Tutorial Video for TDO Mini Forms!
A guy called Court has put together a video tutorial and article on using TDO Mini Forms, my free Wordpress plugin.
The video is pretty good too as it shows you how to create a submission form and an edit form. I think I may be adding a link to this on the FAQ! 
As a footnote to the video, the latest version 0.13.7 does include Custom Field editing and the compare view for edit posts is now working.
Also check out his site for indie musicians called indilean that uses TDO Mini Forms too.

Hi,
Sorry for submitting this request over here but I wasn’t able to register on the Forum nor I was able to submit a guest submission..
First of all, thanks for the plug-in. This is exactly what I was looking for and it will fill my needs.. as soon as I get it working!
I’ve already created a page which is displaying the form ok (http://saplab.org/submit-your-link/). I want to allow visitors to submit their blog links using this form. It’s a simple 7 field form.
I have a custom field which has a key of “LINKTITLE”, which should correspond to the Post Title in the backend. I also have a last “Append Custom Field to Post Content 1″ enabled with the following code:
$post_id,
“post_title” => $link_title);
sanitize_post($postdata,”db”);
wp_update_post($postdata);
?>
Problem: my post gets created in draft mode but instead of the correct post title, it appears showing the date and time, in format dd-mm-yyyy(hh:mm:ss).
What am I doing wrong? Can you help me?
Additionally, I’d like the post title’s Permalink to point straight to the post url submitted by the user (redirection). Can you also help me on this?
Many thanks in advance.
Antonio

Thank you so much.
Amazing video!!!….
Question if I may:
How do you customize the way the form appears; as the background color and I also get nasty looking boarders around the Title(s) of the widgets in the form.
Thanks again for the great vid!
Cheers

@Antonio Everything you ask for is already there.
First to modify the post title, you need to use the Content widget. This has a “Post Title” field. You don’t use Custom Fields to modify the post title.
Second, there is a permalink widget. This widget allows the user to enter a URL. This URL will become the permalink of the post.
@Evaeve Images to modify? I’m afraid TDOMF doesn’t support image modification currently. Is that what you’re looking for?
@Jay I didn’t create the video myself btw. You can modify the look of the form several different ways, via stylesheets, via the options in the individual widgets and via the form hacker. You need to know a little CSS really to modify the form.
