Hi All

I’ve been sifting through mod.moblog.php trying to see how I can change the file so that the HTML version of an email is considered the default and plain text is considered the alternative for inserting an email into a weblog via Moblog

I’m trying to post a newsletter email to EE as if EE was a subscriber to the email list.  Therefore, if the email newsletter is sent in HTML format, I would like to have moblog receive the email and post it into a weblog in HTML format, so it shows the newsletter as it would be viewed on a web page.

Hoping this is possible ... how/where would I edit the mod.moblog.php? I’m sending the email from Campaign Monitor, by the way, not an email client.

Or… is there another way to do this?

Thanks

DHP,

The Moblog Module doesn’t quite work like that. See Submitting Content Via Email

You need to specify the fields that the content is going to be added to. You could try and wrap all the HTML in your CM template in {field:body format="none"}{/field:body}but I don’t know if CM is going to generate an error or not when you import it

Thanks Igmar. Unfortunately, mod.moblog.php has a script sets the text version of the incoming HTML email as the default, as opposed to the alternative - thus, the html email is ignored and Moblog imports the text version. So setting the format in the moblog template as you described only sets the format to be html on text only data.

I was seeking tips on how I can edit mod.moblog.php to reverse that setting and make the html email version the default for importing by moblog

Cheers

Hi, DHP - that would mean you would need to make code changes, and would be considered a hack. You’d need to maintain the code changes yourself. In the meantime, moving to the Community Help forum for additional community support.

I am also very interested in making this work with HTML content.

I have HTML tables generated by a system that are sent via Email. It would be great if these tables would display the same in ExpressionEngine. Unfortunately they get transformed to plain text :/

Moving to Community Help as Sue mentions where you may receive help from other members

I added this to the config.php file in expressionengine/config

$config[‘moblog_allow_nontextareas’] = ‘y’;

This setting permits the usage of other types of custom fields [like WYGWAM]

EE, please provide us with some starting point for this issue.
Moving threads to Community almost never gets a result :(

Not even one starting point where we can build upon?

I am aware that CodeIgniter & EE can send HTML Emails.
