I installed this mod yesterday on a forum that I am starting. I tried to send a message to my Sprint phone and I didn't receive that message until today lol. With the new version, it took well over an hour before I received the message. Not this mods fault though, because I tested sending a message to my phone through email and it took just as long. Make sure your users select the messaging.sprintpcs.com option & are very patient :erm:.

Also, I think the phrase you are looking for is $vbphrase[smsmembersubject].

All that says is: From {1} to {2}

I want to get rid of the first from message: FRM: yourboard.com - board descritpion". It isn't needed because right after that is another "From: User at yourboard.com - board description".

Really needs to be an easy way to edit those out.

The first "FRM" you're describing is the headers the cell phone company receives from your server for the email. The second one is the subject of the message. There's no way to change the first one except for manually specifying headers somehow, but I didn't provide that because most cell companies ignore the headers and provide a "From" address of either a random number, or your hosting account's base email.

In your case, either remove the smsmembersubject phrase, or deal with it for that carrier as there's nothing that can be done except trying to manually set headers and see if that does anything. But like I said, not all carriers are going to display that way so it's probably a bad idea to get rid of the phrase.

where to enter the details, the number or address u cant find it, so i went and checked each template, the memberinfo one is slightly different fro what is caled for, as seen here

<if condition="$show[\'sms\']"><li class="vbmenu_option"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/sendtofriend.gif" alt="" class="alt2 inlineimg" /> <a href="sendmessage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=mailmember&amp;type=sms&amp;u=$prepared[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$prepared[username]">$vbphrase[send_message_via_sms_to_x]</phrase></a></li></if>

cyr qgwb u oyr rgus ubm u get the attached warning msg, also theres no image for the sms as also attached

also when u go to edit the sms settings, theres no text boxes to enter anything, it says its confirmed but i have never even entered a number

thanks

So how do we change the subject included in the SMS with this new upgrade ?

[robwoelich]

I guess I shouldn't waste so much time on the readme if nobody reads it, huh...
