Downloads: TDO Mini Forms Wordpress Plugin (v0.12.3)
This plugin allows you to add a form to your website that allows your readers (including non-registered) to submit posts.
Download now from Wordpress.org!
Version 0.12 introduces the Form Hacker which allows admins the power to modify the form code from within the plugin as opposed to hacking the plugin source code. Nearly all messages to the user are configurable now
TDO Mini Forms has been used to turn Wordpress into a Forum and a Contact Manager!
This plugin allows you to add a form to your website that allows non-registered users and/or subscribers (configurable) to submit posts. The posts are kept in “draft” until an admin can publish them (also configurable).
The plugin provides an extensive moderation view so administrators and editors can see posts awaiting approval and publish or delete them. Administrators can also ban specific users and IPs from using the form. Administrators can also “Trust” specific users. This means that when they use the form, their posts are automatically published. This does not give them any other rights or permissions using the Wordpress software, it only affects usage of the form. This applies to user and IP bans as well. There is even an option to automatically trust users after so many approved submissions. (It should be noted that submissions from users that can already publish using the normal Wordpress UI, will be automatically published.)
Administrators can configure the form using drag and drop “widgets”. They are based on the same model as Wordpress’ built-in Theme widgets and it is possible to write your own. With 0.7, more options are available and it is now much easier to integrate with your theme. You don’t even need to modify your theme any more to display submitter information!
Registered users have access to a “Your Submissions” page which lists their current submissions awaiting approval and links to their approved submissions.
Features
- Integration with Akismet to prevent Spam
- Highly customisable: Create your form using a Widget interface.
- Create as many forms as you like.
- Put a form in your sidebar using a widget for your Theme.
- Submit pages instead of posts.
- Simple Question and/or Image Captcha.
- Posting Policy.
- Add Custom Fields to your Form.
- QuickTags support for Forms.
- Upload Files and can be attached to posts. Uses Wordpress’ core to create thumbnails if applicable.
- Submitters can be notified if post approved or rejected.
- Allow users to select category and tags.
- Ban users and IPs.
- Control what roles can access the form.
- Can automatically create a page with form for you.
- Can automatically modified author template tag with info about submitter.
- Can, optionally, automatically allow submissions to be published.
- Throttle number of submissions by user and/or IP
- Optionally Queue published posts
- Numerous widgets for your theme, including a list of the top submitters
- And many more…
Verision 0.11 provides intregration with Akismet, Submission Throttling, Import and Export of Form settings, Queuing Approved Post, Top Submitter theme widget and numerous bug fixes!
With version 0.10.3, “Bad Data” errors and register_global issues should be a thing of the past!
Version 0.10.2 provides compatibility with Wordpress 2.5!
Version 0.10 is a big upgrade. You will not be able to use previous versions about this install.
Version 0.7 is a major reworking of the code. Make sure to follow the upgrade instructions if you are using a version prior to this!
For Installation, Screenshots, FAQ, Full Version History and Known Bugs, please check the included readme.txt or the Wordpress.org page for the plugin.
For Support (and live demo), please see the Forums.

Great plugin. Just found one snag in that when the form is filled in by a “guest” it automatically publishes the post rather than moderates. Any ideas why? Thanks.
Administrator
November 23rd, 2006 at 2:08 pm
Hi Breger, what do you mean by “guest”?
It’ll only automatically publish posts if
a) The submitter is logged in with a user account that can publish anyway such as an Author or Admin.
b) The submitter is logged in with a user account that has been flagged as “trusted” in the plugins manage page.
I just tried it on my test blog and if your not logged in, it won’t publish it.
Damnit, I’ve noticed two errors though, the message when you post says “Your download is now in our…” instead of “Your post is now…” and there is a missing period in the message.

Hi Mark. Thanks for the prompt reply. I nkow it should ony publish from these types of users but I find that (on my site) if you do not log in and go to the page http://www.airdrie.net/weblog2/guest-posts-form/
(which is where my form is) and fill in the form, it will automatically post your entry. Can you try this and let me know what you find? Thanks.
Administrator
November 23rd, 2006 at 2:36 pm
When I go to the page I see this message “You do not currently have permissions to use this form. If this is an error please contact admins.”
What User Level did you set “Who can access the form”? You have to set it to -1 to allow anyone to use the form.
Guest
November 23rd, 2006 at 3:23 pm
Sorry Mark. I think my details were still in the cache . When I tried it on another PC it works. I have re-set the user level to 1 to allow anyone to use the form. Many thanks.

Hi,
Your plugin is so close to what I’d really like/need for a site I am doing. I was wondering though if the allowing users/subscribers/whatever to edit their post could be added/integrated?
I would be willing to paypal you a few bucks ($20?) if you can help me get this all working.
I need it so that user submits post, I pick its category and mark it as live. Person that published post (either now as a real WordPress user, or by giving the correct password or something) can edit the post without going into the WordPress admin.
Let me know if you can help.
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
Allowing users/submitters to edit their posts was one of those big features I wasn’t planning to do for a while. I can turn around small bug fixes very quickly but I need some time before I start implementing any of the big features. Too much other stuff on my plate. I’d love to take your money, but my web host won’t allow it either. If you can wait a few weeks, I will get around to it.
In the meantime, how would you imagine it being implemented? A “code” of some description sent to the submitter for posts submitted by non-users/guests or some mechanism to allow users “claim” posts and then edit them? In my prototype code, I had some template functions that you had to add to the single template to allow editing. This is probaly still the best method I think.

