txt - take pictures - mss them back?

[madkad]

Hi, I want to be able to msg my phone so it takes some pictures and mms them back to me

so far this is what I have seen on this and it starts to work

===
Create Variable %StolenFilename as Stolen
Create Variable %Shots as 1
Create a task
(Task) For %Shots items 10
(Variable) Variable Join %StolenFilename %Shots
(media) Photo - under filename put %StolenFilename
(Phone) Compose MMS (number is whoever you want to get pictures) Attachments %StolenFilename
(task) wait 1 second
(Task) end for

sends 10 mms pictures (change the number of items for more or less)
==

so it takes for some reason 1 picture but names it %StolenFilenamethen looks for it in my sd card location and give an error like

location not found: sd/dim/%StolenFilename

so i kind of get it, the reason I dont think its taking more than one pic is becuase its naming them %StolenFilenamenot different names?

can anyone figure this out, even it I could get one image sent back via mms would be a great start?

thanks

Did you type the error yourself? Because sd/dim doesn't exist. It should probably be sdcard/dcim... or is this a red herring?

 

[madkad]

thanks for the reply

i couldn't remember it spot on as it flashes up pretty fast so I typed an example

is that what you meant? sorry only been using tasker for a week or so

 

[SUroot]

Yeah sorry... I meant if the message was ad you posted, yeah would make sense it can't find it

So now that's sorted...

Go and check what I expect is /sdcard/dcim/tasker and look for these photos and see whats there.

Also go to the variables tab in tasker and look what %Shots looks like.. screen shot if possible please

 

[madkad]

for the images in that folder you said there is one called %StolenFilename.jpg

i looked at the error and managed to get it this is what its looking for:

/mst/sdcard/%StolenFilename

but dont know where that is getting set to look there?

attached screen shot is that the screen you wanted?

 

[SUroot]

Is there a guide you followed?

 

[madkad]

yeah its just this I posted up there it was on a forum, but was an old post

I was hoping I could fix it if it was faulty, I dont mind doing it different if there is a better way or another tutorial somewhere?

thanks

 

[SUroot]

That's what I was afraid of because they're not particularly precise...

could you help me on doing this? as that kind of works but needs to be able to name each image different and find the images to send?

 

[SUroot]

Sorry. Not based on what you posted I am afraid. I would suggest finding a new guide.

Maybe if you can export me your profile, I can have a play with it.

ok np thanks I will have a look and see if I can, also looks like no other guides on this are around

thank you

Just long press the profile > export > export xml to sd, then zip it and attach here.

Can't guarantee a speedy resolution as time is not always free but at least I can have a play and see it in real time...

I have attached it for you mate sorry for the wait

hope the attach is correct

 

[SUroot]

Good news? Fixed you filename / attachment issue.

Bad news is... "compose mms" doesnt send an mms. You'd have to manually press send. Same with "compose sms". There is a "send sms" option that does automatically send but no mms equivalent.

You may have to consider amalgamating this with the profile I posted that emails pics of people putting incorrect pattern locks in

 

[madkad]

wow thanks I will install and have a look, love the idea of emailing this, do you have a link to where you posted that profile?

thanks also for your time on this

 

[SUroot]

Its in this tasker forum somewhere... in a thread of its own...

I'm mobile so I can't link easily

 

[madkad]

I found it thanks, I got that working I just am trying to tie them together, well the idea to me would be just to change the action at the start so instead of the attempts on the password I would add received txt with a word

so think I could do this unless I am thinking wrong lol will post back soon

 

[SUroot]

Yeah should easily be able to. Of course theres nothing to guarantee its in their hand

 

[madkad]

its strange, i did what I said, and when it gets a txt you can see the pyphon start etc, but no email sent

 

[SUroot]

Did you add all your email details in the variables?

 

[madkad]

sorted it all working I will add the profile now

going to do some extras hopefully to it, like add in the location of the phone, set alarm sound off and things thanks for all your help

well cant attach for some reason it says "You may not post attachments"

strange cos I could
