Thread

Our client would like to publish new reports which contain a summary and a PDF via email.

We thought that the moblogging module would be perfect for this, but unfortunately we are running into several problems/shortcomings with it.

After clarifying a few issues here, we would now like to be able to ignore an embedded image.

Our client uses a signature which contains a logo which seems to break the functionality we are looking for.

This is the moblog template we are using:

{field name="report_summary_email" format="XHTML"} 
{text} 
{files}
<a href="http://{file}">Download File</a>
{/files}
{/field}

With the logo embedded in the email, the text of the email is not captured at all, only the ‘Download File’ link is.

Any suggestions on how we can ignore the embedded image of the signature?

Hi Fingo,

I’m not sure that Moblog is the best fit for your needs.

Unless your client has a specific need to post via email from a mobile phone, you would have much more power and flexibility using the included SafeCracker Module.

SafeCracker is as easy for your client as filling in a form, allows for file uploads and works outside of the Control Panel.

Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Cheers,

Thanks Dan.

We are specifically asked to set up publishing of posts via email - but that’s fine, we’ll work something out.

I guess you aren’t aware of a more sophisticated alternative to the moblog module?

Hi Fingo,

Unfortunately there are no alternatives at this time to the Moblog module. I would also recommend going with SafeCracker provided your client is willing to adjust their requirements. Is there anything else I can assist you with?

Thank you for checking this for us.

We don’t need anything else at the moment, thank you for your help.

I’m going to close out this thread, but feel free to post again when you have more questions.
