Hello...

I am trying to configure nowSMS v2007.06.27 to send and receive mails from/to SMS. I have a SMPP connection to my SMSC.

The problem I face is with the format of the text displayed on the phone when it comes from Email. Here is one example:

Mail type: text
source: abc@mail.com
subject: "hello"
text: "this is a test"

WHAT THE PHONE DISPLAYS IS: "abc /hello /this is a test"

As I seen in other system it should show something like this: "abc@mail.com (hello) this is a test"


debug shown in MMSDEBUG.LOG

Hi Diego,

There is currently very little customisation available for how e-mail messages are converted to SMS ... either the "From /Subject /Text" format, or there is an INI file option to only send the text of the message for more specialised configurations (EMailSMSTextOnly=Yes under [MMSC] in MMSC.INI).

On further review though, it sure doesn't make sense that we don't allow a template for some easy customisation. So we've made a simple change, as described below:


quote:

* SMS to E-mail - Add template setting to allow some minor changes to the standard SMS to e-mail format (From /Subject /Message Text) used by NowSMS. To change the SMS to e-mail format, edit MMSC.INI, and add an SMSEMailTemplate= setting to define a template for the SMS to e-mail format. The following replacement variables are supported in the template: @@FromAddress@@ (e-mail address of sender), @@FromName@@ (full name of sender), @@Subject@@ (subject of message), @@Text@@ (text of message). The default template is SMSEMailTemplate=@@FromAddress@@ /@@Subject@@ /@@Text@@




The update patch for NowSMS 2007 that adds this setting can be downloaded from http://www.nowsms.com/download/20070723.zip.

To accomplish the format that you want, you'd add the following the [MMSC] section of MMSC.INI:

SMSEMailTemplate=@@FromAddress@@ (@@Subject@@) @@Text@@
