OK, I have a demo of the sendmail hack working. No real security to it
yet so be nice ;-)
As a reminder, this hack allows people to communicate with Geeklog via
email. The code is pretty generic and could be used easily with just
about any program.
I moved the server code to www.geeklog.net and the client stuff is on my
mail server.
All interaction requires a command and a username (eventually a
password). To get a list of all installed commands send a message to
geeklog-test at lists.geeklog.net with this:
command: help
username: <geeklog.net username>
That should send you an email that explains that submitstory is the only
command installed (new commands are easily added). Then to get help on
a specific command email the same address with this:
command: help submitstory
username: <geeklog.net username>
That will return the details of the submitstory command. Then, per the
message send a message with this:
command: submitstory
username: <geeklog.net username>
title: <story title>
topic: <topic id>
mode: <html or plaintext>
story: <text for the story>
This *should* save a new story to the submission queue.
I'll be adding security here shortly and then documenting this stuff.
Not sure how usefull this really is to Geeklog as I know I won't
personally use it but we have had requests for it and I thought it would
be a fun challenge. They way it is built, it is VERY easy to add new
commands which makes this of interest to plugins too.
Send any feedback...