Thanks Ben.
Robert, how do you know that anonymous users are automatically being published? If your logged in and you use the form, your posts *will* be automatically published. If you go to the form, check for a message like this, just under the main text box or email field:
(You are logged in as admin)
If you see a message like this, you are using the form logged in. Make sure you log out first.
Mark

Mark, I know anonymous users are able to post because I am testing the script with 4 different browsers. I am only logged in with firefox. The other 3 browsers, I am not logged in to my blog.
I have tried various settings but it’s still not working for me. I am not sure what I’m doing wrong (or not doing).
I really like your script to and I would really appreciate any help you may offer.
Like I said…I want anybody to be able to submit a posting but I want to moderate it before being published on the site. Is that possible with your script? if so, how do I configure it?
thanks Mark.

November 29th, 2006 at 9:01 am
Hi robert, the plugin is meant to do exactly that!
did you change the “default author” setting? What is it set to and what are the rights of that user?
I think there may be a bug where, if the default author has rights to post, and you recieve a post from anonymous, it gets assigned to that user who has rights to post. Then the plugin assumes that the post can be published.
I’ll check if this is the case on my test site.
Ben, eh, I don’t know. It should be right. Is the plugin activated? What version of Wordpress are you using? Have you tried the template function, tdomf_show_form()?
Administrator

Damn. There is a bug, if you post anonymousily but the user set as “default author” has rights to publish, then the post will be automatically published. Will update.

Hi Howard and Chris,
File upload (and download) is something I implemented on my prototype. What I did was, when someone used the form, they could upload to a “unclaimed” folder. When they then sent in the post, the file would move from unclaimed to claimed and the post would be linked with the file. If you delete the post, it would delete the file. If the post was not published, you couldn’t download the file. I guess, to have this feature you would need to have the option to have more than one upload, be able to configure what can be uploaded and size.
I know in Wordpress you can have “attachments” with posts using the normal UI but I don’t understand enough about that part of the Wordpress code.
You’ll have to wait a while for this feature I’m afraid though. It’s a biggie and need to take over the world first before I can get around to it.
Mark

Hi Marco,
I had original planned to put something like that in the first release, but never got around to it. For the moment, you can send it to all at a specific user level so if you wanted, you could use something like Wordpress RoleManager to create a role with a specific user level and assign any user that should recieve notifications to that role. I haven’t tried this myself.

shardz, when I follow the link, I see the form as I expect.
Thraxx , I followed the link and obviousily didn’t see the form. However I did check the source and I can see the javascript has been added correctly by the plugin. May I ask what other plugins you may have installed? As for the “foreach” errors… I’ll have a look here and get back to you. One thing I didn’t do was test the plugin on a fresh copy of wordpress.

Hi Lu,
I designed the plugin so that guests can’t publish posts directly. I’d strongly recommend against this as it could be used to do bad things(tm).
However, the previous version of the plugin 0.1 does allow it but I consider it a bug. You can grab the previous version of the plugin from http://thedeadone.net/wp-content/sw/Wordpress/tdomf_v0.1.zip
To get it to publish automatically guest posts, set the “default author” with rights to publish (i.e. make the user “author”). Then all guest posts will be automatically published. However this does not allow normal non-author users to automatically publish.
You can of course modify the code and I can provide details for this if you really want.

How about highlighting in the code for me to hack.. or a tutorial on it, to hold us over until the new version comes out. I am a newbie, so the more help the better.

Hi all,
Sorry, I’m just back from Christmass/New Years holidays so I’m only catching all your comments now.
Kees, I haven’t figured out how to do that exactly. Right now, using just the template tag, there is no way to know if the ajax script stuff needs to be in the header for that page or not. So it ends up being in the header of all files. If anyone knows how this should/can be done, please let me know?
Terry Heath, only 240 words? You don’t happen to know how many characters that is? I’ll look into it when I get the chance. There is no hard-coded limit, AFAIK.
Ash, I haven’t a clue. I assume your doing this on a windows box. I’ve only ever tested the plugin on unix boxes. I don’t think it has to do with IPs, something about the order of function declarations…
Steve, custom fields (if you know enough basic php and html) are easy to hack but will be hard to implement properly as part of the plugin. I’ll get back to you on some basic details on how to do it. Also, when I get around to the next version of the plugin, I will provide more customisation options.
BTW Happy new year to everyone.

