SETTINGS AND USES

After successful installations of the SPC Component and Menu Module, point your cursor to

Menu and click Main Menu. Then, add a Menu for the Component to work. Then click save

Place your cursor to Extensions and click Module Manager, open the Login Module and setLogin Redirection Page to SPC Menu so that each time anybody login they will be redirected tosee the SPC Menu Icons. Note that users see Icon Menu from COMPOSE SMS to PERSONAL

SETTINGS but Admin sees all Icon Menu. Both Icon Menu and Menu list as displays in the SPC

Menu links to the same page.


This E-book is composed to explain how you as an administrator can optimize the use of this

component without the need to contact any other person. So we start from the Admin Setting s

ADMIN SETTINGS

This inter face should display ,Your SMS balance Total SMS units in member accounts, SMS

balance in S MS provider account.

Your SMS balance: This is the SMS balance that you have on your account as an administrator. It isdifferent from the site SMS balance.This is the only page on your site where you can see your smsbalance with your provider and this can only appear after you have added a well configured API and useit as the default API.

Note: This is what you get if your API is not well configured. SMS balance in SMS provider account:2905

Total SMS units in member accounts: This is the summation of your sms balance and that of your users. This means that if you have 1000 units in your Administrator account, user A ha s 145 units, user bhas 5835 units and user c has 5 units. The total sms units to be displayed here is6840(1000+5835+5).

SMS balance in SMS provider account: This is the total sms balance you have with the bulksms siteyou have used as your default. Remember, you have to register on a bulksms site you will like to buyfrom and use your user details to configure your API. See ADD API for details .

As the administrator o f your site, you need to set some certain actions that will be used by you

and your users. ADMIN SETTINGS: Here you can set four things here:

1. The number o f SMS Units to be freely given to each registered member and useableimmediately after first login (Minimum is 1).

2. To track down your users and show how caring you are about their Bulksms Account

with you. This component has an inbuilt alert so that sms will be sent to users uponreaching your desirable minimum numbers of SMS units. So you need to set minimumsms units a member can have before the sms is sent to them. (default is 100 units)

3. As it is known that Joomla Registration page does not have a field for phone number,you can now set whether or not your clients must enter their phone numbers before theydo anything on the site. Putting it to yes will also enable the component to automaticallysave phone numbers of your members so that you may have access to them and send smsto them by clicking the “ type recipients” drop down in the compose menu page. Youcan identify this withmembers in the p ho ne book option.

4. Setting this to yes will allow you and your members to customize name when sending

sms provided they have stored the phone numbers with names. See the MANAGEPHONEBOOK for details


NOTIFICATION MESSAGES: This is the place where you set the system messages to be sent when certain action is performed o r when certain level is reached. The content of these field s canbe customized with username, name, emails, GSM Numbers, order amount, order units using the

co de on the top o f the field. SMS sent here may be deducted from your account (AdminAccount) or from the User Account.

SMS Sender ID for system messages:This is the Sender ID that SMS will be sent with whenever any ofthe above system message is sent. Default is Bulk SMS, you may need to customize it to the name ofyour website for easy identification

Member ID for admin user (Credit will be deducted from this account for birthday and missing youmessages): This is the sms account on your site that you will like the system sms to be deducted from.

You may need to change it to your62, the default member id. See USER MANAGER at the backend fordetails. If this ID is not correct, system messages that may need t be sent from the account will not be

sent.

Email Address for system emails:When a SMS is sent, also email is also sent. Fill in the gap with thespace with the email address you would like the email to be sent with.

Append this text to all outgoing SMS:Any text you put here will be sent with all SMS sent from yoursite. It is advisable not to fill this field.


GATEWAY API: SMS Portal creator gives you the privilege to use mo re than one API, it givesyou the freedom to choose any provider at a point in time. See ADD API to Add an API to be

selected here.

Prevent Modifications to default API (IRREVERSIBLE) : It is advisable not to change this to true except

that you don’t want to change the default API in the future except that you are configuring for a resellerwhom you want to use your API alone.

