for development. You are welcome to join the discussion and leave proposals.

SMS Framework will be stated "on heavy development" so should not be used on production sites at the moment.

This list might grow in the next days, so feel free to propose new points or comment on existing ones.

potential drupal user registration by SMS

from the discussion at http://groups.drupal.org/node/19195 schock is working on a project on http://vozmob.net we could have a potential module that will enable registration of users by text messages (SMS). This will enhance the drupal's mobile integration. the module code is found at http://github.com/mfb/vozmob/blob/3cd2e645e63192e174a7710bdeb3000c26b44e...

Possible use with Emergency Services Dispatch system & mapping integration?

Hi all,

I'm hoping maybe this idea exists as preconfigured components/modules somewhere?

I'm a member of a fire company (www.station31.org) and I just setup Drupal 6 for us, and converted some of our content from a Dreamweaver site.

When there is a 911 emergency in our town, our local Emergency Services Dispatch office sends out a notification/page on our audio pagers, summarizing the emergency and the location. All firefighters carry these pagers so they know when to respond.

Create a sms recipients list

Hi everybody, what I would like to have is the possibility to send sms to people without having to ask them to register to my site to receive my sms.
So I thought to this: create a flexible content type that alter the standard node form adding a phone field to it.
In this way you can create a very selective sms-blast-like module.
Think about having numbers stored in nodes instead of user profile. This would give the possibility to create groups, restrict access and send sms only to desired people.
Since now I've fiugred out a custom module that hold some of these features.

User to user SMS communication. Does this exist?

I have a been using Drupal for a bit now but I do not have the ability to really code PHP and get into the inner workings of Drupal. I mostly have ideas for websites and try to use Drupal to develop the idea.

I would really like to find someone that can make this happen or maybe help combine modules to get me there.

Basically I have a site that needs to work like this:

User 1 posts an item for sale
User 2 lands on item node and decides to buy item
User 2 clicks button and an SMS is sent to User 1 telling him that User 2 wants to buy their listed item

New SMS goodies -- user creation and an incoming email gateway

i've had a couple modules running on some client sites (5.x)

here's what they do:

  • handle incoming SMS messages via an email gateway
  • create new drupal users (or log them in if they are already created) via an incoming SMS message

after some initial conversations with Will, we've decided that both of these features would do well to live in the SMS framework.

this is a brief post to simply let folks know that the work is now kicking off, and you can track the progress at the following issues:

Customised SMS results service | SA Rally

Employment type: 
Contract
Telecommute: 
Allowed

Hi there. I'm looking for someone to develop a system whereby users can be sent customised automated SMS messages with motor racing results (specifically rallying).

The site I have setup is running Drupal 6.10, and I'm happy to install any other modules required. I'd like to keep custom code to a minimum so if all this module does is tie 6 others together to achieve the desired functionality, so be it.

Anyone who is interested can get more details by contacting me - www.sarally.com.au/contact

Checking duplicate unconfirmed number

Right now, one cannot enter a mobile number if it has already been registered on the site, even if the existing mobile number is unconfirmed. This doesn't really make sense, as anyone can input anyone else's mobile number and prevent the real owner from using their own numbers.

Isn't it better to check only against CONFIRMED numbers?

New gateway and slight mod for sms.module

Hi all,

I have just finished a gateway module for Txtlocal (http://www.txtlocal.com), and would like it make it available for inclusion in the SMS Framework package. The module was written for 6.x and supports inbound and outbound messaging with all of txtlocal's extended options (specify sender, delayed send, message reference, WAP PUSH).

I had to make a slight mod to sms.module because the receiver MSISDN is important for my project. I have written it to the phpdoc header in the gateway module, but here it is:

The Future of SMS Framework BoF at Drupalcon DC

Start: 
2009-03-05 13:45 - 14:45 America/New_York
Organizers: 

We are interested in getting together to chat about the roadmap of the SMS Framework and providing services via SMS.

The MIT Mobile Experience Lab created a similar, but different, actions system for the SMS Framework at the same time that Development Seed was working on theirs. We think there may be room for merging the two paths to build a versatile, usable SMS service system for Drupal.

Brian McMurray (bmcmurray) and Steve Pomeroy (xxvelcrar) from the Mobile Experience Lab will be around in room 156. Look for Steve with his Linux beret and long hair.

Adding sms mobile form to another page

Hi,

I am looking to add user/uid/mobile to my node profile page.

How do I accomplish this?

Since sms_user_register() is a function that already does the heavy lifting, how do I place the form where I want?

I thought I could do something like this in a block. I am not sure how to use hook_form_alter to add this to the form with the id below.

if ($form_id == "edit-profile-personal-node-form") {
return sms_user_register();
}

Thanks for your help!
Chris
