Working on SMS Framework

Hi there! We're doing some work on SMS framework, since we've chosen it as the basis for some mobile work we're doing. Ultimately, it is a good framework, and better suited for extensability than SMS gateway.

Tylor has been working on it for the past couple of weeks. One of the main things we've done is add hooks for receiving messages (a la sms gateway), so that we can do interesting things like allow processing by other modules when we receive an SMS (or MMS) message.

SMS Inline Filter

Only local images are allowed.
I'm working on a filter module that allows you to surround a chunk of text with [sms][/sms] tags. The module will highlight the text and append a "send to phone" button. The button will take users to a form where they can send the highlighted block of text in a message.

I'd appreciate any ideas or comments! Thanks!

SMS Framework Status Update

Only local images are allowed.
It's hard to believe that it's already time for mid-term reviews. The project has been coming along at a nice pace. Here's an update.

I've created a basic architecture for gateway drivers. Gateway modules can define new gateways by implentating a hook called hook_smsframework_info(). This hook was based on the node modules hook_node_info(). An implementation returns an array that contains several pieces of information about the gateway driver. Below is the hook's implementation for the Clickatell driver module.

Using Kannel as an SMS gateway

I found Kannel, an open source WAP/SMS Gateway that runs on Linux. According to their project's website, it is possible to run Kannel on a machine with a GSM mobile phone connected to it and have yourself an SMS gateway. I will definitely take a close look at this project. I'm going to try to get it running this weekend. If I can, writing a driver for this system makes a lot of sense. It will make SMS more accessible to smaller organizations.

SMS Framework - Week 1

Week one of Google SoC 2007 is already over and I'm off to a great start of my SMS Framework project. I've begun developing the gateway side of the API. I've designed it so that additional gateways can be created and install like standard modules. Gatway modules implement hook_smsframework_info(), which returns an array containing information about the gateway(s) the module enables. The information includes the gateway's name, callbacks (for validation, sending, ect.), and a form for configuration.

Initial Research Outline

After doing some initial research for the SMS Framework project, I've come up with the following outline. I'll be having a conference call with my project mentors on Tuesday. I'd like to invite the community to share their input about additional gateways to extend and functionality to implement.

SMS Framework Proposal

Summer of Code 2007: SMS Framework
William White
American University, Washington, DC

Abstract

The SMS Framework project will improve and expand the SMS technology integrated into Drupal powered applications and websites and make it easier to incorporate SMS elements into Drupal websites. To carry this project out, I will research existing SMS so-lutions for Drupal, identify shortcomings, and build a driver based API that can be ex-tended to work with common SMS service providers and integrated into Drupal core and contributed modules.

SMS Registration and Notification

Short Project Description:
Creating User SMS registration and notification based on the existing SMS Gateway module, and give some basic SMS-enabled features.

Motivation:
The SMS Gateway module is a good base for SMS integration in Drupal, but it forces the Drupal site creator to write relevant code for any feature needed.

The main idea is to create a basic set of functions and features which will give the site creator set of ready-made features.
The list of features I think that should be implemented are:
