Has anyone already done an SMS script, I performed a search but could only find requests, I just wondered as it would save me some work?

I've been up all night with an existing SMS class and have it working (sending SMS's successfully) from a vBulletin template but I've never documented or posted a hack here before so any advice would be appreciated.

Where can I find details on vBulletin variables to pass to the script?

Maybe a mod could shift this post to "Help Me Finish" if that's considered more appropriate - thanks...

What kind of vBulletin variables do you need?

The username (as I'll include this to the end of the SMS (or maybe the userID) to prevent SMS spam abuse.

I'd also want to create three custom fields (hidden from public view) in the user cp profile which I'd need to pass to the SMS class:

1) The mobile number of the user.
2) The username on the chosen SMS portal (for example Genie - now O2).
3) The password on the chosen portal. I could also do with having the password encrypted in the database if this is possible.

$bbuserinfo[userid] = user ID; $bbuserinfo[username] = username; $bbuserinfo[field#] = field number #.

Setup the custom profile fields from the Admin CP, note the profile field ID and use it as # in the example above.

Firefly, thank you for that.

That's fairly straight forward. What about making the password field encrypted?

What kind of encryption do you want to use?

HeadStAtE! · #7 07-03-2002, 07:56 AM

Is it possible to encrypt it in the same manner as the existing forum password (I'm assuming that's fairly well encrypted). My concern is that the same username/password combination used on some of the SMS portals are the same one the users would enter for their billing so must be protected.

Please bear in mind with any reply that I'm a PHP n00b, although I have a sound programming knowledge of other languages so have some sense.

Also is it not possible to refer to the custom field by name?

I can add custom fields in the admin CP.

But what is the ID, obviously I give each field a name, it has a display order too, and also a seperate ID which I can only find if I view the table via phpmyadmin?

When I refer to a field for example $bbuserinfo[10] I get one of the existing default fields like user title, or yahoo and such like.

You need to use $bbuserinfo[field10]. And you canu use PHP's md5() for the hashing.
