  • So, I was bored last sunday and I wrote this little script. It has no advanced features, you will just receive a sms alert saying who sent you the PM. In future versions, I plan to add more cool features.

    Download the zip file from here : #-Link-Snipped-#

    or for geeks : #-Link-Snipped-#

    Open up config.py file and fill up the details. You also need an account on fullonsms.com Example config file would be :

    forumLink = 'https://www.crazyengineers.com'
myForumUserName = 'avii'
myForumPassword = 'iamsocool'
myFullOnSMSUserName = '9845098450'
myFullOnSMSPassword = 'iamsocool'
myMobileNo = '9845098450'
    Save it. And run the sendMeSMSonPM.py with Python (version 2.7). That's all !

    Set up a cron job in *nix like machines so that you don't have to run the script again and again. And use Windows Task Scheduler if you are in Windows 7 or higher. More better instructions are forum-sms-notifier/README.md at master · avinassh/forum-sms-notifier · GitHub The script just checks for unread PMs and sends you the sms.

    Its an open source project, hop in if you find this exciting!

    Future plans :
    • Lil conversation description in the SMS.
    • Errors and exceptions handling.
    • Ability to add more than one forum.
    • To support various types of forum softwares (vBulletin and myBB next!).
    • Fallback if one sms provider fails.
    • Better way of specifying frequency to check for new private message.
    • Persistance. So that you don't keep on getting alerts for unread messages.
    • Add better read me and instructions.

    Have any doubts ? Shoot!

    Are you using some API or scraping content through remote login?
