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.

Is there a way to disable the custom fields from being published automatically?
During testing, I will edit a submission from the form, delete the custom fields, but they still appear in the final published post.

My apologies. I accidently downloaded 2.0.10RC1 and “upgraded” that! So I’m sure that was the issue

Hmm. Ok. Are you using the latest version of PHP5? You should definitly have DIRECTORY_SEPERATOR. Check your include path in PHP.ini? (ref).

Sounds like a problem with 2.1.3RC1. I can’t imagine they would take away the constants ABSPATH and WPINC… would they?

Howdy. I was just testing 2.1.3RC1 and your plugin (v.4) threw these errors:
Warning: main(/…wp-includes/pluggable.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /…/wp-content/plugins/TDOMiniForms/Form.php on line 7
Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘…/wp-includes/pluggable.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in …/wp-content/plugins/TDOMiniForms/Form.php on line 7
I haven’t had time to investigate, but thought you might like to know. By the way, cool plugin, I’ve been using it on my site, much easier than having people submit via contact form.

I use php 5
If I put a / in instead of a \ it doesn’t work. this is possibly a windows thing.
