[solved] PlaySMS not deducting user credit after SMS successfully delievered

playSMS Help
1

Hello all,

Thanks for the good work on PlaySMS.

I successfully deployed and configured PlaySMS. All seems fine except that when I send an SMS user credit doesnt get deducted even when the message is successfully delivered. I also notice d that admin credit doesnt get updated when I add credit to a user.

Below is a sample log from PlaySMS log file. It shows that all went well.

Hi,

You have to activate the sms rate. It can be made on main configuration option, Default SMS rate and set any value Ex: 10.
it will dedut 10 on your credit per each massege you send

@mateus

I tried that, but account balance not decreased when i send sms -seems i have same issue as OP

thanks for suggestion tho

Hello,
Please, tell what gateway do you use ?
Thanks.

5

@astra_Jj we are using Kannel.

6

Please paste playsmsd check here

Anton

8

no, run: playsmsd check

anton

will do and will revert a bit later today
thank you

the result should be similar to this:

PLAYSMSD_CONF = /etc/playsmsd.conf
PLAYSMS_PATH = /var/www/html/playsms
PLAYSMS_LIB = /var/lib/playsms
PLAYSMS_BIN = /usr/local/bin
PLAYSMS_LOG = /var/log/playsms
DAEMON_SLEEP = 1
ERROR_REPORTING = E_ALL ^ (E_NOTICE | E_WARNING)
IS_RUNNING = 1
PIDS schedule = 28351
PIDS ratesmsd = 28353
PIDS dlrssmsd = 28355
PIDS recvsmsd = 28357
PIDS sendsmsd = 28359

These are daemon scripts that need to be active all time:

PIDS schedule = 28351
PIDS ratesmsd = 28353
PIDS dlrssmsd = 28355
PIDS recvsmsd = 28357
PIDS sendsmsd = 28359

credits and balance are updated by ratesmsd

also run playsmsd version, it should be 1.4.2 the latest

Hello Anton,

PlaySMS is working great and SMS are sent, but in All sent messages the messages are pending.
This is probably the reason why Credit deduct doesn’t work. All PIDS are running and PlaySMS version is 1.4.2. with SMS server tools 3.

See log below;

After sending a SMS the credits do not deduct.
The SMS rate is also set;
Destination: NL
Prefix: 31
Rate: 1.000

What goes wrong, Please help…

Thank you,

Mark

I had the same problem with kannel. The issue was kannel was not forwarding the dlr back to PlaySMS, so the system never new the message was delivered. If PlaySMS doesn’t get updated with delivery information, it doesn’t deduct credit. For the me actual problem was the url at for my PlaySMS . I was using https instead of http . Kannel from the repos doesn’t support https . You must compile it from source with this option. Hope this helps someone

Hi Mymanga,

Thank you for your input.

If have used http and https but not with kannel. I am using SMS Server Tool 3 and an url as set in kannel is not an option. The default url in PaySMS is correct.

I hope someone knows the solution…

Thanks

I have Solved the problem by changing the fn.php file at /plugin/feature/simplebilling.

function simplebilling_hook_billing_post($smslog_id, $rate, $count, $charge) {
$ok = false;
_log(“saving smslog_id:” . $smslog_id . " rate:" . $rate . " count:" . $count . " charge:" . $charge, 2, “simplebilling_hook_billing_post”);
$db_query = “INSERT INTO " . DB_PREF . “_tblBilling (post_datetime,smslog_id,rate,count,charge,status) VALUES (’” . core_get_datetime() . “’,’$smslog_id’,’$rate’,’$count’,’$charge’,‘1’)”;
if ($id = @dba_insert_id($db_query)) {
_log(“saved smslog_id:” . $smslog_id . " id:” . $id, 2, “simplebilling_hook_billing_post”);
$ok = true;
}
return $ok;
}

Change the “status” value from ‘0’ to '1’
Maybe not the best way, but it works…

Unfortunately the “sent messages” are still having status “Pending”, but simplebilling is working fine now…
