Hi kioko.. I will be glad to help you setup the RapidSms.. Bt unfortunately am not so sure how to configure it with django back end. Regards Mose

Dennis, rapidSMS is based on django, the views need to be written within rapidSMS inside an app. The structure of the app is as follows: <app_name>/ views.py- views to be displayed in webUI e.g. http://localhost:8000/ <app_name>/index app.py- SMS logic here config.py admin.py models.py To the best of my knowledge you can't integrate rapidSMS directly with a Django instance, but you could write a web hook that pushes incoming messages to another URL which could be a Django instance etc. On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 5:16 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks, Mose (& condolences to Dickson Ukanga). I was able to set up RapidSMS, but am stuck at the building of the Application.

A question meanwhile, Can I write the App in my Django Views instead of in RapidSMS?

Typically when it comes to django apps and rapidsms, you usually add your django-app as a rapidsms app in the apps/your_django-app you might just need to add an app.py in your app as every rapidsms app requires one, and if you eventually make use of the sms component of rapidsms the app.py is the one that will be handling the sms requests. rapidsms is basically a django project with sms/messaging wrapper to handle specifically the routing of messages to all apps. Once again, I believe you will be best served at the rapidsms mailing lists, one of the over 150 members has dealt with this question.

Thanks John, so what you are saying is that i can do this in my django app

{% url rapidsms_url sms as rapidsms_url_variable%}

and pass my sms to rapidsms for processing, Also, I assume, I canm do the reverse to pass SMS to Django
