Sms gateways

SMS Gateway allows your website visitors to send information via SMS messages to other people. If you have enabled the OTP login and signup, you must setup a SMS gateway.

By default, GoClixy supports LK Infotech, Nexmo and SMS Global Gateways but you can also have your own SMS gateway.

How to Add Template ID to a Message?

SMS text is hardcoded in the language files. You must modify the language files for template id.

For instance, if you want to have a template id in the OTP message, edit the application/modules/users/language/english/users_lang.php file.

Search for the OTP message OTP is %s for your registration at %s valid till %s.

Add Template ID to the end of string like.

OTP is %s for your registration at %s valid till %s.###TEMPLATE ID###

Replace TEMPLATE ID with your OTP template ID.

You could also edit the language files through the Admin Panel via Developer->Translate.
