Location Based Services

[Tom Burton]

All,

Can anyone give or point me in the way of any information to do with 
Location Based Services? I have found a number of third parties who 
provide the service at a premium. However the current application we 
have for it is community lead, so an open source DIY solution would be 
prefered.

Thanks in advance.

Actually there's no doubt there's a problem with PPG...

PPG is a topic that comes to the list very often, and documentation 
about it is not clear enough...

I don't see also much difference between that tutorial from the IBM site 
and the Kannel docs... they both explain more or less the same things, 
and both explain a bit of the use of the test_ppg program...

But I don't want to use the test_ppg program, and I don't think most of 
us want to use it either on their systems...

I just want to know which is the way to invoke the PPG server to send 
the control and SI, and that seems to not be documented at all...

Some time ago I used the PPG server of a carrier, and I sended a POST 
request with the control part and the SI, I suppose with this it must be 
similar, but there's no place where this is described...

And the configuration of PPG is also not very clear, and the huge 
quantity of mails about this topic makes it clear it's not well 
domcumented...

There's good info on how to use sendsms, the variables you can use with 
it, some examples, and many examples also on the mailing-list, but 
almost nothing on PPG...

I haven't seen any mail on the mailing-list in the more or less 2 years 
that I'm subscribed to the list that clarifies this mistery...

Shouldn't then documentation about this topic be clarified?

I don't want anyone to send me a PHP script that does everything for me, 
I just want to know how this must be configured and done... and when all 
this is clarified I will be very glad to post here a PHP script for 
sending Wap Pushes with PPG so everyone can benefit from it.

Is there anyone who knows how this works and that is willing to explain 
a bit of this mistery?

I think it would be something very positive for the Kannel community, 
and we're going to save precious time on future questions about it, 
since it's a recurrent topic on the mailing-list, which has never been 
solved AFAIK...

Thanks in advance,

Juan

Hi Cool,

    We all use Kannel (that is why we are here), we all are working
people, and this list is a "best effort" one. Declaring a subject as
"URGENT", from my point of view, will not help you, as we all have
"urgent" matters to attend every day.

    Kannel lists (users and devel) do answer to simple questions, if
you try to answer them beforehand and you can´t get to a result. The
user guide is a good start point, maybe it´s not as simple to
understand as other guides, but try to read it more than one time.
Follow the steps needed to connect, test and test again your
configuration file. Check and double check your logs. They are a very
valuable tool to pinpoint your errors (or Kannel bugs).

    You have posted questions about PPG before, but as I see, you have
not yet even tryed to give the firsts steps in testing it. So please,
grab the guide, type some lines, crash Kannel a few times, and IF you
find you have made all you are capable of, come back to the list,
provide log excerpts, configuration files, etc. and we will be glad to
help you.

   Have a nice day.

Rodrigo.
