Popfetcher Plugin: Wishes for enhancement
Posted: Sun Jun 03, 2012 2:23 pm
Now that Posterous is closing the popfetcher plugin is becoming more and more important I think. I tested it on my testblog and found some problems and feature wishes I had. Is anyone still maintaining this plugin? If not I would perhaps take some time to work on it..
Sender email
In the configuration the option is described as "put your sender email here if you want to allow only posts from this email". If I do so my mails are declined because my mail client is sending as
<"Grischa Brockhaus" name@domain.tld> (not name@domain.tld only)
If I put the complete string into this option it works but won't if I send from another client sending with email only. So there should be some parsing making the plugin detect the email (no matter in what form it comes).
And I would like to define more than one email address. A csv list would be okay.
Image attachments
When I sent emails with attachments from my Android phone (using K9) the post is published and the attachment is put into my mediadatabase, but the image is not part of the post. Only when I do add [attach:1] explicitly to my email text the image is added at this position.
On twitter I learned that this should (and does) work w/o the [attach:n], too, but it doesn't in my case. Perhaps this is a problem with form of email my client is sending? I would see this as bug.
Thumbs vs big images
This is setup globally. I would like to change this from post to post, so perhaps we could use something like [thumb:n] vs [image:n] ([attach:n] would be "like configured" to be backward compatible).
Other attachments types?
I tried an email with video attached. This is not supported, so it seems. Would be cool, to support video and audio, too. We would need some players / html5 code to make this work, though.
More?
Well, there could be more, Posterous could be an example, what the popfetcher could do (resizing images to max sizes, galleries, ...)
Anybody interested?![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
