In particular, the "Ushahidi Platform v3.x" section contains information that is often misleading. Many details about this version of Platform have changed since.

  1. To start configuring data providers, first copy this file from application/config/data-provider.php to application/config/environments/development/data-provider.php

  2. Edit application/config/environments/development/data-provider.php and enable the providers you need. Here's an example config to enable SMSSync and email providers.

    Code Block
    titleapplication/config/environments/development/data-provider.php
    <?php defined('SYSPATH') OR die('No direct script access.');

return array(
    'default_providers' => array(
        Message_Type::SMS => 'smssync', // If you're using a different provider you should change this default provider for sending SMS.
        Message_Type::EMAIL => 'email',
    ),
    'providers' => array(
        'smssync' => TRUE,
        'email' => TRUE,
    ),
    'smssync' => array(
        'from' => '12345', // This should be the mobile number we send from
        'secret' => '1234' // Put this secret key in the SMSSync settings on your phone
    ),
    'email' => array(
        'from' => 'test@gmail.com',
        'from_name' => 'tester',

        'incoming_type' => 'pop3',
        'incoming_server' => 'pop.gmail.com',
        'incoming_port' => '995',
        'incoming_security' => 'ssl',
        'incoming_username' => 'test@gmail.com',
        'incoming_password' => 'sometestpassword',

        'outgoing_type' => 'smtp',
        'outgoing_server' => 'smtp.gmail.com',
        'outgoing_port' => '465',
        'outgoing_security' => 'ssl',
        'outgoing_username' => 'test@gmail.com',
        'outgoing_password' => 'sometestpassword'
    )
);
  3. Once you've configured providers, run
    ./minion dataproviderDataProvider:incoming - to check incoming messages
    ./minion dataproviderDataProvider:outgoing - to send outgoing messages

For a real deployment you probably want to set up a cronjob to run ./minion dataproviderDataProvider:incoming regularly.

At the moment there isn't any UI for sending outgoing messages, so there's not much use creating a cronjob for that.
