Are there images you cant use with CFIMAGE ?
 
I am having an issue with a jog image and it just wont save.  The image
loads ok, resizes but when i try to write it out to the file system again it
just errors saying the file doesnt exists.  Well derr.. of course not, i am

[cfaussie] CF SMS Gateway

2008-10-22 Thread Claude Raiola


Hi,

I have created a facility within my CF application to have messages sent to maintenance staff via sms, the sms containing the details of a maintenance request.

When the maintenance request is logged into the system the details of the request are added to the sql database table and given a job pending status

I have been asked whether its possible to have the receiver of the sms reply to the maintenance request received once the job is complete sending a sms containing the words "Done" and then have that data communicated back to the cf application so the cf application can then change the status of the specific job from pending to done.

Any thoughts on the possibility of being able to develop the functionality as mentioned above would be appreciated.

[cfaussie] Re: CF SMS Gateway

2008-10-22 Thread Mike Kear

The short answer is 'yes'.

The longer answer is 'yes' if you have a inbound SMS account - you'll
need to send your outgoing sms from the right number, so when the guy
at the other end hits 'reply' it goes to the right number.

If you want to give me a call we can talk a bit about what you'll need.

 Steve, I'm entirely not sure of what features you're after but I'd
 like to throw up the suggestion of something I came across a couple of
 years ago: SourceForge Enterprise

 the version I've seen was actually a VMWare appliance (linux O/S as
 well) you load up on your servers. It's more than an issue tracker,
 it's a document repository where you can attach docs to any part of
 the software process: diagrams, spec's, emails linked to the actual
 source. you could go from initial email from the CEO to functional
 spec's to source code, all linked together.

 not sure about the reporting, nor progress/timeline tracking (GANTT charts)

 from memory it was free for a team of less than 15 ppl. Sourceforge
 made it's money by upselling to larger teams where it cost thousands.
 I don't know where the licensing sits now a days

Claude,

Yes it can be done.

A lot of effort to do this I assume you are using a post
methodology not smpp to send your sms's.

Certainly easier to send out a post sms on a change of status in your
admin app, rather than mucking around with event gateways unless you
are used to this.

Hi Chris,

This is my first attempt and using SMS functionality, I have it sorted
sending the information (maintenance request) entered into a cfform to the
nominated mobile as an sms

It’s the enhancement to that basic solution where they can reply to the sms
with a key word in the sms eg Done in order to have the Done command in the
reply sms activate CF code to update the status of the number maintenance
request in the database from Pending to Done

[cfaussie] Re: CF SMS Gateway

2008-10-22 Thread Steve Onnis

Claude

Basically what happens is who ever you are using as your sms provider should
be able to provide you with a mobile number that you can reply to.  When
someone sends a message to that number, they trigger a http request to a
file on your server containing the message contents of the sms which is then
used to process the message.

What you are wanting to do can only be done like this.  You need your sms
provider to assign you a mobile number for people to reply to.  This number
would then be the number you use as your from number when sending out
messages.

Keep in mind  that when you reply to an sms, the message starts off empty so
they would need to reply with the job code and the response like...

JOOB1234 DONE

When you get the response back you can then get the details from the sms
message and update your system accordingly.  You can't just have DONE in
the message because obviously one person can have more than one job so you
need to be able to know which job they are responding to.

Just to clarify, YOU need to get your sms provider to assign you a response
number for your people to send messages back to.

If your SMS provider does not support this, let me know as our sms service
does support it and we can set you up on our sms gateway.

[cfaussie] Re: CF SMS Gateway

2008-10-22 Thread Mike Kear

Exactly how you do it depends on how your provider sends you the
message.I have one provider that sends messages to me by email,
and another by an xml packet.   Then there's SMPP.   Typically they
tell you how they're going to send it, or give you an option of 1 or 2
methods.  Thats why I needed to talk to you.

Basically you do a deal with a provider, e.g. Optus, Telstra (if
you're a thrillseeker - i dont do any business with Telstra) or any of
a whole host of others in Australia or overseas.  (Technically you can
use an overseas provider - they're just as fast delivering the
messages but the people sending SMS's to you will have to dial an
overseas number.  So overseas providers are ok for outgoing messages
but you really need a local provider for inbound.)   They give you a
number that people can send messages to.  That's the number you have
to put on your outgoing message as the from number.  Then they hit
'reply' and send a message which comes to you though that number,   in
whatever format the provider sends.

You have a listener on your website listening to that number, rather
like the way you have a web server listening for http requests from
browsers.   It receives the message and you can process it anyway you
want.  It can trigger other actions,  add stuff to you database,  send
emails,   send out more smss,  whatever you like.

The tricky bit is the listener - thats the bit where you have some
learning to do.   Everything else about this application is no
different to you've been doing on you web sites up to now.

 Thanks Mike for your offer of the chat which when I get some free brain

 In the mean time could you provide some of what I need to consider in point

 form and or links to references that elaborate on the functionality I am

 seeking to provide.

[cfaussie] Re: CF SMS Gateway

2008-10-22 Thread Simon Haddon
Hi,

My company develops a system to keep travellers aware of their flight
details and other associated information. The communication is 2 way. from
server to mobile and visa versa.  we also have developed an email to sms
gateway on top of the main messaging system. We hav euse Mobile365 and are
now using Street Data as they are alot cheaper.  The actual sending and
receiving is done via a GET url request and is encapsulated so that changing
service providers isn't too much of a pain.

Having said that. Every service provider has their own quircks and these are
not always documented which makes programming interesting.  Things like
unicode, message length, message length for multi part messages, etc.

It is certainly possible. The main thign about your situation is making sure
that anyone replying to your system sends some soft of identifier to ensure
that the right job is closed off.  Also, you want to put transparent
security in place as other people migh try and hack through your SMS system.
One thign we do is not allow a SMS to be received unless it it in receipt to
a sent SMS or a registered user.  There are oter things that can also be
done.

I hope that helps a bit.

Cheers,
Simon

 Hi,

 I have created a facility within my CF application to have messages sent to
 maintenance staff via sms, the sms containing the details of a maintenance
 request.

 When the maintenance request is logged into the system the details of the
 request are added to the sql database table and given a job pending status

 I have been asked whether its possible to have the receiver of the sms
 reply to the maintenance request received once the job is complete sending a
 sms containing the words Done and then have that data communicated back to
 the cf application so the cf application can then change the status of the
 specific job from pending to done.

 Any thoughts on the possibility of being able to develop the functionality
 as mentioned above would be appreciated.

  Are there images you cant use with CFIMAGE ?

 I am having an issue with a jog image and it just wont save.  The image
 loads ok, resizes but when i try to write it out to the file system again it
 just errors saying the file doesnt exists.  Well derr.. of course not, i am
 trying to write it.  Its like the original image is there and then cf
 deleted it in prep to write it out again but fails.

 It is just on a specific image.  Am happy to send the image to some people
 to test it..
