[addviaemail] Feedback and Suggestions!

I am sure the author of this module would not mind if you work on it as well.
I am no regex expert but the team uses: http://weitz.de/regex-coach/ to help build regex's

Hello All. I've read through these comments and haven't found a solution to my problem. I receive this error whenever I go to the update page: http://<host>/gallery/main.php?g2_controller=addviaemail.addviaemailpage&g2_authToken=<token>

Any idea what I did wrong? Here is my current setup:

Gallery version 2.2.4
PHP version 5.2.5 apache2handler
Webserver Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) PHP/5.2.5
Database mysqlt 5.0.24a
Add via Email 0.7.3

Any help is appreciated.

Create a file with this one line as it's contents. Name it phpinfo.php and place it in your web root on your hosting service.
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Navigate to it and look at the results.
http://your.host.name/phpinfo.php

It should contain the IMAP section. Here is mine for comparison: http://www.trbailey.net/phpinfo.php

If it does not contain IMAP as a section header (they are alphabetic), your PHP does not support IMAP or pop3 and you need to send your hosting service the url to your phpinfo page and ask them to correct the issue.

I don't think multi user has anything to do with it.

Wow, I didn't even notice I had a lower case "a" in there... Guess I should have copied and pasted instead of typing! wget works, going there directly works...

Well, it says it has an incorrect password, but I can fix that and hopefully it'll work 100% after that.

Thank you for your help.

If you don't see this:
[img]http://www.trbailey.net/tom/images/imap.jpg[/img]
Or something very similar, it's not installed and you'll need to ask your web hosting provider to make sure it is. I don't think this gallery module uses the apache imap module.
If you have a private server or can install software it's usually called php5-imap.

I also have this problem,
would it be possible to filter out non image attachments?

Has anyone found a solution?

Ok, I'm back and will try to help who ever is still having problems. I shall make it a goal to check here every day, and reply as much as time allows.

If anyone has any problems past, or present, please post so I can you are still having problems. If you already posted, please just refer to a previous message so as not to clutter the forums.

Thanks!

Hi.

Love the plugin, I know it is not compatible with T-Mobile MMS, TMO sends the image along with 4 other .gif's to the email address which are then processed. It would be nice if you could specify a wildcard type to state what the file name is on the phone. IMAGE_XXX.jpg for example, so the plugin would only process items with that naming convention. That should solve a lot of problems with different phones sending the branding images along with the actual wanted data. Or you could go the other route and have it "ignore" specific file names attached in the message perhaps by typing it directly into the plug while setting it up or adding it as a txt file sitting in the directory. It's late so I can't tell if I'm making too much sense. Thanks for the great plugin and glad to see its active!

Tmobile's branding is as follows:
IMAGE_243.jpg 341 k [ image/jpeg ]
dottedline350.gif 1.1 k [ image/gif ]
dottedline600.gif 1.1 k [ image/gif ]
tmobilelogo.gif 15 k [ image/gif ]
tmobilespace.gif 1 k [ image/gif ]

Thanks Cobalt027 - Awesome plugin just installed on Wordpress 2.5, Gallery 2.2.5 and WPG 3.0.7

I'm having trouble after an upgrade. I deleted and reinstalled AddViaEmail, but it still will not add the photo to the gallery. It checks mail fine, grabs photo and put it in tmp dir /gallery/g2data/tmp (777) but does not add it to the folder associated with the "Email Submissions" gallery (gallery/g2data/albums/photos-from-email/ (777)).

I've also noticed that the page stops loading when it gets to the AddViaEmail block.

The manual test reccomended in the README also fails. Produces 500 internal server error.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Jeremy

Now I appear to be getting the same error as gnetwerker was when attempting to access

This works for me; but, somebody smarter than I will need to explain what I've done and whether it is in some way not a good idea.

In AddviaemailHelper.class (found in modules/addviaemail/classes/) there is a section that starts with:

// Beginning of loop that files all images

and ends with:

// end of loop the find all images

In that section I changed the last line (just before the curly brace) from:

          $imagesToAdd[] = $image;

to:

          $kpos = strpos($mimeType, 'plain');
          if ( $kpos === false ) {
                    $imagesToAdd[] = $image;
          }

I have commited a new version of Configure.inc. This resolved my problem with my module not working anymore. The error was a parameter I look for later on was getting blanked when selected POP as the server type.

I don't believe this module is under active development any more; also all the Gallery core developers are now working on Gallery3, so I'd say it's unlikely that anything new will be added to this module unless someone new steps in to take it on.

You could advertise for a developer in the marketplace section of this forum if you want to try to find someone to take it on under contract.

Don't know exactly what this does either, but it works perfectly for iPhone for me.

Thanks!

I thought I would post my success story with this plugin after experiencing many of the same issues such as authentication errors and such.

My goal was to have a way to upload pictures to my site from my camera phone.

My server and versions are:

Gallery version: 2.3
PHP version: 	5.2.9
Webserver: 	Apache/2.2.11
Database: 	mysql 5.0.81
Gallery Home:   http://pics.example.net/main.php

The email address I'm using is:

So Gallery Add Via Email settings are like so:

Server Type: POP3
Server Address: mail.example.net
SSL: no
Port: 110
Username: photos+example.net
Password: ******
Subject to Match: Ad

The subject was selected since it's the fastest I could type with a phone, I'd really like to not have a subject because I'm lazy, but this is ok.

Selected a designated album for my mobile uploads.
Selected NO for Body as Caption. I did mention I'm lazy.  I ain't typing in a body message on a phone.

As per the instructions, I used the manual test link. However, it could not run. I got the common authentication error issue as many of the previous users above: Error (ERROR_REQUEST_FORGED)

So I appended the URL with the session token. To do so, I viewed my page source and searched for g2_authToken. My manual test URL looks like:

http://pics.example.net/main.php?g2_controller=addviaemail.Addviaemailpage&g2_authToken=<PASTE YOUR TOKEN HERE>

That ran successfully. Now to set up the cron job. My server disabled wget and curl for cron jobs. So I created a php file like so:

<?php
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://pics.example.net/main.php?g2_controller=addviaemail.Addviaemailpage");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);

// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>

I saved that file as cron.php and uploaded it to the pics directory on my server. I scheduled my cron job like so:

php /home/example/public_html/pics/cron.php

and presto - everything works as it should

Take a pic with my phone.
Add the subject: Ad
Send it to:

When the cron job runs, it pastes it into my Gallery.
I tested with the cron job running every minute, but for real life applications, I only need it to check once a day.

So hopefully that information will help some others who may be stuck. This is what worked for me.
