Emailing Stories into a Slash Site?

posted by Krow on 01:31 PM December 2nd, 2002      

Is it possible to email a story into a slash site rather then using the web interface? I have a slash site setup as a company bulletin board. One of the things I'm attempting to do is reduce the number of staff wide emails by having them posted on the slash site. I figure if I start positing these messages to the slash site and people receive the daily email of last day's news they will start to use it. Any suggestions?

  There was discussion about this a year or so ago, and someone had a hack where you could do this. I have no idea if it works on the latest version of Slash.
  

  I'm still waiting for some sort of file/image upload functionality in slash...

    I have a plugin that needs to be debugged in CVS.
    
    The file image/uploading is coming. There is a patch for it on SF that I need to look at.
    
    We have an internal request for this support though that has to come to first. I am hoping to see the design docs completed soon (which means I start coding it).

      Wow. The feature that along with a more finely grained sleclev system would, in my opinion, have Slash boarding on perfect.

      Can't wait to see this one going : )

        More that we need to just start making use of the ACL support that we have. Putting an ACL editor directly in admin.pl would be a good start.

      btw, the diff is in *feature requests*, not patches, for anyone heading over to sourceforge to check this out.

    That was me, and it's not working with Slash 2.2 or higher because the comment system has changed: script saved new messages as stories, replies to those messages as comments.
    
    If something is gonna be cooked inside Slash, go for that, or just email me if you wish.
