Kannel forwards SMS messages to playSMS using what is called an 'sms-service':
when it receives a message, it connects to
''plugin/gateway/kannel/geturl.php'', sending the message, the sender and the
receiver via HTTP GET.

When I send a unicode message, though, playSMS gets it wrong:

I tried to send the message isso é um teste, um dois três, açaí, using skype's SMS capabilities (that's why the sender is my skype login).

The URL kannel accessed was:

``http://imotiro.org/playsms/index.php?app=call&cat=gateway&plugin=kannel&access=geturl&t=2013-07-31+15:34:24&q=lucasrfl&a=%00i%00s%00s%00o%00+%00%E9%00+%00u%00m%00+%00t%00e%00s%00t%00e%00%2C%00+%00u%00m%00+%00d%00o%00i%00s%00+%00t%00r%00%EA%00s%00%2C%00+%00a%00%E7%00a%00%ED&Q=%2B552188888888`

The parameter "a", the message contents, is what matters here:

%00i%00s%00s%00o%00+%00%E9%00+%00u%00m%00+%00t%00e%00s%00t%00e%00%2C%00+%00u%00m%00+%00d%00o%00i%00s%00+%00t%00r%00%EA%00s%00%2C%00+%00a%00%E7%00a%00%ED

In the logs, the message appears as:

isso um teste, um dois trs, aa

While in the "all received SMSs" screen, it appears as:

isso

In the feature SMS_Subscribe in the fn.php file, I had to correct a grammatical error on the message of already subscribed members from "You already a member" to "A custom message".

Would it be possible to add a input field on the Manage Subscribe menu that would allow for a custom message for each Subscribe group?

nothing shown on phonebook even though the data is exists on database table

There is a race condition between sendsms() or sendsms_bc() that pushing SMS into a queue and sendsmsd() that read the queue resulting in queue processed partially.

For example user sending 10k SMS in one go and sendsmsd() only process about 200 of them. But then sendsmsd() will flag=1 the queue, which means the queue will not be read in next sendsmsd iteration.

What we want is if in one time sendsmsd read the queue it will check whether or not all queue members have been processed.

report plugin will contain:

• detail of how many messages were sent daily, monthly and annually
• detail of how many inbox messages were received daily, monthly and annually
• detail of how many feature messages were received daily, monthly and annually
• admin views everyone and each account views their own

From Faizan Mirza:

Hello, I am using kannel with playsms on local system with GSM Devices connected. SMS going and coming to admin panel. I have uploaded also playsms to my hosting with uplink gateway. Messages going but how to get messages in inbox to make hosted playsms as two way sms system? I have low bandwidth so cant use local playsms for worldwide access. Please tell me what are possibilities and what sms sync help us..

Basically a way to make uplink gateway become two-way instead of one way like now.

In tools/phonebook currently one contact can be assigned to one group. If the same contact belongs to different groups I need to configure this contact as often as groups are assigned.
It would be better to be able to assign more than one group to this contact.

Hi ,
Im new in this wiki.I have installed playsms under Ubuntu 10.4 following step by step the installation prcedue on playsms.org.
now im facing this issue:when i try localhost/playsms i get this message:DB Error :connect failed.

please would you help me?

regargs!

It would be nice to be able to send a message to a subscribe group from the user interface. If this feature is possible then maybe it would be possible to use the autosend feature and be able to also send to a subscribe group.

no need to have the group with matched group code first to successfully import from file

Add scripts and make some changes so that at least playSMS can work normally in MS Windows with one gateway, Gammu

Hi,

Can you please add a datetime to user-send-sms form ?

Is it possible to add option to dynamically set sender using webservices?

I have a phonebook with 24,000 numbers. And when i use bulk sms the task is marked as done with only 3212, so i have to go to phpmyadmin and change the flag of the task to 0 to keep doing the task. How i can fix it?

if the message is too long, only the first part is send out for Unicode. In standard no problem when splitting the text. Before it was working fine for Unicode.
Tested in 0.9.8

As It would be nice to have some alternative instruction words for the SMS Subscribe, like:
"subscribe", "start" for "Reg" and "Stop" for the "Unreg"
e.g. due to legal requirements (as in http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/playsms-devel/message/1812) or at least standards / best practices in different countries.

