• I have the beginnings of a moblog hack for WordPress 0.72 for which I need some beta testers. My mobile phone is not operational yet and I have no real way of testing this. Just a word of warning: THIS IS BUGGY CODE, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE. BACKUP EVERYTHING.
    So here we go…
    Download this file https://dinki.mine.nu/word/b2-img/b2mailtest.phps and rename it to b2mailtest.php. Put it in your wordpress folder and follow the instructions for setting up email blogging for WordPress. Remember to setup a cron job with the new bemailtest.php not NOT the old b2mail.php when you follow the email blogging instructions. Create a folder called tmp inside your WordPress folder and make it writeable by your webserver. This hack emulates the settings from the main b2mail.php. Once you have email blogging setup, send an email to your blog with the same information as you would when you blog through email(username, password, subject prefix etc), but now you can attach a picture (through your phone, can be used just through email as well, tested with jpeg and gif extensions) to your email which gets added to your entry. I am working on setting up video blogging as well, but I need to get my phone working first. This has a lot of possibilities, including resizing the image, adding the support for categories etc.
    Some suggestions to debug problems:
    Make sure you use plan text encoding for your email, works the best.
    If you are getting “error opening mailbox”, find the following line:
    $mailserver = “{“.$mailserver_url.”:”.$mailserver_port.”/pop3/notls}”;
    and remove the /notls
    Email me or post a note on my blogs. Expect some updates and bugfixes soon. Hope some people find this useful and it increases WordPress popularity. ??
    Peace.

    I have gotten enough requests to fix this right. I will release a pop3 version that supports 1.2 Mingus soon.

    No news about the new version of your moblog plugin? I have been looking all around for a nice and simple way of posting to my blog from my mobile phone (SE K700i) WITH picture attached. Without picture there is no problem using some Java software on the phone and post via the “Blogger API”, but with picture… no… ??
    I also don’t have any possibility to use cron jobs at my web hotel, but I guess I have to wap my “check mail-function” in WordPress.

    Thanks a lot Michiel, but I still have trouble. When I post from Outlook the body of the mail is displayed, but when I send e-mail from my mobile there is only the header showing… and the attached picture is ignored in both case.
