Downloadable Mobile Phone Content and Customisation...

[savage]

2 Questions that I could not find the answer do by doing a search within the forums

1. How can I allow paid up customers to download Mobile phone content straight to their phones? Has anyone got any suggestions how I might get this working?

2. on my site http://www.savagesoftware.com.au/store/ how can I get rid of the background image at the top of the page ( behind my logo ) and also the ZenCart advert at the very bottom of the page?

Thanks.

I am not sure how this mobile thing works. Wouldn't they need UMTS or something similar? Let a mobile phone expert tell you how.....


But the second questions is something you can do quickly. In your template folder open up your style sheet and edit the lines where it reads

TABLE.header {
  background-image: url(../images/header_bg.jpg);
  background-repeat: repeat-x;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border-right: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
  border-left: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
}

to read the following

TABLE.header {
  background-repeat: repeat-x;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border-right: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
  border-left: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
  border-bottom: 1px solid #9a9a9a;
}

and the background will be removed.

Hi masterblaster,
thanks for your response on the back ground image issue.

Do any Mobile phone experts lurk on these forums?

So far that I can think of is that you get a service provider for sending SMS and then send a SMS with a temp link to the downloads created by zen-cart for download.

Maybe you can use the WAP protocol to handle this... you might want to google on methods on how to send files to a mobile.

This would require some extra coding but should be doable.

you should use wap protocol in order to do it! i'd developed one WAPsite few years ago but never did what you just trying to do...i think it would be wise for you to dig a little bit about how WAP works...! good luck...

[masterblaster]

I did a little research myself because I was somehow interested in how it works.

You could use a WAP gateway like clickatell.com to use WAP push and send the files over to the mobile number you specify. This could be extended to use zen-cart to send files to a mobile with a cronjob.

If you me to help you, feel free to pm me. I have good rates
