e-mail as input for blog

[henris17]

Hello,

I am a sailor and plan to make a blog /site in relation with my adventures in high sea. I don't have any web-connections on sea, just e-mail. Is there a way (a plugin or so) by which I could send an email to my sever and have it converted to a blog article on my website.

Thanks for your reply

Not that I've ever heard of...

I do like the idea. It might have some unwanted side-effects as what if someone finds out about this method and sends email in your name to that mail adres...?

If the Blog module has some public functions to add articles it might not be that hard to create a CMSMS task to read mail from a specific mailbox and create blog articles from it.

It would however require some php programming knowledge.

If you don't have time or knowledge to figure it out, it's a core function in WordPress.

I like the idea too, might be possible with IFTTT https://ifttt.com/ the trigger on sending an email is certainly possible, then it becomes more difficult.

The NMS module has a class that checks for bounced emails. Merging that class with the add_post action in the blog a programmer should be able to make an email input for a Blog module.

If you don't have the programming skills then the next step, if you want to use CMS Made Simple, is to hire a programmer to code it for you. Make sure there are plenty of security checks so it doesn't pick-up spam or create a security hole for your website.

Thanks,
Jeff
