Adding a custom parser

To add a new content type to supported items, register a handler for 'mailin:types','mailgun' and add your type definition to the list. Type definition contains a callable handler and a list of allowed fields:, _(*4)

elgg_register_plugin_hook_handler('mailin:types', 'mailgun', function($hook, $type, $return) {

    $return['event'] = [
        'handler' => 'my_mailin_event_parser',
        'fields' => [
            'date',
            'location',
            'description',
        ],
    ];
});

function my_mailin_event_parser(\ArckInteractive\Mailgun\Message $message, $fields) {

    $date = strtotime($fields['date']);
    $location = $fields['location'];

    if (!$date || !$location) {
        return false;
    }

    // save the event
    // note that this will be performed via cron, so there is no logged in user
    // you will need to set ignored access after checking container/edit permissions

    return true;
}

Once this is set, the user will see a EVENT type with a list of fields in their settings: Settings > Content Mail-In., _(*5)

Users can then send an email in the following format:, _(*6)
