Hi everyone!

I like the option to upload blogposts via e-mail. Postie is running fine, upload is working. :-) But I don't like the way, Postie integrates images.

It would be great, when I can get the same layout for all post. For my regular posts, I like the inline slideshow, shown here: http://www.kriesi.at/themes/flashlight/portfolio-item/wedding-photography-slideshow-gallery-style/

In Posties options I'm able to define a HTML-Code.

Standard:
<div id="attachment_{ID}" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: {MEDIUMWIDTH};"><a rel="attachment wp-att-{ID}" href="{PAGELINK}"><img class="size-medium wp-image-{ID}" title="{TITLE}" alt="{CAPTION}" src="{MEDIUM}" /> </a><p class="wp-caption-text">{CAPTION}</p></div>

What would be the right code to get the inline Slideshow?

Thank you!

Dennis

Hey Kriesi!

First my compliments. I love this theme. :-) Well, of course I've some problems, but most of them I solved by myself. And I'm a newbie to Wordpress.

I tried your code, and there are problems. They are beyond my knowledge.

When you install "Postie" you'll get a recommendation for a customcode:

<div id="attachment_{ID}" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: {MEDIUMWIDTH};"><a rel="attachment wp-att-{ID}" href="{PAGELINK}"><img class="size-medium wp-image-{ID}" title="{TITLE}" alt="{CAPTION}" src="{MEDIUM}" /> </a><p class="wp-caption-text">{CAPTION}</p></div>

Than I tried your code but the result was crap.

Where must I add "attachment_{ID}" (and others) to your code? "Titel" and "Caption" are clear! :-)

Thank you!

Greetings from Germany.

Hey Dennis! I am not sure if this plugin is really compatible with the way my slideshow works. Is the plugin able to set a post preview image? that would probably work better than trying to add custom html :/

Also why exactly do you need to post via email? Maybe there is an easier way to do what you need :)

Hey Kriesi!

Thanks for helping again. I'm a newbie to Wordpress. Maybe I misunderstood you, but perhaps...

Okay - that's the options:

Simple Link: <a href="{FILELINK}">{FILENAME}</a>

No Wrappers: <a href="{IMAGE}"><img src="{THUMBNAIL}" alt="{CAPTION}" title="{CAPTION}" class="attachment" /></a>

WP-Default: <div id="attachment_{ID}" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: {MEDIUMWIDTH};"><a rel="attachment wp-att-{ID}" href="{PAGELINK}"><img class="size-medium wp-image-{ID}" title="{TITLE}" alt="{CAPTION}" src="{MEDIUM}" /> </a><p class="wp-caption-text">{CAPTION}</p></div>

Thumb left (or right): <div style="float:left;margin-right:10px;"><a href="{IMAGE}"><img src="{THUMBNAIL}" alt="{CAPTION}" title="{CAPTION}" class="attachment" /></a></div>

The Programmers style: <div style="margin-right:10px;background:black;color:white;padding:2px; width:{MEDIUMWIDTH};float:left"><a href="{IMAGE}"><img src="{MEDIUM}" alt="{CAPTION}" title="{CAPTION}" class="attachment" /></a><div style="padding:.2em;text-align:left">{CAPTION}</div></div>

Postie Legacy: <div class="postie-image-div"><a href="{IMAGE}"><img src="{THUMBNAIL}" alt="{FILENAME}" title="{FILENAME}" style="border:none" class="postie-image" /></a></div>

And Custom: <div id="attachment_{ID}" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: {MEDIUMWIDTH};"><a rel="attachment wp-att-{ID}" href="{PAGELINK}"><img class="size-medium wp-image-{ID}" title="{TITLE}" alt="{CAPTION}" src="{MEDIUM}" /> </a><p class="wp-caption-text">{CAPTION}</p></div>

Is there something, you've been looking for?

Why would I like to post via e-mail. Well, my present Homepage {ROT13}uggc://jjj.xvryubea-cubgb.qr/{/ROT13} is "handmade" HTML. I started to learn some HTML with building this page. But if I want to update my Blog ("Neues"), I've to change the source. When I'm taking pictures while I'm traveling, I would like to share from time to time pictures. Logging in into Wordpress in not an option on insecure PCs. So it's easier to get a mail-address for traveling (example: Hotmail) and upload via e-mail When you at home, you can easily cut of the e-mail and everything is fine.

Suggestions are welcome. :-)

Hm I am afraid non of these options can set a post preview image as attachment, which would be necessary to use the built in slideshow options. Are you traveling with a smarthpone or tablet? There are several wordpress apps that you could use when nearby a wi fi station to upload images and write posts.

another option would be to enhance the security of your wordpress installation so it runs on ssl encryption

There are probably other options but I am afraid I dont see the Postie plugin working with the slideshow. :/

Thanks for your help! :-)
Okay. I would prefer the slider, because that's what I will use on my new blog. But okay. I'll give PrettyPicture a try. :-)

Using (unknow) hotspots with tablets is not really an option. See this (german) article for a small overview: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Die-Hotspot-Falle-1394646.html

SSL is something, that I'll check too. After PrettyPicture! ;-)
