esmswall

esmswall is a SMS-to-Screen display system built in Erlang using Nitrogen+Riak.

Dependencies

esmswall comes by default with Nitrogen packaged, but you are required to setup your own Riak cluster. See Riak Wiki for more information.

NOTE This only works with riak-0.10.1 at the moment.

You also need a way for the application to get the SMS data from the aggregator. The service which I use to test this out is Textmarks, and it works well.

Getting Started

• Start your riak cluster

• Start the esmswall: $ <install path>/bin/nitrogen start

• For the moderator interface, browse to: http://localhost:8000/moderate

• For the wall itself, browse to: http://localhost:8000/display

Having Issues?

• Make sure your cookies match in the vm.args in both Riak and Nitrogen
• Make sure your Riak cluster has started.
• Check your aggregator to verify it is sending data to: http://<your external IP>:8000/parse

TODO

• PRIORITY: Get it working with riak-0.12
• PRIORITY: Switch to using the Erlang PBC library for communications.
• More options for the moderators
• Easier to configure
• The ability to bypass moderation
• More control over the display
