Version 0.10 of TDO Mini Forms released!
(Sorry my website was down unexpectedly for several hours yesterday. It was due to problems with my host)
The big feature in this release is multiple form support. Check out the demo site to see how I’ve used it in a few examples.
Also included in this release:
- More open_basedir fixes. Suppressed errors for is_dir and other file functions if open_basedir is set. This mostly affects file uploads on sites with open_basedir set.
- Use “get_bloginfo(‘charset’)” in htmlentities in widget control. Hopefully this will finally resolve the issues with foreign language characters. However I suspect generated forms on site may have some corner case issues.
- Widgets that validate submissions know now if it’s for preview or post. Certain validation should only occur at post like captcha and “who am I” info for example. This is really a stop-gap measure. I plan to implement a proper “validation step” so that once it is submitted, then the user is asked for validation like Image Captcha.
- You can now set the number of multiple-instants of widgets per form.
- You can also set a form to submit pages instead of the normal posts.
- Fixed a bug where customfield textfield would submit empty values for the custom field if you had magic quotes turned off.
- Fixed a bug with Wordpress.org: Updated the “Freecap” Image Captcha so that the files get included in the release zip Wordpress creates.
That all said, shortly after I released 0.10, I fixed another bug. So if your having an issue with image thumbnails overwriting post content, well I’ve fixed it already and it’ll be in release 0.10.1.
I’m going to update the TODO list and come up with a road map for what is next for TDOMF. I’ll be looking for user feedback on what features people want/need.

***It is automatic translated text***
Cool!
But I have a few problems with your plugin…
I need to be translated it. To ru_RU. My WPLANG is ru_RU.
I have created a file tdomf-ru_RU.mo,put it to /wp-content/plugins/tdo-mini-forms, but I have no effect.
This file has incomplete translation, but I all equally do not understand the reason of such behaviour…
Can you help me?

Wow, this is becoming more and more sophisticated all the time… and more and more useful as well. Really excellent work.

Hi user-l, why don’t you send me a copy of your translation and I’ll try and get it to work. TBH I don’t know anything about Wordpress and translation so I don’t know why might be wrong.

This is an outstanding tool. Many thanks.
I installed 0.10 yesterday (first version for me) and got it up and running without too much trouble. I have run into two snags. however.
First, it does not seem to notify when a person’s submission has been accepted. There was a forum issue on this, and maybe it is being addressed already.
More importantly, the “your submissions” page does not show the status of my user’s submissions. I really am baffled here and would appreciate any suggestions…
Thanks again for an otherwise excelent plugin…

Hi, i’m glad i found your awesome plug in. Been in the www for a while try to find solution for creating forms in WP. TDOMF is just what i need!
I just wonder if user can embed the form at pages, because embedding in sidebars is not easy. The size of sidebars is somehow too small for forms. I’m talking like this contact form plugin http://www.douglaskarr.com/projects/wp-contactform/
Or is it possible for TDOMF yet i didn’t discover that ability?
Thanks.

Hi ddriver,
It doesn’t? You have to add the Notify Me widget to your form and the submitter has the check the box before this happens. I did test it with 0.10 so I didn’t think there was an issue. What does the log say when you approve a post?
The “Your Submissions” page will only show the list of posts awaiting approval. Or at least it should. You couldn’t point me to your site so I can see these problems myself?
It might also be best if you start a forum topic on this. I reply quicker on TDOMF issues on the forum than via comments.
Hi Robin, actually TDOMF is designed to work with the form in a page. You can automatically create a page with a form from within TDOMF or add a form to a page (or post) using a tag. Having it in the sidebar is actually a recent feature and unfortunatly it isn’t perfect because you have to do some magic to the form to get it to appear right.
Go the TDOMF menu as admin, go to options and then pick the form you want. You should see a link to create a page with the form. Also you can check out the readme.txt for details on the tag to use.
There is also a template tag if you want to add it directly to your
theme too.

What file do I have to edit to get the category list to appear under “Select a category” instead of beside it on this page http://jasoncarson.ca/?page_id=3
Thanks

Hi Jason, you can modify the file widgets/tdomf-categories.php if you want to change the appearance of the category dropdown list

It was incorrect path for textdomain. I have made this in tdomf.php (version is 0.10):
load_plugin_textdomain(‘tdomf’,PLUGINDIR.’/’.TDOMF_FOLDER);. But I have other problem which you have already solved: (. In widgets letters of cyrillic alphabet are displayed incorrectly (displayed one “a”). You can check up it?
Some letters from cyrillic alphabet: йцукенгшщзхъфывапролджэячсмитьбю.

Thanks user-l! I’ll copy the change in.
As for the cyrillic alphabet… I’ll check it. It should be working fine now as I double checked with polish characters before v0.10 release. BTW what version of wordpress are you using to test this?

Oh and btw user-l, you’ll probably need to update tdomf-form-post.php, tdomf-upload-inline.php and widgets/freecap/freecap_tdomf.php as well with your fix as they each locally load up the plugin_textdomain.

Iam getting a fatal error when I try to activate the plugin. What could be wrong??

Hi Matt, could you indicate what version of the plugin your using, what version of Wordpress you are using and what OS your host is running on?
FYI TDOMF does not work on WordpressMU. I have tested TDOMF on a unix based apache server with Wordpress 2.3.3.

Could I please get specific register_globals advice here.
TDOMF still reports that it’s “on”
> Hello John,
>
> On your server, you are able to use custom php.ini files to modify the server wide PHP settings. in your public_html/wordpress/ folder there is a php.ini that contains the proper directive to turn off register_globals. You can verify this at:
> http://shootedit.com/wordpress/phpinfo.php
This is the report:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path
/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini
> If WordPress still complains about register_globals being turned on, please copy the php.ini file to the same folder as the script that is running.

Hi John,
Have you tried the advice on the forum?
What does the phpinfo from inside TDOMF say? (Go to the TDOMF menu once your logged in as admin and you’ll see a link to phpinfo)
The TDOMF “script” runs within Wordpress, so the root of the script is Wordpress’ root. However there are a few scripts within TDOMF that run outside of Wordpress … wp-content/plugin/tdo-mini-forms
