Defined in:
lib/merb/sms_controller.rb

Overview

The SMS controller lets you send text messages seamlessly from within merb to get started add a dependency to your new merb application then do:

$ rake signupto:setup

This then generates a configuration file where you must fill it in with your signup.to account details. These are global configurations for the applications.

Next, generate a new sms controller like so:

$ script/generate signupto_controller Demo my_method some_thing another

In the above command, “Demo” is the name of the class, and the others are actions within our controller. Once you have your newly created class, you can call the sms methods from your main controllers.

def index

send_sms(ExampleMessenger, :some_method, { :from => '02UK', :to => '4445265485' })

end

send_sms(KlassYouWantToCall, :method_on_class, {})

paramater 3 is an options hash, of which valid options are: :to => “recipeitns phone number” (string, -) :from => ‘from’ that will appear on recipient mobile (string, 12)
