playSMS version 0.9.7.2 has been released (SECURITY FIX)

Posted by on 2012/11/23 1 comment

This version contains only a fix to a security bug in inc/app/webservices.php. Users installing playSMS 0.9.7 or 0.9.7.1 are encouraged to upgrade their installation as soon as possible. playSMS version prior to 0.9.7 are not affected.

A quick workaround to fix the bug is by removing inc/app/webservices.php immediately. See this for detail.

You may get playSMS 0.9.7.2 from our download page.

SMS server using CentOS, Kannel and playSMS

Posted by on 2012/10/21 7 comments

I found this documentation straight forward, easy to follow: http://www.visibilityspots.com/sms-server/

I haven’t actually test it, but I think it should work with recent playSMS, except when you use playSMS 0.9.7.1 you need to also copy sendsmsd* from contrib along with playsmsd*.

playSMS version 0.9.7.1 has been released

Posted by on 2012/09/05 7 comments

2 Days ago we have just released playSMS version 0.9.7 (lots of changes since 0.9.6, you should read). But since I found something serious, I thought it won’t matter if I just release another one. Next time I will provide a patch instead of releasing whole new version when changes are not much, even when they’re important.

Security bug has been fixed in this release. The bug allows a non-admin user to upload a CSV file with username field filled with other user’s username and playSMS allows the process to continue.

This release is a security release. It is highly recommended for users to download and use this version immediately.

Download playSMS version 0.9.7.1 now.

playSMS version 0.9.7 has been released

Posted by on 2012/09/04 2 comments

After 2 beta versions, finally tonight playSMS version 0.9.7 is released.

There are many bug fixes, updates and major changes included in this version. Therefore it is highly recommended for users to upgrade their playSMS. Please note that the upgrade only available from version 0.9.6, so you need to upgrade your old playSMS to at least version 0.9.6 first before upgrade it to 0.9.7.

Highlights in this version are as follow:

  • All SMS submitted from web UI, webservices or plugins are queued in database first and then processed by external daemon application. I believe this improvement will solve issues related to bulk SMS sending, like sending an SMS to 5000 contacts from web at one time.
  • Raw incoming SMS text now can be accessed by plugins, as it is brought to hooks from function setsmsincomingaction. This function is the central function, the gate to playSMS, in receiving SMS.
  • Issues related to quote or single quote, or addslahes() and stripslashes() have been fixed. playSMS also now assumed that PHP magic_quotes_gpc option is set to Off, which is recommended.
  • Using smstools3 is as good as using Kannel, playSMS now able to get the status report of Delivered when using gateway module smstools. playSMS also make copies of raw smstools3 files for other external application or simply for later readings, like for debugging.
  • Kannel gateway module equipped with a simple text editor to edit kannel.conf, and a restart button for Kannel. This makes certain admin jobs easier.
  • Character counter in web UI and also in simplerate has been fixed. This counter took care of unicode or not, multi-part SMS or single SMS correctly.
  • Easier coding for scripts used with playSMS plugin SMS command and SMS custom. playSMS will capture the response of a script executed by SMS command or a URL accessed by SMS custom, and then directly send the response as reply to original sender.

You may download the release from the download page: http://www.playsms/download. Read more »

playSMS + Kannel + CentOS 6 final + Huawei E220 unlocked

Posted by on 2012/04/07 2 comments

Halo,

Sedang browsing2 nemu link ini. Tulisannya cukup jelas dan isinya sepertinya benar (tapi saya belum mencobanya).

URL tutorial: http://kasrut.blogspot.com/2011/07/install-playsms-and-kannel-on-centos-6.html

Sedikit aja di-edit pada bagian instalasi playSMS nya:

wget http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/project/playsms/playsms/Version%200.9.5.2/playsms-0.9.5.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf playsms-0.9.5.2.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src/
cd /usr/local/src/playsms-0.9.5.2/web
mkdir -p /opt/lampp/htdocs/playsms
mkdir -p /var/spool/playsms
mkdir -p /var/log/playsms
cp -rR * /opt/lampp/htdocs/playsms/
/opt/lampp/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p create playsms
/opt/lampp/bin/mysql -u root -p playsms < /usr/local/src/playsms-9.5.2/db/playsms.sql
cd bin/
cp playsmsd playsmsd_start playsmsd.php /usr/local/bin
cp playsms /etc/default/

Sebagai catatan, tutorial ini juga bisa dijadikan acuan untuk instalasi playSMS versi selanjutnya pada platform yang sama dan mungkin dengan modem2 lainnya selain Huawei E220.

Semoga tidak salah paste URL, dan ini adalah URL dari penulis aslinya (maklum tutorial playSMS banyak artikel dan URL isinya bisa sama alias copas2an).

Enjoy!
