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.

On the previous message, I’ve tried to do this on various computers and the same thing happens. I’m using WP 2.1.

I tried it today and everything seems to be working but then I go to the administration side and administer the “draft” post. In the custom fields, I have the information inlcuded like Author Email, Name Web Page. Then I try to update/delete the custom field information (in the “Action” column) and after clicking to update or delete, I get a message:
Error 403
We’re sorry, but we could not fulfill your request for …wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=27&message=2#postcustom on this server.

Hi Korn, it does?
That is very weird. It’s been working fine on the demo site. What browser are you using?

Just a quick comment to say that I’ve cracked the two open bugs. I’ve updated the plugin so it should work on window servers and allow very long posts. These fixes will be included in version 0.4, coming soon…

Hi Patung, yea it’s on the books. It’s easy enough to change to take the code out of the header and only included in the page. Alternately I could put the javascript in a js file and just include it in the header. This would keep it yo a minimum too.
Hi AJ, there is one big hurdle in porting to windows… I don’t have the resources to setup a Windows server with PHP and wordpress to test it. However Wyatt’s comment details the fix but I don’t know how to make it programmatic (i.e. where you doesn’t need to modify the code). The last release was just to port the code to latest wordpress, which was what most ppl were screaming for. The fact that it doesn’t work on windows should have zero impact on your users, only on running the plugin on your windows server. I’m using the plugin, as a user, from windows with no problems.
