In order to get it to run automatically you would need to have some external process such as cron on linux or task scheduler on windows to execute the script periodically.
I give an example in the usage section in the post this comment refers to on how to do this with cron and curl on linux. On my own install I have it setup to check every 15 minutes with cron.

Is there a way to make this automatically check when a new photo is emailed? Or do you have to manually invoke it to check each time?

THANKS A LOT Kevin,
I had an extra ‘zpimpmail’ subfolder within the ‘plugins’ folder’.
You reply #5 helped me clarify as you suspected and it worked.

It looks like you don’t have the php imap functions installed or enabled. Check your php.ini to see if there is a commented out line for the imap library. If so, just enable it and you should be good to go. Otherwise you will need to install php5-imap in order to get it to work.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imap_open() in /home/…../plugins/zpimpmail/import_email.php on line 20

This error message appeared after I pointed to this plugins/zpimpmail/import_email_wrapper.php

Ok, just to clarify, if you are using version 1.01 and issue ‘find plugins |grep zpimpmail’ from ZP-ROOT you should get:

plugins/zpimpmail
plugins/zpimpmail/images
plugins/zpimpmail/images/mail.png
plugins/zpimpmail/import_email_wrapper.php
plugins/zpimpmail/import_email.php
plugins/zpimpmail/utilities
plugins/zpimpmail/utilities/zpimpmail_util.php
plugins/zpimpmail/README.txt
plugins/zpimpmail/mail_parsers
plugins/zpimpmail/mail_parsers/builtin

plugins/zpimpmail/mail_parsers/php-mime-mail-parser
plugins/zpimpmail/mail_parsers/php-mime-mail-parser/zpimpmail-parser.php
plugins/zpimpmail/mail_parsers/php-mime-mail-parser/attachment.class.php
plugins/zpimpmail/mail_parsers/php-mime-mail-parser/MimeMailParser.class.php
plugins/zpimpmail/mail_parsers/php-mime-mail-parser.php
plugins/zpimpmail/mail_parsers/builtin.php
plugins/zpimpmail/functions-zpimpmail.php
plugins/zpimpmail.php

If everything is in the correct place you should be able to activate the plugin so if you do not have that option I’m not sure what else could be going on. If you are able to activate the plugin, then there are two ways to configure it, one using the PECL extension Mailparse and the other using PHP”s built in mail parsing functionality. Regardless of whether you have the PECL extension installed the plugin should be able to be activated.

Thanks Kevin for answering.
Indeed, I’m mixed my words writing my comment.
My ‘plugins’ directory is in the [ZP-ROOT] folder as it should and not in the [ZP-CORE] so it respects plugin structure for 3rd party.
So I have: [ZP-ROOT]>plugins>zpimpmail>(zpimpmail.php file & zpimpmail folder)
Rob is talking about ‘pecl’ extension but I can’t find it in the Zenphoto extensions repository.
Should I install it?

Thanks, this plugin is perfect! Worked great once I realized I needed the pecl extension installed. I have a cron job checking email once an hour and it makes it easy for friends and family to send me images for the site.

Version 1.2.9 uses a different plugin structure than what you have described. As of 1.2.7 there are two different plugin directories, one for the zenphoto included ones and another for 3rd party plugins. The zenphoto plugins go in ZP-CORE -> zp-extensions and the 3rd party plugins go in [ZP-ROOT] -> plugins.

Here is a link to the relevant section of the docs on the ZenPhoto site:

http://www.zenphoto.org/2009/11/adding-third-party-features-to-zenphoto/

Give this config a try and you should be able to activate the plugin.

Hello, I’m trying to use your plugin but I can’t activate it and so I can’t configure or use it.

I’ve put it in the ‘plugins’ folder so I have ‘ZP-CORE>plugins>zimpmail’ folder within which I have ‘zpimpmail.php’ file and ‘zpimpmail’ folder.

But, nothing new appears in the back-end ‘plugin’ tab (activation) or back-end ‘option>plugin’ tab (configuration).

I’m using Zenphoto 1.2.9 [5088].

Thanks for your help.
Phil
