Quick update on TDO Mini Forms



The Form Hacker is working! The soon-to-be-released new version of TDOMF will contain the first release of Form Hacker. With Form Hacker you can modify the outputted code of the Form, so you can move around fields from different widgets, change the “Post Text” text, format the form anyway you, add new PHP code, and many other things. It is quite powerful so be careful using it. The only limitation at the moment is that you can not modify the preview output or the Upload Files widget. I’m currently working on this and it may/may not be in the next release.

Also, with the Form Hacker, you can modify any and all messages that TDOMF prints out, such as the “your submission is now in moderation” or “you doesn’t have permissions to use this form” messages. The only limitation is that you can’t currently modify the messages from widgets, such as the notify-me emails. This is something I will be adding soon.

I’ve done some updates to the widgets too. The Text widget now supports several macros and can included PHP code for really advance stuff. The Categories widget can now display as checkboxes or radio buttons (thanks sillybean.net for that one).

And I’ve added two new options, the first one allows you to choose if you want to redirect to a submission after posting if moderation is disabled and set a fixed size for the log (several people reported issues with memory allocation and the log).

Hopefully by Friday, I’ll have version 0.12 out for you all. If you can’t wait, you can always grab the dev version which has the latest working code.
