Hooray! It works :-)

Thank you all for your help and especially to Bjoern for this very appreciated programm!

Some feature requests:
1) Check for leading + in phone numbers.
2) Check for phone is online or not and go temporarily online if not.

Thanks again,
nexus

Oh, okay, i thought it worked with 0somthing or +something, so I have to revise my regexp check to only allow number with +something

Code:
re.match('^(\+[1-9][0-9]+)|(0[0-9]+)', num)
Needs to be changed to
Code:
re.match('^(\+[1-9][0-9]+)', num)

I'll put that on my TODO list. Thanks for the hint.

Mhh, do you have some programing skills? If yes, it should be no problem for you to adapt the "Vodafone - NL" class in www2sms_providers.py

Don't get disturbed by the "o2online - germany" provider class, I was a bit over ambitious and implemented all the features on their website (okay... scheduling is not yet working) :D

But well... the providers are modular, so how a provider is interfaced does not matter to my program, it just relies on some variables passed back from the provider class.

Thank you very much for the link! I appreciate it very much! If I, with my average python/QT skills, can help out let me know.

Unfortunately we are. The basic idea is the same and I also use the o2 Germany's site because there is no programming interface.
But www2sms is more stable I think :)

Oh, then I misread your program description. I thought you were using some sort of public available API which is available for a bunch of services.

Sure about that?

But while we are on it.
Why not merge our efforts? I guess we both could make larger steps forward when we work together instead of figuring out different ways to address web scraping. And one stable, well supported app is better then two unstable apps.

I am open for changes. How about you?

Cheers

Let me know if I can help you.

By the way, version 1.0.1 should be in the DEVEL overlay in a few minutes.

[2010-05-18 18:36:43] www2sms 1.0.1 has been queued for loading into fremantle extras-devel repository
I'll attach the tar here as well.

CHANGELOG 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1:
Quote:
www2sms (1.0.1) stable; urgency=low
* Stripped down the loaded QT modules to a bare minimum
* Fixed bug where the send Button was enabled without having an account
* Fixed regex check for o2online DE
* Added python-evolution to the dependencies
* Fixed crash for contacts without name, familyname or alias
* Known Bugs: Planing SMS does not work (o2online.de only) -> Disabled
* Known Bugs: Special characters (like Umlaute) vanish in the send SMS
Cheers

I'm not trying to put a downer on this, but has anyone considered whether this kind of screen-scraping app is compatible with the various providers terms and conditions for their websites? They may prefer people going via their websites so they can show you adverts etc., and may not take kindly to this kind of app.

I only mention it because sometimes when sites find out about screen scraping they try and block it by user agent, or by obfuscating their HTML code, etc., which obviously is a hassle to work around.

Well, I didn't read the Terms in detail, but I could find a passage that permits it clearly. But in fact, you are right.

We will see.

Hey, first attempts to insert the SMS into conversations are WORKING!

So I guess the next version will be with SMS insertion into conversation :-)

Just wanted to let you knwo :cool:
