Re: Posts Via Email
I just read this post and i’m actually using such a script to post from a mobile phone. It’s called Easymoblog: click here
You can see it in action on my moblog
This could be real fun for textpattern to implement.
Easymonlog uses a batch script that catches emails every x minutes on a pop account that you previously chose, uses gd to create thumbnails of pictures attachements and finally it posts the whole thing. So…check it out!

Oh really sorry about the HTML !!! I will put a file for download so u can use it all. Here it is: http://www.funky-monkey.nl/forum_textpattern.zip
If you see a rendered HTML page instead of HTML code it means that this forum is vulnrable for XSS (cross site scripting) please fix this!!!
(search google if you dont know what this is.) This is a dangerous exploit!!! You can fix this in PHP with:
$text_box_from_forum = stripslashes($_GET[input_box_on_forum]);
or
$text_box_from_forum = htmlspecialchars($_GET[input_box_on_forum]);
or
$string_for_database = htmlspecialchars($_GET[string_from_page]);
Hope this helped,
Peace,
Sidney

Did this ever amount to anything? I really want to be able to send photos from my mobile, but I don’t really want to have to switch to MT.
Also, hi Noah!

Re: Posts Via Email
This would be very valuable for me as well. I cover plenty of events from the road on the page I maintain and it is such a pain to find a net connection or simply to haul a laptop around.
Typepad allows you to post via email and I have used to to great success. Whether the post came from a blackberry, a palm, or a text from a phone to a predetermined email address – all are much simpler than the alternatives.
