[PROPOSAL] Short Messaging Service(SMS) Gateway Integration

[Pritam Kute]

Hi Devs,

Many e-commerce businesses (especially operating in Asian countries)
nowadays use short messaging service (SMS) in mobile phones to notify and
update customers about order details, shipment statuses etc.

I would like to propose an SMS Gateway Integration in Ofbiz. I will share
proposed design details with you all soon. Till then, I would like to know
your thoughts on this idea.

Thanks and Regards

Thanks to all Devs.

Nicolas, you are right. I am thinking of the same kind of design which we
have for email configuration. Please give me some time to put my design
thoughts on paper. I will share that with you all as soon as possible.

Pritam,

Your proposal looks good to go with, only one point to discuss here;
Like ProductStoreEmailSetting have all the configuration
ProductStoreSmsSetting will have the settingId and all configuration goes
into the SmsTemplateSetting. This looks okay to me, no objection. Do we
have any recommendation to adopt such configuration so that not right now
but in future we may opt one type setting for both Email and SMS.

In that way we will have consistent design for both, and devs/users can
easily grab such setting for their use.

sounds awesome, and we could all benefit. +1

I propose preparing your PoC and sharing it here after you attaching
it in JIRA. I hope we can minimize the number of library dependencies
if we can.

[Nicolas Malin-2]

Hello Pritam,

Maybe I arrived after the war still I wish sharing my opinion :)

General term Sms seems to be too specific, I would've oriented on
TelecomGateway

* ProductStoreTelecomGatewaySetting (too long :))
* TelecomGatewayConfig
* TelecomGatewayConfigType, and so on

For the attributes :
* configId is too generic and already use on productConfig entity. It's
preferable to have unique name in OFBiz as primaryKey (same for settingId)
* parentSmsConfigTypeId need to rename on parentTypeId if you want to
follow EntityType pattern.

Why set the purpose (smsTypeId) on SmsTemplateSetting instead of on
ProductStoreSmsSetting where the template application will be done ?

What do you imagine behind the CustomMethod linked to SmsTemplateSetting ?

That's all I'll stop bothering you :)

Cheers,

Nicolas