I had the same issue as Ash ain a comment postedf on Dec 31st. The directory token for windows vs *nix screws things up.
In ManageMenu.php the pertinent code is:
function tdomf_show_manage_menu() {
global $wpdb;
$options_uri = “options-general.php?page=TDOMiniForms@slash@OptionsMenu.php”;
$our_uri = “edit.php?page=TDOMiniForms@slash@ManageMenu.php”;
$users_uri = “profile.php?page=TDOMiniForms@slash@ManageMenu.php”;
and in TODOMiniForms.php, the pertinent code is in function tdomf_show_menu_header.
@slash@ is just a token I use.It will be “/” in the orignial code. Replace @slash@ with \ for a windows box, and / for a *nix box.

Ah excellent Wyatt, thank you. I don’t have access to a windows setup so I wouldn’t have been able to catch that.
Mark, my plans are pretty nebulous for the moment. I don’t have internet access at home right now and I can’t afford to spend time in work on my website or this (or any) plugin. So until I can get access at home, I can’t do much. However my plan was to continue development of the plugin. A lot of people seemed to be interested in it. There has been a lot of shouting for file (or image) uploads so that will have to be one of the next set of features to do. When the storm settles here in work, I’ll post a proper update/plan for the plugin.

I love your plugin,
BUt I am trying to use it with wpmu not wp and everything works except if Iclick on the “users” tab in your plugin, then I get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tdomf_get_ips() in /var/www/web5/web/wp-content/plugins/TDOMiniForms/ManageMenu.php on line 8
any ideas how to get rid of that error?

A great plugin! One problem though for those using languages with accented characters. I translated all the messages and such and put header(”Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8″); into the header of the form.php
Everything is okay except when the form is sent.
The post itself (both title and text) is not sent as utf-8 and all accented and special characters are messed up.
Where and what would I put in the form-code to fix this: To send the inner html as utf-8 charset?
Best regards

On second thought why not let the plugin send the html in the default charset WP uses. In my case utf-8.
Plugin would check what encoding WP is using and sends the contents of the html form in the sam encoding.
Just a thought!

Nice plugin, but I can’t get it to work. I create a new page and put “” in the textbox. When I go to that page, NOTHING is there. Any ideas?
thanks

Hey, Great Plugin. I’m wondering though if there’s a way to only have the javascript in the header on the page of the form (I’m using a template), rather than on the entire site? Thanks, Ahni

Hi Ahni, it is something I plan to look at in the next version.

Great News Mark. I was going to try and remove it on my own, cuz I tested it and it works fine for my needs - but I will eagerly await the next version. thanks again.

hi Mark,
This is nice, although I had a couple problems.
First, it looks for “pluggable-functions.php”, but I have only “pluggable”. That seems to work.
Weirdly, when posting something from IE7 I get an alert that the page wants to run an MSXML script. that’s scary for the average user.
It’d also be nice to be able to turn on and off the name/email requirements. I may not need those at all, really.
Ultimately, I would really love to have tags included (I’m running Ultimate Tag Warrior). But that is probably a whole new level of complexity.
Nice start! Thanks for working on this.

Hi Greg,
Are you using the latest wordpress 2.1 or the previous versiion of wordpress 2.0.x. I haven’t yet updated/tested the plugin on wp 2.1… first thing on my list. I suspect that’s the “pluggable” option.
The MSXML is the AJAX stuff I guess. I haven’t tested myself under IE. Thats something else to work on.
As for tags. YEp, I want tags too!
In my prototype it was integrated with Ultimate Tag Warrior, so potentially it’s possible.
I’m getting more time now and I have a few website housekeeping stuff to do… but I’ll soon be able to start work on the next version of TDOMF!

Hey Mark:
I could really use this plugin with the ability to add custom fields. Could modify it for me if I pay you? If so, can you say how much you’d charge me?
Thanks - Michael

I’m with Michael. I may be interested in splitting the cost with Michael, though it will have to work for WP2.1.
I will need the ability to add custom fields and
image upload to the front-end form.
please let me know if you are interested and if michael is interested, please send him my email address.
thanks,
eric

Is there anyway to a another field to the form? I would like to have a field for readers to put a URL in. Unfortunately I am stupid when it comes to PHP, so I can’t do it myself. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Mark, great work on this plugin!
I’m with just about everyone else on the extra options. Most notably, image upload and custom fields. I’d be willing to put some money down with everyone else to help speed this up.
Also is there a way to get your beta version and keeing it updated as you go on this site? If so please send an email my way. I’d be willing to work on some experimental stuff.
Thanks.

Micheal, Eric, Ryan, etc.
I’d love to take your money but as I’ve stated earlier in comments, I can’t just stick a paypal button on the page. Also it’d be a bit unfair because I haven’t actually done any coding/real work on TDOMF version 0.3 yet. This is a hobby for me and my time is stretched (my wife is expecting number two btw).
I have been doing some research into various features however. My current “roadmap” is to first get it compatible with Wordpress 2.1. Then fix and tidy up the plugin such as getting rid of the javascript in every header, better customisation options, windows compatibility and code layout. After that then it’s adding custom fields. File uploading will be last I’m afraid. There are few issues with that, that I haven’t ironed out yet conceptual.
Please continue to leave any feature-requests, feedback or bugs as comments.

Hi Jocke Dieden, I’m afraid it’s a known bug of the latest release, that it does not work on WP2.1. I haven’t yet fixed it. Is first on my list however.
