02 web text software

Tiesto

hi all
does anyone remember that cool piece of software that saved u from having to log on to the o2 web site everytime you wanted to send a text...
i had one on my old computer 2 years ago but dont got it anymore...
Anyone got a link for me?

Ginger

For the web text (ie free version) this one did the trick

http://www.mackers.com/projects/o2sms/

For o2's own software package .. head in the Business Section and look for DesktopSMS or Desktop Text I think it is .. thats the one that integrates into Outlook

i created a shortcut in firefox (got it on boards before), create a shortcut in the toolbar folder with the following destination:

https://apps.o2.ie/NASApp/Portal/Login?username=YOURO2USERNAME&password=YOURO2PASSWORD&referrer=https://apps.o2.ie/NASApp/redirects/grouptext/webtext.jsp

and tick the box that says 'Load this bookmarkm in the sidebar'... saves me logging in all the time and annoying timeouts...

I tryed the one on mackers.com but i couldnt get it working.
Steve ,where is the toolbar folder? Is this possible with I.E aswell?
thanks

Thanks for the firefox shortcut. VERY useful!:)

thesteve

Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks -> Bookmarks Toolbar folder -> Create it in here...

It'll work in IE too but the advantage of doing it in firefox is that it opens on the left and keeps your current web page open too...

JackKelly

can you do it with vodafone?

thesteve

Haven't a clue, don't have a vodafone number to use to login to their site to test out a link...

Cabaal

Thank you much for the URL, very useful indeed,
The firefox sidebar trick works fine untill you send a txt and click on Click here to send another and then it loads in the main menu
still useful though

thesteve

True but in this case don't click the o2 link to send a text, just click the shortcut on the toolbar again, it'll open the same sidebar window again, bobs ur uncle, fanny's ur aunt...

Anyone a quick guide to how to get Mackers script working?

Sorry im a bit lost

EDIT

You have to install PERL on your system for this to work right?

I've been using that "text buddy" , mentioned above , for the last 6 months or more and find it handy .

You need perl and a set of perl modules. You'll find the exact list in the 'installation' section of the o2sms site.
