    Hi There!

    Is it possible to populate a posts custom fields / meta data via post emails through postie plugin?

    I have setup standard custom fields for all my posts that I want to populate via email too, not only the standard fields. Could you kindly advise if this is possible?

    Cheers
    Flo

    You can do this via the new Shortcode AddOn http://postieplugin.com/downloads/postie-shortcodes-addon/

    perfect, before I purchase the addon, can you please clarify how the setup would work. For example:

    – I have 2 custom fields custom_a & custom_b that I display when writing a post and manually fill with content for every post

    – I want to submit posts by email using your plugin and populate those 2 fields just as I would do when filling them manually while writing the post in the wordpress editior

    How would I implement this with your plugin?

    Thanks a lot!!

    It is pretty simple:

    Here is the content of my post.
[pcustom name=custom_a value="value a"]
[pcustom name=custom_b value="value b"]

    ok, looks easy enough, where do you define [pcustom] though, or is that a predefined shortcode?

    ah found it in your description page, its predefined, thanks! How about toggle / yes/no fields?

    Depends on how your theme works. One of these options should work.

    [pcustom name=custom_a value=true]
[pcustom name=custom_a value=1]
[pcustom name=custom_a value="yes"]
