Attached Image As Intro Image, suggestion for post by email next version Options

[EagleDK]

Hi,

If I sent an email to my website to make a article, and have attached a image.

How do I get the image set as the Intro image, for an article in post by email?
(How do I attached a image?)

What component you mean?

What component you mean?

In the Post By Email.

If I sent a email to my website with a image attached, how do I set it as the intro image?

With current version you can't do this. You can only insert attachments inside content.



Post by email Functions are described here: https://3dwebdesign.org/forum/post-by-email-pro-t743 and here: https://3dwebdesign.org/forum/post-by-email...3-s80#entry7833

Hi,

Can I then make it a feature request, because after a template upgrade, then the Post by email is complete useless to me until this is supported?

Regards

Morten

Yes, you can, but there is no warranty when this function will be included. In our TOS is written: We sale extensions "AS IS", without warranty for custom modifications.

Yes I know. :-)

Is there any possibility that above request will be implemented in a near future, or do I need to find another solution?

This function is useful and will be good to be inside component, so, we will include it in next release for sure. Only I can't say for now when next version will be done. Possible is to be released after summer - September or October.

That sounds very good, and I will look forward to this.
Because I really need this function. :-)

That would be nice when this feature will be there in the new version.

Hi,

Add this code in /administrator/components/com_post_by_email/helpers/importers/com_content.php before line 42

CODE

//### Remove base url ### schneider webdesign
$data['introtext'] = str_replace( JURI::root() , "", $data['introtext'] );
$data['fulltext'] = str_replace( JURI::root() , "", $data['fulltext'] );

//### add intro and full image, only the first one form the post ###
function catch_that_image( $str ) {
$output = preg_match_all('/<img[^>]+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"][^>]*>/i', $str, $matches);
return $matches[1][0];
}
$intro_image = catch_that_image( $data['introtext'] );
$full_image = catch_that_image( $data['fulltext'] );
$data['images'] = '{"image_intro":"'.$intro_image.'","image_fulltext":"'.$full_image.'"}';

That will do to add intro and full image.
Only the first image from intro and full text will be add to the content item
It is just a simple hack so add it on your own risk!

Ocean, thank you! We will check your code.

Well thanks for your help. But it load the first image twice, as intro and as a article image.

To save image in field "intro image" only, try to change last line of code like this:

Код

$data['images'] = '{"image_intro":"'.$intro_image.'"}';

To save image in field "full image" only, change last line of code like this:

Код

$data['images'] = '{"image_fulltext":"'.$full_image.'"}';

Thanks again.
But it still inserts the image both as intro and in full text, and I have tried this set of code:

CODE

//### Remove base url ### schneider webdesign
$data['introtext'] = str_replace( JURI::root() , "", $data['introtext'] );
$data['fulltext'] = str_replace( JURI::root() , "", $data['fulltext'] );

//### add intro and full image, only the first one form the post ###
function catch_that_image( $str ) {
$output = preg_match_all('/<img[^>]+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"][^>]*>/i', $str, $matches);
return $matches[1][0];
}
$intro_image = catch_that_image( $data['introtext'] );
$full_image = catch_that_image( $data['fulltext'] );
$data['images'] = '{"image_intro":"'.$intro_image.'"}';

and this

CODE

//### Remove base url ### schneider webdesign
$data['introtext'] = str_replace( JURI::root() , "", $data['introtext'] );

//### add intro and full image, only the first one form the post ###
function catch_that_image( $str ) {
$output = preg_match_all('/<img[^>]+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"][^>]*>/i', $str, $matches);
return $matches[1][0];
}
$intro_image = catch_that_image( $data['introtext'] );
$data['images'] = '{"image_intro":"'.$intro_image.'"}';

And both makes the same.
I go to end of line 41 and make a new line and paste the code there.

Any chance this can be fixed before the 18th. This month? :-)
I will be so grateful.

We are overloaded and I can say only this for now: Will try to check code to end of this week.

I do not like to lie, so I don't promise.

Thanks for being honest.

But how does it look, any change you had the time to test?