Even better would be if this was configurable in some way.

Hello,

Is it possible we setup 2 way sms service but replies should come without any @username. and it detect uid or sender id of sender and receiver. For example if A and B is sending SMS to C, if C replied to A message it goes to A and if C replied to B message it goes to B and if C direct send message without replying it goes to nobody account only main admin account.

When I click the button it returns nothing to me I click create group to add to the group number and does nothing, and in the mysql database that the prefx also ok registered in this file config.php normal.
can someone help me please?

Poll keyword not adding.
Poll Format changed and not clear.
9.7 polling config was clear.

Minor issue
In Quiz only uppercase answers are allowed is this the standard intended format or a bug?

I want to use nexmo gateway and polling which will be the quicker fix?. .add nexmo to 9.7 or fix polling in 9.8.? Thanks..

Dear brother now i'm using play sms latest version in my web page but i got a problame in your script i need that when my user send an sms they want to type sender ID in send sms page but in your script that is not possible. so please help me & modify your script its urgent i need it very quick

I really like this project and it will help us a lot, but I'm really confuse how gnokii and playsms will work together considering gnokii only use database with 3 tables which are inbox, outbox and multipartinbox while playsms have a lot. Do I need to change table structure for these 2 to work? Hope you can help me. Thanks a lot.

Hello,

Good job guys,
I need billing module, i think that is the must missing and important feature

Please accepte my request

best regards,

According to the website, playSMS version 0.9.7.2 was released on 2012/11/23.

But no tag for it was created: https://github.com/antonraharja/playSMS/tags

I deploy playSMS by always checking out the latest tag from the repository, so the code is easily updated and always on a stable version.

I don't know exactly what is Anton's workflow for tagging a new version, but if it is as simple as creating the tag on the right commit and making a pull request, I can do it myself.

Thanks!

Currently the error codes related with authentication are:

ERR 100 : authentication failed
ERR 101 : type of action not valid
ERR 102 : one or more field empty
ERR 103 : not enough credit for this operation
ERR 104 : webservice token is not available

I'd add
ERR 105: webservice not enable for this user
ERR 106: webservice not allowed from this ip

The page in wiki -> https://github.com/antonraharja/playSMS/wiki/Translate has older content than the one in the docs-> https://github.com/antonraharja/playSMS/blob/master/web/docs/TRANSLATE

It should be replaced with the one from the docs, because with the current scripts the translation is easier and cleaner.

I should start working with this issue. Combine Send SMS and Send broadcast SMS.

before the 0.98 and 0.9.7, we didn t have to click all the time for Unicode when we send sms. It ll be good to define a default, because if a user use unicode he ll problably use it daily or never

Passing the password in cleartext in the url is dangerous because it can be easily retrieved unless you are using https.
A simple and neat workaround for this would be to create a new field in the playsms_tblUser with a webapp token, it could be a random string and could be called using h (for hash)
So for example instead of:

• http://x.com/index.php?app=webservices&ta=bc&u=admin&p=rahasia&to=TI&msg=meeting+at+15.00+today!

You would have something like this:

• http://x.com/index.php?app=webservices&ta=bc&u=admin&h=e1faffb3e614e6c2fba74296962386b7&to=TI&msg=meeting+at+15.00+today!

On a second stage, the p parameter could be discouraged/deprecated.
What do you think of it? I could implement it if you like.

Problem detected in the import of the sql script (Table users).
Best Regards

a request for read inbox (edit: read incoming SMS) with webservices returns all inboxes.
Ex:index.php?app=webservices&u=ananda&h=ae35017b3df942df6debbf6b8ee7addf&ta=in&kwd=

PS. keywords its not working.

