I just downloaded this application and uploaded it to my forum however I am having some issues with the uploading.

In my Admin CP, I am able to load the XML file where it now shows up in my Manage Products section and I am able to see the settings in my Vbulletin Options.

That being said, when I go to "Usergroups" to enable the permissions, there is nothing about the Text Messaging program. So I can't "turn-on" the feature for my forum.

Any idea why this may be?

Thanks in advance.

Can you please assist me? I have done everything like you said and every time I try to receive the text, it never comes through. I have AT&T and I put my number in, but the text never shows up.

Edit the "User CP Text Messaging Options" plugin, and at the very bottom where it says:

... change mail( <stuff> ) to vbmail( <stuff> ). That should fix it for you. :)

Make sure you uploaded the bitfield XML to /includes/xml/ before you import the product, as that's what adds the "on/off" options to the usergroup permissions. If you don't upload it before you import the product, the bitfields don't get rebuilt properly to add the options.

If you're getting the confirmation PIN but not the texts, I can't think of a reason you wouldn't be getting other texts. The process for sending the PIN and sending everything else isn't significantly different. I'd verify:

1. You've uninstalled and deleted all uploaded files related to texting, and used the current ZIP file to re-upload all files and then import the product;
2. You've uploaded everything where it goes before importing the product;
3. You've turned on all options in the Admin CP > vBulletin Options > Text Messaging Options;
4. You've enabled texting for your usergroup(s) in Admin CP > Usergroups > Edit Usergroups (options are usually near the bottom of each usergroup's configuration page);
5. You've turned on texting in your User CP > Edit Options;

I'll try to look through the code some more before the next update (which should be in the next day or two) to try to figure out what could be causing texts to not send despite all of that being configured correctly, but like I mentioned before, I've fully tested the product on my development forums at this point and everything was functioning as it should, so nothing should be different based on carrier unless AT&T requires you to enable some special feature through your plan to receive these texts... but once again, if you're getting the PIN text, that shouldn't be the case.

I dont understand what this does that I can already do now. I get SMS messages for new posts, threads, PMs to my cell phone using the regular vBulletin email notification.

nnn-nnn-nnnn@vtext.com (for Verizon)

All of the other carriers do the same thing.

Or am I missing something here?

The difference is that this is an easy way to mass-integrate that functionality for all of your users in an easy to setup format, without interfering with regular email notifications - and sending text-friendly messages (<160 characters) only on events that are really relevant to a text based notification. :)

I have ATT and I installed it and it works great. Thanks Rob for a great app!.

This is sexy THANKS.

Wow this is amazing stuff I have it working on at&t with my VB 4.02 CMS!

Have user to pay when they have T-Mobile and use this system?

Well I think this has real potential but as a European it has absolutely no networks whatsoever for any of my users... I did join your forum and have a good search through the networks... but not one.
I'll tag this mod and see if Europe (tiny as we are) gets a look.

Just like to add that I was looking to buy this mod and I think it's worth the money if I had European carriers.

Thanks a lot. This is a great add on.

+1 or in the paid version are there any australia providers but Vodafone

Would be great if you can add indian companies

So basically all this mod does is send your members a text message informing them they received a new PM on your forum?

Uninstalled, followed directions step for step and no permissions under usergroups. Seems coder needs to rewrite the step by step installation instructions because they didnt work. Thanks anyway.

nice mod, will tag this and might install it later on :)

can this Mod use a free gateway like http://for-ever.us/ to send SMS?

Looking forward to a 3.8 version!

Can you please make a mod where you can send free SMS to any of those networks which support it. I am sure it won't require a lot of modifications.

Thanks:D

I get a 404 on the mod website

I think this will not work in India !!!!

Can you do version for Voderfone, Orange, O2, Tesco, etc :)

Does full version support all countries networks?

Does any of your Future version have chances of World Wide mobile handlers ? like FB

When the italian version for TIN, Vodafone, Wind and 3? :D

Sorry if this has been covered. I just have a couple questions regarding the paid version..

#1 - How much is it?..I could not find a price on your site..

#2 - Is this mod compatible with a UK site meaning does it cover cell phones in the UK market and the European markets??

Seems like a cool idea and I know a couple of my clients sites would love this if it will work with the phones they have.. otherwise it would be useless..

Thanks though---awesome idea...

Thanks, works perfectly, but only for my U.S. users
You did a great job, but would be better if they were European companies such as Vodafone, Movistar, Orange

But again great job

EDIT: The pay version is European companies?

If so please tell me where to pay

can u make it for 3.8 ?

Announcement on there website.He is no longer contiunuing on the project as he is commited to other projects and busy in real life...so he will no longer be upgarding the sms or his popup plugin.

Althoe upsetting he is not continuing,i understand...and would like to thank rob for his hard work on thease projects and wish him the best of luck in future.

I am sure he will update this thread when he dose make them free

Waiting on this...

hello, can you please update it for Indian users and vb 4.1
or I want to contact you if you would only like to do it on my forum for some reason like it be a paid plugin for my forum.

Thankyou

im searching for the list of countries his site covers - wish people would stop being cheap and complain about a premium product shows how everyone wants something for nothing.

Any chance this can be made to work is South-Africa??

We have 3 mobile network service providers here.

I am currently running 4.1.1

thanks in advance for feedback

Not receiving the code in the UK

So I installed this but all the text message says is that I've received a text message, no message text at all.

Is this because of the lite version?

If so, the description is misleading.....

What version are you using?

Looks like the developer/author of this plugin/mod is no more selling the pro version.. :(

This is not working and has that many bugs initially it was rendered dead from its inception
