Hi guys,

my customer wants a classified ads webpage and one of the major feature requested is that user, who added an ad can promote his ad by sending sms (text message) from his mobile.

It should work like this:
1. User add an ad
2. User wants his ad to be displayed on top of the others, so he sends sms to the specialy charged number.
3. User gets sms reply with the code in it.
4. User enters this code somewhere on the webpage (I think there will be a textfield somewhere in the ad content type)
5. Drupal will check this code again algorithm provided by sms provider or against his database/API function
6. If the code is correct, the ad gets promoted (displayed on the best position on the page, on the top of the others ads)

Any idea how to do that? Are there any modules which I could use to achieve this or (oh, no!) do I need to code it? :-)

Thanks a lot,
Petiar.

This site has a handy search feature. You can try searching the downloads to see what's available. (Such as this search.)

My guess is that for such a very specific use case you're going to need some custom code.
