    i’m trying to set up a moblog for a iPhone user to post pics/text to a weblog in version 1.70

    when i send an email to the address i have configured in the moblog, when checked i get “no valid emails were found”

    i’m not sure if i’m getting how exactly i get the fields from the email to match the fields in my weblog… i thought i’d matched.

    in the moblogging template i have the following code:

    {field name="blog_body" format="xhtml"}
    {text}
    {/field}
    
    {field name="blog_image" format="none"}
    {images}
    {file}
    {/images}
    {/field}


    my weblog has custom fields “blog_body” and “blog_image”

    the email i send does not post a new entry either. am i missing something?

    Where are you sending the mail from? What’s the content of the body? You can read more about the email format in the docs.

    Got it working!

    Moblog got the best of me for a day, but i think i got it.

    saw a post by Sue Crocker about the Moblog prefix, added it back in the Moblog preference, and get it right in subject of email, it works fine.

    but then i had a problem where when i clicked “check moblog” in the modules tab, it would go “white screen”. i saw another post about “allocated memory to PHP” and contacted my host service and they upped it to 64mb to be able to process the larger images from cameras and iPhones. he also said something about upping the max download size too.

    after that, it seems to be working fine, though i have to figure out how to make it automatically check as it seems it only checks when i manually click “check moblog”... but i saw a post on that too…. off to that problem.

    if the moderators want to leave this open for a little while longer, i will post my solution here, and then consider it closed. If there are any suggestions… please… thanx.

    solved.

    posted the following code

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

    to a bunch of the templates to force the check more often.

    moblog working perfectly now…
