sms integrator

Will built his first Drupal website in 2005. Since then he has built many more and has become the lead developer for the SMS Framework in Drupal. The framework, which began as a Google Summer of Code project in 2006, has grown into a powerful system that allows users to send and receive text messages from their Drupal sites and sync with third party tools like gnokii. Will also builds custom videos players and Facebook apps with Development Seed.

SMS Framework 1.0 released + 1.1 Roadmap on Drupal Groups
Drupal and SMS Integration, Ready To Go
Jul 10, 2008
by Will White

The 1.0 release of the SMS Framework is now available for download from Drupal.org. The project has come a long way since it’s initial development release last summer and is now ready for use. Numerous fixes and functionality improvements have turned the SMS Framework into a robust tool for integrating SMS and Drupal.

This release introduces a rewritten SMS user module, which allows your users to provide and confirm their mobile information. Thanks to Tylor from Raincity Studios an SMS receive module and a gateway module for Mobile Muse are included in version 1.0. Expect to see more gateway modules with receiving support in future releases.

We’re already looking ahead to work on version 1.1, which will focus on improving international support, expanding documentation, and upgrading to Drupal 6. Please review and edit the latest roadmap on the wiki and submit feature requests to the project’s issue tracker.

Roadmap for 1.1

  • Improve international support
  • Standardized phone number format
  • Drupal 6 release
  • Write more API documentation
  • Improve the SMS Blast module
  • Ability to make double opt in optional
  • More gateway modules that support receiving
  • Improve sms_receive module
  • Remove behavior mapping

I go into more details on these points here.

Hi,

This looks fantastic!

It's my understanding that an SMS gateway is required for sending/receiving SMS. What can you tell us about the "gateway module for Mobile Muse"? Is it a subscription service that anyone can sign up for?

Thanks
Ryan

Ryan,
There is a good wiki page on supported gateways over in the SMS group on g.d.o: http://groups.drupal.org/node/12555

Will has done some cool work with Gnokii that will make the blog something next week too.

Hope that helps.
