Roaming Threads - Mobile Image Uploads Directly To Forum
Developer Last Online: Dec 2013
This plug-in will give you a quick and effective way to allow your mobile forum members to upload images to threads and posts in real-time. Your members will reply to secure emails sent to them from our platform and if they attach images to their replies- voila- mobile image uploads! RoamingThreads Basic is a free service that allows each of your forums to use our platform to process up to 99 emails per month and only 1 image attachment per email. For most forums this will be more than enough to handle your member?s needs since our plug-in gives you full control of which usergroups can make RoamingThreads and RoamingPosts. This is a great benefit to your VIP members if you have a subscription program, and it also makes for a great resource for your news team if you have one. Users with the need for more messages per month can easily upgrade to get more credits by following the instructions on our site once they have installed the plug-in and activated the service for their forum. All images are stored locally on your servers, but we handle the image parsing and mail server responsibilities for you! Go to the Roaming Threads forum if you want to try the service out as a user before you install.
Roaming Threads Requirements:
Features:
Installation:
Use and configuration: You?ve captured a bunch of photos using the camera of your mobile phone ? now how do you upload these pictures directly to a forum thread without having to transfer them to a desktop computer? With RoamingThreads you can either add images to an existing thread or start your own thread. To create a new thread:
Breaking out of the first post: If you would like for uploaded images to create new posts instead of being added to the first post before you reach the max number of images, change the subject line of your email to 'new post'. This will cause all additional uploaded images to be created as new posts in the thread. Adding Images to an Existing Thread
It?s as simple as that. RoamingThreads will add your images to the thread. Image Captions: Each image can now have its own caption. In the body of your email, you will need to use the following format to caption your images. Code:
@image_number your image caption@ Code:
@1 the first caption@ @3 some other caption@ Troubleshooting and Support We are more than happy to lend a hand getting your Roaming Threads install working properly on your forum.

I installed this, but do not get the Roaming Threads Post button. I did allow this setting in the Usergroup.

I just installed it on my test board and although its a good idea, not how i hoped it would work, was looking for something similar to facebook, where i could upload straight to a users album rather than create a thread and reply via email with attachments

I have people 'register' by sending a text message from their cell phone to a specific email address I've set up. I extract their cell phone number "email address" from the text message and have them enter their cell phone number into one of the additional fields. each provider is different: for instance sprint is nnnnnnnnnn@messaging.sprintpcs.com and image come through different from different providers. The code took a long time to develop and test. I have a cron job that runs every 5 minutes to check the inbox of the email address to process the uploaded pics. After they're registered I sent them an email much like FB does that gives them the email address to sent their mobile uploads to. I can also extract text along with the picture. I create a Mobile Uploads Gallery for them. It works great. After the new years I'll be redoing the code for VB4 and will offer the package for sale at probably $99 per site. Facebook uses a third party company that developed all of the code for nearly all of the major carriers. My code supports AT&T, Sprint and Verizon. here's the announcement on my forum about how it works. http://www.speedwake.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63279 |

Nice idea, still a bit difficult in my opinion.
I think an album that the user could directly send to from their phone would be awesome. Could just send the images to images@forumname.com and it was see the users phone number and assign the images to the correct album. Then the user can create a new thread and pull images from his album. |
