hi, first of all Congratulations for this great piece of code
second...
I would like to use yapb features when posting via e-mail...
as far as I tried, it seems not to work
how to do this?
thanks
Hi iwonder -
That's a very interesting feature - I've made a look into
WP post by email and found out that WordPress doesn't support emails with attachments. If you'd attach an image to your post - you would see your image as sexy UUEncoded ascii-pile displayed inline in your text.
Nevertheless i found a nice email decoding library in PEAR and finished a nice prototype. It will need some time to program and integrate that feature cleanly into YAPB though.
So have a look later on,

Hi Johannes
thanks for the answer...
it's true, the wordpress shows the attachments as UUEncoded ascii-pile
but I found (and successfully tried) a plugin called
Postie that fix this feature , but the images are stored in a specific folder...
could Yapb be merged with Postie?
maybe is easier than developing a full e-mail feature for Yapb...
thanks again for this great piece of code

Hi iwonder -
Seems that the maker of postie doesn't want to cooperate - He deleted my proposal in his comments-list.
In my eyes it would have been much more clean if postie had released with one or two included hooks - so other plugins may react on uploaded files. Now i have three possibilities:
(1) I adapt the postie code and release a Yapb-Postie
(2) I just take the code i need out of the plugin
(3) I have to reinvent the wheel
(1) and (2) are bad style in my eyes - AND i have to periodically check the postie page for security fixes and patches.
(3) Is much work and unnecessary
So it will be a mixture of (2) and (3) - Just will need it's time.

this would make it THE kickass plugin for mobloggers. can't wait to see this feature in a public release!
YAPB rulez
Just to give some feedback:
This topic (mail parsing and all subtopics belonging to it) isn't a very easy one if you want to to it "the right and clean way".
And to be honest: It's not my #1 priority to implement that since i really don't need that feature (sorry).
I think i'll do it - But it really will take it's time.
Hope i didn't dissapoint you to much -

Just curious: Any news on this topic?
To be able to send pictures via mail to the blog would be really cool if you have, for example, 20 new pictures you would like to post.
- Easy and quick to take a mail-preset, attach a picture and hit "send" 20 times.
- But slow and much clicking if you have to do this with the WP Admin-Interface.
I could really need this. Maybe you can give a short answere if these features would work:
- send picture as a yapb-posting
- set a title
- set a description (blog-text) that could have the <--more--> clause
- set categories (multiple!)
- set posting-date (to be released next week for example)
Thanks a lot
lol. it would be cool if we could start small, just to get the ball rolling on it.
just getting the image and title working would be amazing!

The problem is: Getting the image out of the message is the big part. On my last research i didn't find a email decoding library out there and i don't want to do that manually since it would take much time and would be error prone.
I'll do another research for libraries - Let's have a look if there's something new.

Maybe the best way is to intergrate with postie somehow? Or ask if there could be a way of making a patch between you guys?

Has there been any progress made on this? I really like YAPB and I use Postie probably 4 or 5 times a day.
Having the 2 of them mesh together would be great. Even if you have to mesh codes somehow, I'll take it! I want my blog to look the same, whether from YAPB or postie!!!!
Thank you
