The send to phone feature appears to not be working on D 7.37

Checked permissions and they are set properly (logged in as admin). Also set the proper content type at admin/smsframework/sendtophone

Can you describe the problem more specifically with steps to reproduce the bug and error messages, if any.

Sure thing:

  1. Enable Send to Phone module
  2. Edit permissions to allow administrator ability to administer smsframework (http://d.pr/i/jV5N)
  3. Go to admin/smsframework/sendtophone and check the content type (http://d.pr/i/4dgf). Save configuration.
  4. Add Content > Article (/node/add/article)
  5. No option to "Send to phones" is displayed.

On viewing the content item: No "Send to Phone" option is there either.

Am I missing something here? For my use case, I'm trying to send an SMS alert to all users when the "Send to Phone" option is checked.

The module lacks documentation so I'm unable to determine how this functions.

There is another permission the user needs to have - the 'send to any number' permission defined by Send to Phone module.

The module lacks documentation so I'm unable to determine how this functions.

That's a good point. Help is needed in that regard.

What this functionality does is to allow you to send a link to the article via SMS. It's a clickable hyperlink and not a checkbox. This is not likely your use case. But I don't clearly understand your usecase:

  1. I'm guessing you want to send an SMS when something specific happens (not clear what) - if that is the case take a look at Actions and SMS Actions module.
  2. You want to send the actual content of the article to the user when they click "Send to Phone" - use the SMS sendtophone text filter or field type.
  3. ...

Appreciate the replies. The use case is to allow our content admins to check a box when they are creating new content.

When they check that box, it would send the node title to subscribers via SMS.

You can go ahead and close this one out as I misunderstood the actual usage for this module. The SMS Actions doesn't appear to have anything I can use to effect this. Only way I've seen it done is feeding the user IDs via VBO to a rule that sends the SMS alerts.

I'm sure you can achieve that with a combination of Fields, Rules module and the Send SMS built in action which has Rules integration.

Marked issue as fixed. Feel free to re-open if further help is needed.
