Server needs Over The Air (OTA) config settings. #12

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
This is a very awesome project, let me say that first.

But there are two things that it needs to flourish:

1. A Web Interface
2. OTA configuration for devices

Please provide any additional information below.

1. Web UI - It took me half an hour to finally get everything set up in
such a way that I could see that the error.log had "input is empty" as the
issue. I just kept tweaking and refreshing, expecting to see something. As
it stands now, I'm still unsure how to put data into the DB so that the
server will sync it up. But I'm sure I'll figure it out. But a web UI as
nice as your home page would be really helpful. Even having the error log
output to screen would be nice.

2. OTA - I may be in a small minority, but the whole reason I've been
researching and looking for a SyncML server exactly like this one is to
offer the pitiful few (such as myself) the option of syncing their
dumb-phones to the calendar database. Most users have either iphones (no
SyncML and none needed), or Android (same deal, mostly), or Blackberrys. I
have a Nokia 5310 which requires the syncML server (such as OVI) to send
the syncML profile to the device (also, see GooSync).

Not only is this a VERY huge setback in my ability to follow the simple
steps on testing your server (and actually, finally, having a solution to
my own problem), it's also inconvenient for the very small margin of users
who own SyncML-only devices who CAN actually set theirs up manually. It
would be lifesaving for me,and so much easier for everyone if they could
simply click a "Sync Calendar with SyncML" button on the calendar site and
enter their phone number and be done.

Again, great work! I hope the last gap finally gets filled to make my work
calendar finally work for me.

Hi crazytonyi,
after some research of OTA/OMA I found that is not directly rely on the SyncML 
server - to send the SMS with 
these settings.
If you build some platform and using Mooha as a part of it - then your platform 
must be able to provide such 
a service, but not the Mooha itself.
Sending of OTA messages requires an SMS-gateway, mostly this is non-free 
service, so your platform should 
care of your users but not me and my small open-source project.

As for web-interface - Mooha can be used with any PHP-based CMS like Drupal, so 
if you need an interface 
it's a good task for the developers of that CMS.
When it become more popular there will be contributors for such a development.
