[solved] Playsms 1.3.1: group-name transmitted to queue, instead of receiver number(s)

playSMS Help

Hi guys,

I hope that someone can help me out there.
I’m using playsms 1.3.1. with a smstools3 connection.
When I want to send a SMS via the playsms web interface and type in the receiver number directly, then everything is fine, the SMS is sent.

But when I want to send a mail to a whole user group (defined in my phonebook), playsms transmits the name of the user-group to the queue, so it looks like it does not “decode” the group-name (which is “FF_ALLE”) and not send a extra SMS for every user within the group.

Example:
192.168.1.122 2016-02-24 22:02:53 PID56ce288c72804 C.Perhab ip:192.168.1.112 app:main inc:core_sendsms op:sendsms_yes X-CSRF-Token:179fc1f06e0894cede83bd015acb88b8 footerlen:10 maxchar:153 maxchar_unicode:67 hiddcount:459 hiddcount_unicode:201 chars:chars SMS:SMS return_url: p_num_text:#FF_ALLE message:This is a test-message. txtcount:33 chars : 1 SMS sms_sender:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sms_footer:Footer sms_schedule:

← As you can see, the p_num_text contains the name of the user-group, this seems not to be okay. For my understanding the gateway can not handle this information. As I said, if i use directly a phone number in the “send to” field, everything is fine.

Does anyone have an idea was could be the problem there?

Thanks in advance, Chris

i use the same combination and it is working fine for me. the only idea i have: are that all internal users? maybe playsms identifies the recipient number and uses the user’s rule to forward the message only to inbox, but i am not sure.

It looks like I solved the problem… This happened when I restarted the smsd-gateway service without restarting the playsms service afterwards - so it was only handling error.
Unfortunately neither playsms-logs nor smsd-logs indicated this problem.

Thanks for your support anyway!
