I put in the text custom field but i don’t know if this is what you mean. I tested it but i got the same message(s) backend and front-end: unable to connect to email server

this is the script i use in “moblog” template… feel free to change it because i’m a newbie…

{exp:moblog:check silent="false" which="moblog"}
{field name="extended" format="xhtml"}
{text}
{/field}
{/exp:moblog:check}

Have you assigned a custom field as Sue suggested? That would have to be done via the backend.

Hi, Niels. Just checking back in.. where you able to get back to the issue?

Pinging again.. any progress?

Hi Sue,

I’ve been very busy on some other projects but i’m still stuck on the moblog…

‘i’ve now set my tag in the template: http://www.cmm-online.nl/cms/index.php/CMM/Moblog

at:

{exp:moblog:check silent="false" which="all"}

{/exp:moblog:check}

but still i get: Janneke’s Moblog
Unable to connect to email server

You asked something about a custom field in the earlier post but i don’t excactly know what you mean by this.

any ideas? hope you can help so i can proceed with the project…

thx

You will have to assign at least one custom field to your Moblog. See the docs for details (“Channel Entry Settings”).

I have assigned a custom field to the moblog. and set the default field at moblog
the moblog template in the moblog module is:

{field name="moblog" format="xhtml"}
{text}
{/field}

{images}
{file}
{/images}

—

the tag in the molog template page is:

{exp:moblog:check silent="false" which="moblog"}

{/exp:moblog:check}

Still the message:
unable to connect to mail server.

What is going wrong here? i’m stuck on this.
You have my login information for this site so i hope you can help me a bit further with this?

Hello,

I’ve been working on the site: http://www.cmm-online.nl/cms

http://www.cmm-online.nl/cms/index.php/CMM/Moblog

-message 1 after refresh is:
‘Moblog is current’

-message 2 after refresh is:
Unable to connect to email server

Moblog was successfully checked

I still don’t know what the error/message means, what to do now, how i get this thing to work?

I’ve send a mail from my account with subject: ‘moblog: title’ and than a ‘bodytekst’

Grt Niels

Niels, it has to be something unique to your server. I created a second moblog using login details from one of my test moblog sites (which works on a third EE install). I get the same message about not being able to connect to the mail server.

At this point, I’m going to escalate the issue. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Do you mean ‘something unique’ to my e-mail server or ‘something unique’ to my webserver where EE is installed on?
Can it be a permission problem (the same as with my previous issue with images)

thx for the help so far.

Grts

Hard to tell. It’s not your email server, since I tested it using a server on MediaTemple, and I can successfully check that email server on an EngineHosting install.

I’ve escalated this to the next tier of support.

Hi Niels,

I will be looking into this problem for you.  Once I get up to speed and have a look around I will update you with my progress 😊

Best regards,
Barry Cogan

thx

Hi, Niels. I’m sure you’ll be hearing from Barry soon.
