Introduction

The best plugin for receiving SMS notifications for sites created by the ClassiPress.

If you have an ad site created by the ClassiPress, be sure about selecting this plugin because on the ad sites the owners of the advertisement should be always notified promptly about the latest changes of their advertisements and these notifications are usually done via Email and we know that all users of your site do not use their emails continually, but they have their mobile phone with themselves at any moment. So obviously, it is necessary to use this plugin.
In addition, as a site admin, in emergency situations that you do not even have an access to your email, you should also be able to be informed about the most important events, such as the ads under review, violation reports or transactions that require your approval. In fact, it will have the role of monitoring for the admin.

In this plugin, we have tried to cover most of the events that need to be informed via SMS, but we will explain the features of this plugin in the following:

Add Mobile field to profile:

By enabling this option on the "Edit profile page" in the front-end section, after the About Me Field, a new mobile number field is added to allow the user to enter their mobile number to receive SMS or verify their mobile number.

If the "User verification via SMS" option is enabled and the user changes the number in this way, he should re-verify it.

By enabling this option, admin can refer to the "Edit user page" via wp-admin/users.php and send him the message quickly as ajax.

Repetitive Mobile Number:

By default, users can not register a mobile number registered by another user. But if you enable this option, they can also enter a duplicate number.

Country Code:

In general, users enter their mobile number either internationally (with the country code, such as +19123456789) or locally (like 09123456789); if they enter it locally, when sending SMS, this country code will turn mobile automatically into an international format because some SMS gateways are only compatible with the international format. (This country code will be added before mobile number if the entered mobile number is not in International format.)

If you have defined a custom field on your ads for a mobile phone, you can enter the corresponding meta-key in this field so that the SMS related to the ad section be sent to the number registered for each ad and not to the number registered in the user's profile.

Main Tab >> User verification via SMS


The main surprising feature of this plugin is that the users can be verified via SMS. Maybe like lots of the famous ad sites, you desire that only the users whose mobile numbers have been verified can post advertise on your site to be tracked if necessary. This feature is also a feature that has been added to improve the security of your site.
By this feature a mobile number field will be added to the site's registration form and users will be required to enter their correct mobile number when they sign up. After signing up, a random verification code is sent to that mobile number. In the first login to the site, they have to enter this code correctly so that their mobile number is verified and they can login. Also, you may think that what about the old users who have signed up without mobile number verification? We answer that they will also be automatically logged out if their mobile number is not verified and a SMS containing the verification code will be sent to them that must be entered when they log in for the first time. However, this feature will be determined by you that only new users need to be verified and or old users also need to be verified.

enabling this option adds mobile number field in registration form too. ( In 2 ways, the mobile number field will be added to the registration form; when you enable "After confirmed Registration" or "User verification via SMS". )

Users to verification:

You can choose which user must be verified. (All users or only new users)

Admin can change or verify their number in the users profile page.


Messages Tab


In this tab, you can customize the text of all messages by the short codes.
The text of the admin's and user's messages can be seen separately.


Gateways Tab

In this tab, select the desired gateway first and wait a few seconds to refresh the page. Then enter parameters of the gateway and click the "Save Changes" button. Now you will see a new button called "Test Gateway information" by which you can test the desired gateway.

In fact, by this section, you can send a SMS with a test text to a number to see the output response. If the output response is successful, your web service information is correct; otherwise, an error text is displayed that you must fix it, otherwise no SMS will be sent.


Uninstall Tab


By this tab you can also remove the plugin completely and delete all the data. However, if you want to disable the plugin temporarily, do it by the wp-admin/plugins menu, or disable the "Enable plugin" option by the Main Tab.

Developer Guide to add new SMS Gateway

if you want to add your custom sms gateway and if you know PHP, go to pluign folder ("classipress-sms-notification-pro/includes/gateway") :

  • 1. Copy an existing gateway. we suggest "clickatell.php" because it has very simple code.
  • 2. After paste, rename it to your custom name. like: mygateway.php (only lowercase letters).
  • 3. Edit it via a text editor. rename ClassName to "CP_SMS_MYGATEWAY" (uppercase of your php file name).
  • 4. Edit the $name in the first function.

now your new gateway will be added in plugin gateways tab.
then you must edit "process" function.
if your gateway doesnt support sms credit or balance, "public static function credit()" must return false.
in "public static function options()" you can define your fields that want to be appear in gateway settings.
