lcOpenInviterPlugin

The lcOpenInviterPlugin is a symfony plugin that allows users to grab their contacts from different e-mail providers (gmail, hotmail, yahoo ...) and social sites (facebook, hi5, flickr ...) then send them e-mails and messages.

The total of available providers and social sites is 86

This plugin is developed by LetsCod.

Server Requirements

• CURL extension for php
• DOM Element support for php

If you're on windows OS, you should create an empty folder "tmp" for cookie storage. (for example, if you're using wamp, create the folder C:\tmp)

Installation

• Install the plugin

  $ symfony plugin:install --stability=beta lcOpenInviterPlugin
  

• Publish the plugin assets (css and js):

  $ symfony plugin:publish-assets
  

• Clear you cache

  $ symfony cc
  

Configuring your plugin

• Configure the plugin by running the plugin task:

  $ symfony open-inviter:install
  

this task checks your sever configuration (php version, curl installation, DOM Element installation, cookie path ...) if everything is okay, a log file will be written

• Enable the module and helper in your application settings.yml

      [yml]
      all:
        .settings:
          enabled_modules:      [openInviter]
          standard_helpers:     [openInviter]
  

• Configure the e-mail text and providers in your application app.yml

      [yml]
      all:
        lcOpenInviter:
          wish-list:
            providers: ["hotmail","gmail", "aol", "facebook", "flickr", "hi5","indiatimes", "operamail", "tagged", "yahoo"]
          message:
            subject: "is inviting you to join letscod developers"
            body: "Check our recruitment page"
            footer: "LetsCod"
  

The user wishlist

• If the wish list is not set, a default wish list of "Gmail, hotmail and yahoo" is provided

• If the wishlist is set to all, it will return all the available providers

      [yml]
      all:
        lcOpenInviter:
          wish-list:
            providers: [all]

          echo link_to("invite", "openInviterHome");

The Auto-updates

As each service and provider updates their url of getting contacts for their own security reasons, a task has been created to do update the plugin's classes.

    $ symfony open-inviter:auto-update

You can run this task manually to get the updates, but the best way would be to make a cronjob that runs this task twice a day (every 12 hours) for the perfect balance between server load and autoupdate frequency.

I use it

If you do like the plugin, and think it helps the community, do not hesitate to click I use it , so it could be more trusted and spreaded fast.
