Hi,

I am using the Remote Publishing via email function. I have set the "map email to the user's email" to YES in the expectation that it would set incoming posts to be attributed to the emailing in user. However this didn't seem to work so I also set the "select a user" field to a Blogging username. This then worked but all posts are attributed to the username in the "select a user field".

1. Can I get it to attribute the posts to the correct user
2. I cannot delete/erase the "select a user field"


Martin
I have a question on this same subject. Am I to understand that if jane@mysite.com submits a blog and she is a user the blog author will show up as Jane and if bob@mysite.com is a user his post will show as Bob? But if Joe@myextrasite.com posts an email blog and he is not signed up as blogger his blog will show up as user "Admin" assuming this is the user I chose in the dropdown?
Thanks,
C:L.

Yes, that is correct By the way, I tried sending in a couple of emails and tried running the cron but it doesn't seem to be pulling anything. Is it possible for you to provide us access to the webmail?

Mark,

I think you are getting confused, I asked the original question in January 2013 and was worked through then, The recent post was from a different questioner, not me.

The posts were not picked up because they did not have the correct credentials for blogging.

Hello Martin,

Sorry for the confusion here. Pardon our mistake

Hey CL,

What you are describing is currently not possible. EasyBlog will check if the emails are linked to the user but ultimately it will set the author as the user you chose in the settings

Thanks!

@Mark Is it possible to get the hack that you put in for Martin? I also am interested in the user being set to the matching email.
Thanks,
CL

Hello,

The latest version of EasyBlog already allows you to enforce the user to have the same e-mail as their account on your site. You just need to enable the option "map email to the user's email"
