I could proly make a version for permissions 2 but you won't be able to use the admin node

 

Its ok I just have to switch from IZone to WG Regions and fix FlatEarth and another plugins which I seem to have forgotten the name of...

 

@Codisimus
I cant get this thing to work for the life of me. i tried the 2 different gmail ports like you said. none work. port 25 was the only one that that even gave an error and its the same error as ssddttaa had on the last page... :/

 

where do you host?

 

you mean what hosting service do i use? if so its my home ^_^

 

maybe check to see if your ports are open

 

that could help
so what, would i do? just forward to port 25? or completely open it or what

 

it's just an idea I'm not sure if it would be closed for some reason

 

hmm well if it didnt open would email even work in general?

ok well thre is this thing called port triggering. it sais,

Trigger opening of ports for incoming data.

so im guessing i should add port 25 to that maybe?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

SMTP is for outgoing data

 

hmm well idk I just rlly want to get this working >.<

 

Still having epic difficulties adding Emails. (Fixed the Errors with 3.x BTW)

It got oddly quiet . As I stated above Texting works splendidly with 3.x but when I try with email it keeps spamming enable message.

I was just wondering, I am with Koodo Mobile, Its a Canadian Company started by Telus.
Being a subsidiary of Telus, Would that mean this mod would work for me, despite Koodo not being on the "supported" list?

Im not 100% sure on how the relationship between the 2 company's works, and figure with the work you have done on this app if anyone will know the answer to a question of this nature it would be you.
thanks.

P.S. Love the concept of this mod, Hope I will be able to use it.
I am currently the only person running my server (small population), having this kind of power to remotely access/communicate/troubleshoot issues will give my small server the kind of quick acting, always there support people love about large servers.

 

It will work as long as you provider has email to phone support (Koodo does). Ill look up the number for it

Koodo = #@msg.koodomobile.com

I've got this pretty much working on bukkit #860 and by setting my e-mail address. It's vital that when you reply back with "enable" the same e-mail address is used in the From header as the one that was sent to.

It would actually be preferable if this wasn't the case (could the plugin not set a mail header like x-verification-code with a cookie, and just look for that rather than care what e-mail address the reply comes from?)

For example, some people might want to set [email protected] but this is actually forwarded to [email protected] so when they replay with "enable" it comes from [email protected] and the plugin doesn't accept it at the moment.

Permissions seem to be broken for me unfortunately. I use essentials group manager which emulates permissions 2.7.2 and this seems to work with all the other 67 plugins I use. Right now I'm overriding permissions and only ops can use the text thing which is a shame.

I also couldn't get Orange UK texting working, although I'm not clear if I should be adding numbers as 07870 or 447870 or 7870 or +447870. I don't even know that Orange UK is supported?

Keep up the good work, it's still useful for me as it is right now alerting me via e-mail (I use my own e-mail to SMS gateway that then texts me anyway) when people log on and off etc. and for allowing at least ops to text/email each other.

hi!
Good Work.. but i need more.
Carriers
Vodafone - PT (Portugal)
TMN - PT (Portugal)
Optimus - PT (Portugal)
.... Tks!

 

Did you update to the newest version? i fixed email support...

Thanks for finding this, big help.
@trollsama
I'll add this in the next version but if you don't want to wait add it to the email.properties yourself

How would the plugin know which account to link [email protected] to?

I can offer you a version that supports permission 2 but you won't be able to use the textplayer.admin node

Orange is supported but I am unable to test any of these, you should add a 10 digit number (111-222-3333 or 1112223333)

I will add as many of these as I can

 

Please, could you do; NetCom (from norway?) Please!

 

tks

 

To anyone having problems setting this up, getting errors etc...

 

Thanks

EDIT: I added "Koodo=<number>@msg.koodomobile.com" to the sms.gateways list, But it still tells me "Network Koodo not supported"

that is the right format correct?
(FIX: apparently It does not work when i put it in the format the rest are in, but agnowledges it is there when i use the "Koodo=#@" format.)

 

Well, I was thinking, when it sends the request to be enabled it could store a random string in a file (a cookie). This random string could be embedded in the message or maybe even the mail headers. Then it doesn't matter who replies to it, as long as they include the original random string the system can verify. This is how most e-mail verification systems works.

Yes I'd be interested in the permissions 2 version please, I don't think I mind about textplayer.admin node as I will allow only certain groups to be able to text at all.

Thank you.

 

This may also help A little in the future. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways

EDIT: This also http://www.mutube.com/projects/open-email-to-sms/gateway-list/

 

I have both of those (plus two others) bookmarked but they still don't list all of them

 

Getting this when attempting to reply to the enable email (From my email).

I am not touching the Gmail account TextPlayer is linked to (Using v0.6.1).

 

from a gmail account?

 

Yes

[email protected] <-- That email

I tried enable 'enable' "enable" /enable !enable None worked :/. I then tried /text limit 0 in-game now I can recieve emails from IG to Email but not from Email to IG (Sending a message back to server that says only say Hello? )

CheckMailInterval=0 BTW

@MiracleM4n
try this, https://sites.google.com/site/codys...testplugins/TextPlayer.jar?attredirects=0&d=1 and if that still doesn't work check your save file to make sure there isn't an empty line at the bottom (or just delete it)

 

Sends this back to me for every command

Unknown console command. Type "help" for help.

Also when I use /text Whatever Whatever it sends the sending and sent messages twice to player.
