Hmmm if memory serves that is all it returned for me, thats why I added the yourdomain stuff.
Just a guess, but you may need to go back to your zoneminder options and see how you have the various parameters set.
send html email w/inline images
Argh! I still can't manage to get it to work.
I'm quite sure all the settings in the zoneminder web config are correct, however I realised that even if I make it work, I require a username/pass to access the http:// connection of zoneminder, so wouldn't it block my email client from viewing the picture anyway?
Viewing carteriii's original code (if you click the quote button on his post, you can see the plain text source code to avoid any problems with the <bcode> option), it seems to indicate that a *.jpg is attached in the email, rather than linked to (via http://yourdomain.com/zm/....picture.jpg). I have tried both sets of code he has provided and neither work for me... I keep getting a little box with a red cross in it in the place of the 'inline_image1'.
Has anyone managed to get this to work? Please let me know how you solved your problem.. It's really starting to frustrate me as I get quite a few emails per day and having to open each email, save the picture, then open the picture is driving me nuts

Can you post up the contents of the e-mail you are receiving?Voltage54 wrote:Argh! I still can't manage to get it to work.

nope because I got it working :D:D
For some reason, when the script is set to multipart/alternative ... the images will refuse to load. On multipart/mixed it works (and adds the plain text part as an attachment... which I can live with).

Re: send html email w/inline images
Hi, all
Forgive my leak of knowlage, but i'm pretty new on linux - zoneminder - perl scripts
This script is for add more pictures to mail alerts notification ?
Or just to show alerts pictures in mail content ?
I search a way to send to send a bundle of alerts pictures ( something like 1 picture for every 3 sec of the event) instead of a video. But zoneminder only accept "Firt" and "Max score" picture attachement.
This script can help me ?
thx

Re: send html email w/inline images
So this is an old thread. Just wanted to say that I merged the ideas here into current master. 1.37.31. attached images are now inline.
