Hello Tikians,
I have two use cases in mind, where I want to connect Tiki Trackers and
eMail and ask for some feedback.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.) *creating tracker item by submitting an eMail*
I want to be able to create tracker items by eMailing to the system or
to a connected IMAP/POP3 account, similar as we use it to connect the
dev-list to the Tiki forums via a POP3 account.
Idea is to collect court desicions in a way that members of our NPO
submit via eMail with about
* a sender/contributor eMail field
* a textfield for the topic
* a textarea for the email content
A submitted eMail get's a pending state, can be reviewed, deleted or get
status open or closed
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.) *sending eMails with tracker or pretty tracker or similar*
We use mailing lists with fully text based administration (Majordomo).
Idea is to create fields to submit Majordomo commands like
subscribe/unsubscribe etc. to the list and thus using Tiki as a
Majordomo frontend to make certain tasks easier for non-tecchie users.
Replys of the list still go to the users eMail adress - no reply to the
Tracker / Tiki required
I a halfway there: it is possible to send from the users set contact
eMail autofetched fro the logged in user to the lists adress.
Problem is, that Majordomo does not recognise the commands, as I assume
the command is not sent in the very first line of the email body, or the
tracker might send HTML code even when plain text is set.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am looking for some ideas, comments, pointers. It is not a major
project or any emergency, but it is a quite long expected nice to have,
respectively would ease some processes in the NPO for a foreseeable time.
Best regards
Torsten
