Hi, with using NowSMS as a MMSCMC is it possible to present a notification page to a customer when they download their MMS. For example, a terms and conditions WAP page where the customer needs to click a button to confirm that they accept prior to downloading. | |||

Hi Michael, I don't know of any way to do that within an MMS. The MMS client is logically independent of the WAP browser, so it can't invoke the WAP browser to display a WAP page. And the markup language for MMS ... a stripped down basic SMIL ... doesn't allow for user input like you would need to have for a terms and conditions page. The only idea that I have would be using Multimedia WAP Push ... and modifying the template so that the first page of the template has a "T&C Display", with a link at the bottom of that page for advancing to the next card in the deck which has the actual content. My WML is a bit rusty ... but as I recall, it would work like this. The link on the first page (card), would use an href like this: <a href="#nextpage"/> And then you include an "id=" parameter on the second card, like this: <card id="nextpage" title="Your Title"> The "#nextpage" link jumps to a card with an id of "nextpage". So you could modify the NowSMS Multimedia WAP Push template to include an intro card for T&C acceptance like this. Now I just have to find a link to a posting out here which describes how to modify the Multimedia WAP Push templates, since I believe the only place this capability is documented is in a posting out here. Here's an old thread that discusses the feature as it was being added by a request out here: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/3315.html And here's a more concise explanation of how it works: http://support.nowsms.com/discus/messages/485/5911.html -bn | |||