Every other setting may be considered OK.

NAIRA PAYMENT GATEWAY: Do you want you want your customer s to pay you online?

Then you need to set Naira Payment Gateway. Setting this will allow your customers to pay you

with Verve or Master Card regardless of the accounts o r Banks they operates all over Nigeria.You need to register an account o n , obtain your Merchant ID and paste it on the fieldvoguepayprovided for it on the component after enabling it, selecting the button colour will help tocustomize further. Also to maximize the use of this, you need to register as a corporate entity.


Not only on your bulk sms site, you can use voguepay to receive payment on

any websites including donations, offering and tithes for churches, it can also be used to receive

payment even if you do not have an existing website.

COST AND NUMBERS: Everything here has been set as an example for you and explained, just

make sure you don’t give any space between one selling price and the other and there should no t

be any repetition.

MOBILE SETTING: Remember, this component comes with Mobile Module. This module creates an automatic mobile version o f your site and it recognizes mo bile device as soon as it isused. The only settings that needs to be explained here is that, since SPC automatically

differentiates users and administrator and assigned appropriate menu to them, you will need to

set the number of administrator(s) that can have access to administrator menu here by filling thefields with administrator id you wish to use. See USER MANAGER for details. This is necessary if you want more than one administrator to access your site using mobile devices.Obtain the user id from the backend o f your site and separate them with comma.


ADDITIONAL SETTING: SPC High Earner comes with four colours theme, default is black

(i.e. what we use for this example). Other colours are Blue, Red and Green. To change to any ofthese colours just delete the default co de and in ser t your appropriate co de that matches your

CHARACTERI CTICS OF BULKSMS API : A good API for Bulksms site must have The WebAddress of your Provider, Your user name on your provider’s website, Your password , Sender,

Recipient and Message.

If your provider is using SPC High Earner or SMS Portal Creator Version 1 or 2, you may not

ask for the API as all the above version component comes with similar API language and canwork on one another.See the sample for SPC High Earner Version 3:

http://localhost/sample/components/com_spc/smsapi.php?username=xxx&password=yyy&sender= qqq&recipient=www&message=test

See the sample for SPC High Earner Version 3:

http://nameofwebsite/components/com_smsreseller/smsapi.php?username=xxx etc

You need to replace the above API as follow Localhost=wwwSample= the name of your provider website e.g. www.cliqsms.com

username= The username on your Provider’s Websitepassword= The Password to the username

sender= @@sender@@recipient= @@recipient@@

one you are having on your provider’s site, it means there is a problem in the configurationsettings. Usually, the error balance is 2901

your provider to get delivery report. When you obtain it, click PERSONAL SETTINGS on your

Now, let’s face the reality;

Not all sites have the facilities listed above, some don’t even have the capabilities to use most of

the said facilities, this can be because they are not using the updated SPC Version or t heir

component have been have been intentionally set not to function properly, whatever the case

may be, there is a way out but before I discuss this, let me go by the archive to illustrate

specifically what the problem you might be facing is. • If your site does not present the SMS Menu Icon as shown on page 9 when you

logged in, this means that your site has not been upgraded to Version 3 and some

of the Menu Items will not be there. You may need to contact us to upgrade your

component while your database is not tampered with. This means that all your

members still login and have access to all their information including Message

History, Phone Book Managers and so on

• If your site cannot use more than one API i.e. you can only send SMS with the

site of the person who designed your website. Then the only solution is that you

contact him and tell him to enable the component to use more than his API

otherwise, create another Bulk SMS site. We can d o this for you within 5 days for

just N25000 • If you want some o f the important modules like GSM Number Generator, Mo bile

theme, SPC Menu Creator etc. Then, contact us.

• If you want your Bulk SMS site to be a mini Social Networking site whereby users will be able to interact, chat and make friends, then contact us

• If you want cheap website for your business or church and want it to be ready

within 5 days, then contact us
