Hello John. Hope you receive this comment. I was unable to download your WP Mail plugin, because all the links to the files lead to your homepage, for example, try http://blade.lansmash.com/wp-filez/wp-mail-0.31... - it just opens your homepage. Anyway, I would be very thankful if you sent me the latest version of your WP Mail files to address given with this comment. Thank you in advance!

I'm getting the same message as Crumb:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: checkuserposter() in /home/elleno2/public_html/blog/wp-mail.php on line 248

I am sending from an address listed in the Authors & Users list. What do I need to fix?

thanks,
Dave

So, I might be a dork.. but I recently installed wordpress 1.5 and decided to go with a moblog. I wanted to use my phone to Doc my day. so this cool tool a try and might have missed a step. I dragged the three files "note: says two in docs" to the blog root. Made the two folders and chmod 777 then went for the blog/wp-mail.php to update the data and got.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: checkuserposter() in /home/.saffi/edstruz/struzenberg.com/blog/wp-mail.php on line 248

doah.. look like I need to be a user.. So I made my phone a user.

I guess the questions are
Does it sound like I'm on track?
Do I need to pass other arguments in the title line or just goup?
Do I need to include the password someplace?
am I a dork not finding FAQ's and posts that r rt in front of me?
Will my wife ever forgive me for the time I spend playing WOW?
Thanks for all the work.

Anand's fix for the default category doesn't seem to work fully if your default category for posting by e-mail is not 0 (mine is 4, as set in WP's web admin screens anyway). The post is still put in category 0 (Uncategorized) but if you go to edit the post, then it appears with the right categories selected on the right hand side of the edit screen... bizarre.

I also have the same problem as others with posting HTML comments from Thunderbird with embedded images - I get a broken image (with a URL like cid:... @mydomain) and the actual image at the bottom. It works even less well in Outlook Express but I suspect that is because OE sends two copies of a HTML message, both a plain text one and HTML...!

I'm also getting the problem of senders not being identified when posting. The post goes through, but the sender is not identified on the post.

Overall a great add-on, if the few bugs could get fixed it would be fantastic!

Mike

Rich, thanks for your comments...
It is feasible, but ultimately painful for the user.

My wp-mail hack has some limited security, it only allows people to e-mail wordpress if they are a valid user in the wp authors. this is open to abuse by falsely sending e-mails under your own e-mail address, but still some limits.

I have been working on a GPG/PGP authentication model where unless the message is signed it won't post in wordpress... but i think the need for this is limited. So far you have to worry about comments in your blog from online poker companies, not e-mail abuse.

Sounds like you have done a lot of work with this, I have just posted on the Wordpress forum for another possible enhancement/feature that you might want to consider:

I wound up with loads of image files I had uploaded to my blog while testing. After I deleted the test messages I still had lots of orphaned image files left over in the wp-photos directory.

I wrote some code to clean up my wp-photos directory and thought it may be of use to others.

I got it all installed, I am wondering where you go to configure what email addresses are allowed to post. I sent an email from my phone to the email address and cron is not processing the task. When I manually click on wp-email I get this:

#!/usr/bin/php -q
Invalid sender: phone@itsemail.com !
Not adding email!

I would like to have it set up so I can send from several different email addresses (work, home and two cells).

There are few problems I have.
1. There is no brackets [ ] in my mobile phone.
2. In the function get_content there is no
if(preg_match
3. I've moved to WP 1.5 and can't get this script work.
It always says there is no email:
http://www.alex101.net/wp/wp-mail.php
4. I'm wondering, should this script run by itself regularly?
5. Would it be better if subject would have semicolon devider
between category and subject:
GENERAL: My subject line

Please, please, please, fix the bugs and make it work with 1.5

Anand — Fri, 11 Feb 2005 14:38:51 -0000

There seems to be a bug in the code that is causing the "foreach" errors everyone is reporting. If you send an email without a "[category]" bit in the subject, the script does not assign any category at all (instead of use the default category as it should).

In function get_content, I changed this:

if ( preg_match('/^\[(.+)\] (.*)/', $subject, $matches) )
{
...
}

to this:

if ( preg_match('/^\[(.+)\] (.*)/', $subject, $matches) )
{
...
} else {
$post_categories[0] = get_settings('default_category');
}

and it started working fine. Otherwise, this seems like a great script!

I'm getting the same error when I don't post a category. It goes away if you put [General] at the beginning of the subject line, but that's kinda jenk, imho. This is a great plugin though, and although I'm no php expert, I think I can figure out in a few days how to make it automatically post to gerneral category if not specified. The email address checking feature is cool but bogus. I have like 5 different email addresses and want to be able to email to my blog no matter where I am. As it stands, I will only be able to email from work if I use a webmail client. Thanks for putting this out there though. I don't mean to criticize, just giving my 2 cents in case you're looking for feedback on how we're using it.

I looked at the code a bit more and it looks like $poster is not being set. Tried to echo it out and got nothing...

This is a great wp-mail substitute. I like it because it enables me to easily blog via my mobile phone. :)

However, version 0.311 brings out 2 awkward bugs, already mentioned above. 1) Not specifying the default category, when category left blank in the subject and 2) not specifying the author id. The thing is, these two worked fine in v0.2.

Tried fixing them myself but could only come up with _very_ amateurish solutions. Since I always use only one category for my 'moblog' posts, I commented out all the code between lines 144-167 except 152. And since I'm the only author of the posts, I modified line 180 to say 'post_author' => 1,.

Hope someone comes up with better fixes. :)

This version is working great with WP 1.5 and PHP5. HTML email support is a bit buggy. I get a broken picture link where I put the picture and the pic is posted at the bottom. This was with using Thunderbird mail client in HTML mode. Plain text works great.

I also get no author being posted despite the correct e-mail being in the from field. The option to default to a specified category would be good for when I forget to add it in myself

Re: WP-Mail ver 0.311

tom — Tue, 01 Feb 2005 16:14:24 -0000

I solved the errors thing - just had to make sure to insert [General] before my mail subject line (is there a way to automatically set what category they'll go into?) but my posts are being made without an author being listed, which is breaking the navigation in my blog.

Re: WP-Mail ver 0.311

Ricardo — Tue, 01 Feb 2005 12:03:42 -0000

I am having the same problem that the post is published without a category and without an author (even though the I'm sending the message from the WP user's email)...