1. User A have set sender ID 0987654321
2. Gateway have been set to receive SMS on number 0987654321 and set receiver number in playSMS (Kannel can do this, or Nexmo, and probably other service)
3. Cellphone user send SMS to playSMS, to number 0987654321
4. playSMS will receive SMS from cellphone user and route
5. Since the SMS goes to 0987654321, playSMS will receive from gateway with receiver 0987654321
6. Upon receiving such SMS, where receiver == sender, playSMS will route the SMS to user A inbox (who have set sender ID 0987654321, match receiver number)

Meaning:
User A can set sender ID and if replies goes to sender ID then replies will be routed to User A's inbox

Phonebook should display group names only, and then user can click the group name to get full list of contacts with pages if more than certain row

Asterisk has a very neat setup to send SMS using chan_dongle. something like ( asterisk -rx 'dongle sms ) can send a sms message. Asterisk manager can be used also. What would it take to create a custom gateway that can access a bash,php,python,perl script which can use asterisk as a gateway.

A feature to have a custom gateway using webservices would work to access asterisk manager also but I cannot see an option to use Webservices as a gateway. I need the "send from file" feature and a custom gateway feature to connect to asterisk.

Answers are containing a single quote, for example: You're correct!

So it looks like this has something to do with single quote issue.

SMS quiz not working:

It will really be nice to add the option of activating multiple gateways. Sending will use a gateway regarding some conditions (like number prefix).

At least for the smstools gateway, the Flash SMS functionality is broken:
In web/plugin/gateway/smstools/fn.php:
function smstools_hook_sendsms($sms_sender,$sms_footer,$sms_to,$sms_msg,$uid='',$gpid=0,$smslog_id=0,$sms_type='text',$unicode=0)
but the code is
if ($msg_type=="flash") {
should be
if ($sms_type=="flash") {

Most likely, it's the same for more or less all gateways.

See also http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/playsms-devel/message/1737

Someone should start working in search boxes, search engines, searching methods in playSMS. Whether its for SMS lists, contacts, or queues.

SMS subscribe messages not being recognized:

We are now implementing the communication to playsms via webservice and we find out that there is at least a missing error code in our case, because we need at least a error code when there's no credit. So this would be my proposal to extend the current api + docs:

Code changes to reflect new errors:

ERR 103: not enough credit for this operation

And in the documentation I would change the docs so the people creating interfaces were aware that new error codes might appear in the future:

ERR 1xx: authentication or parameter erorrs
ERR 2xx: specific pv errors
ERR 3xx: specific bc errors
ERR 4xx: delivery status errors

What do you think of it?

As stated in subject, need to add webservices method for external apps to do register, forgotpasssword and changepassword

I would like to set a new parameter (i.e local_length) that is the number length without the local code.
For example, in spain the mobile numbers are 9 digits (such as 612456789), in case that a number of 9 digits is detected, playsms would add the prefix automatically (34 taken from replace_zero ).
This wouldn't have any effect on the addition or deletion of the + prefix.

So it's basically

if lenght($number > $local_length )
       $number=$replace_zero.$number

What are your thoughts about this?

Hello,

I installed today a more recent version of playsms. Now, when I call the page:

/my-host/sms/web,

I receive a screen for login but no have link for create a new user.

What error did I do?

If you can send me a contact with Lucas Teixeira, (to: edmar@edmarrp,org), I prefer, because I'm brazilian and have more facilities with portuguese, of course.

Thanks.

with user admin I can see all sent sms. But when I delete a user, I don't see anymore sent sms from this user.
would be fine, if those SMS would be shown with user "deleted" or with the former uid.

I have been using it for a few versions now, and haven’t had any problems with the upgrades till now. I noticed that the sms_command execution files were no longer in /var/www/html/playsms/bin but in /var/lib/playsms/sms_command/1/ so I copied over my executables to this new location. When I execute the script from the command line, it works perfectly. However, I can’t get it to execute from playsms. What i mean, is that playsms shows that the keyword sms was “handled” but the script itself is not executed. in the log file, /var/log/playsms/playsms.log I don’t see any mention of the sms_command keyword when it receives the sms.

In the web interface it is showing the path as /var/lib/playsms/sms_command/1/ but when i changed the log level to 3 (for debug) i found that it was looking for the file in /var/lib/playsms/sms_command and not in the final 1 directory.
could that 1 be a typo that needs to be removed? i’ve copied my files in the sms_command directory and its now working.
