Claudia Kosny	Wednesday 29 November 2006 12:21:15 pm Hi OOzy I have not tried it yet, but I do not see any major difficulties. You need: - either a post register trigger to start a workflow (check http://ez.no/community/contribs/workflow/personal_folder for the trigger) or use the content edit handler from Lukasz' blog http://serwatka.net/index.php/en/blog/ez_publish_3_8_new_custom_edit_handler (as this is called everytime an object is published you need to put in some check so you don't send unnecessary sms messages) - access to a sms gateway, preferably via http - money as sending sms might not be free (if you find a reliable, free of charge sms gateway please post the url here) - some code to send an sms, check e.g. this tutorial here: http://codewalkers.com/tutorials/90/1.html (not sure whether it is any good, it was just the first google result :-) Good luck Claudia
Ekkehard Dörre	Wednesday 04 April 2007 2:31:37 pm Hi, perhaps the newsletter solution is a help: http://ez.no/community/contribs/applications/ez_newsletter Sending SMS works.

Kristof Coomans	Wednesday 04 April 2007 11:04:47 pm The SMS class in the newsletter extension ( http://svn.ez.no/svn/extensions/eznewsletter/trunk/extension/eznewsletter/classes/ezsms.php ) only stores the message in a file on hard disk. Which program did you use Ekkehard to actually send them out? independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
Ekkehard Dörre	Thursday 05 April 2007 8:09:00 am Hi, I wrote a newsletter / SMS extension by my self, based on the gunnstein newsletter but with mass sent out via a propetary gateway. Later it was replaced by the new eZ newsletter extension for easier supporting und his own gateway. The old one had some custom programming, with programming from the Switzerland SMS provider, generating a XML und putting it on a server in a gateway. But the license is not clear, it is not open source, I think, and not totally from us, so sorry, I can't post it. Perhaps the new one, but Toby made this, I believe. Toby, am I right? Generally there a two kinds of providers: Via XML Gateway and via email to SMS. Each provider needs his own code, some of them have PHP examples. My provider for long years (I can't count them any more ;-) ) for example has a email2sms gateway: http://ez.no/partner/worldwide_ez_publish_partners/beasts_associated Hih (Hope it helps), ekke http://www.coolscreen.de - Over 40 years of certified eZ Publish know-how: http://www.cjw-network.com CJW Newsletter: http://projects.ez.no/cjw_newsletter - http://cjw-network.com/en/ez-publ...w-newsletter-multi-channel-marketing
Ekkehard Dörre	Thursday 05 April 2007 8:15:23 am ... more ... To give the customer the possibility to change (not from beasts, form the Switzerland Provider) I evaluated http://www.aspsms.com/ and had a talk with them at a trade show in Switzerland last year. At this time, it was possible to get a test account and here are some PHP examples: http://www.aspsms.com/examples/php/ But you have to get your own oppinion about this service.
