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.

hello,
I have been using your plugin since version 0.1 and with each version I had to manuall correct some invalid html
I just thought I’d mention this, so maybe you can fix it once and for ever…
I’ll go ahead now and try to validate your demopage and send you the needed fixes.
1.
the attribute id is set twice!
2.
checked must be replaced by checked=”checked” and the end tag is missing, insert
/after the checked stuffI hope these are all for now…

I’m sure it’s been mentioned but it would be cool if the user could embed YouTube videos or something like Viper’s Video Quicktags. Thanks and keep up the great work!

Hi Pawal, those polish characters seemed to work fine on the demo site. See here!

Hi pawel, what version of the plugin are you using? With version 0.5 I fixed a problem where Chinese characters were getting mangled when you post. This was due to the way AJAX incorrectly encoded the text for passing to Wordpress.
Could you try posting some polish characters using the demo site?

Hi there! This plugin is really good idea, its feature is very useful for the site im working on. Unfortunately, theres a problem i was completly unable to solve. I use ISO-8859-2 encoding for polish lang in WP, but every post submitted via TDOMiniForms has polish letters messed.
cheers

Ah. As of version 0.3, I ported to wordpress 2.1.2. I’m not planning on supporting older versions of wordpress. It’s bad enough having to support windows *and* unix hosts!

hurray,I figured it out! Testing the script on another WP install (both using wp 2.0.5 btw) an error showed saying it can’t find /wp-includes/pluggable.php
So at the top of form.php I changed pluggable.php to pluggable-functions.php and now it works like a charm (unless that interferes with something?
Either way, people have been unexpectedly sending me stuff to post lately, well now they can have their own category and submission form, hehehe)
Cheers, Ahni.

Hi Ahni, I don’t know. I’ve tried it on the demo site with the latest version and not a bother. Have you tried the demo site with your current configuration?
Does it work okay while logged in with a user account?

poop. For some reason, everytime I click send (while logged out) a message shows up saying “undefined.” am I doing something wrong?
