And another release of TDO Mini Forms is out the door!


Yep. 0.13.2 is out today. See the (new and improved wordpress 2.8) changelog for details of whats in this release.

I have to apologise for my lack of responses on the numerous support requests. I’m about a month behind but I will get through them, so hang on! :) Life, work and my other hobby projects are all overloaded these days.

Ahhhh! v0.13 escapes with editing functionality!


You can grab the latest version of tdo-mini-forms from Wordpress.org right now!

I’m sure within minutes the internet will collapse but I’ve finally got it done. v0.13 adds the ability to edit posts and has improved moderation screen. I say that with a big sigh because there is still a lot to do to finish off the backend, improve the post editing and finally tackle the long list of bugs that has accumulated, but with this version at least you can start to play with editing.

Enjoy! And any issues report them to the support forums or even try out twitter (hashtag #tdomf).

Please keep in mind that this plugin is free and any support I provide is also free. If you found it useful you can show your appreciation via a small donation or buying me a book!

Grab a beta release of TDO Mini Forms, if you dare!


I’ve been testing TDO Mini Forms (a Wordpress plugin) on a live server for a few days now. Spam protection seems to work, which is great. I only have two things left to do before I do an official release: update the readme.txt and update the ReCapatcha widget to work with the editing form.

But to get people going, you can download a beta now from the development branch.

I’ve also been sucked into twitter! @thedeadone – I will be “tweeting” (is that the right verb?) using the hashtag #tdomf anything relevant to TDO Mini Forms. (’tdomf’ is the tag I’ve always used to tag stuff relevant to TDO Mini Forms online).

Any comments and feedback welcome, but don’t expect major changes before the next release (which should be very soon!). Thank you.

Please keep in mind that this plugin is free and any support I provide is also free. If you found it useful you can show your appreciation via a small donation or buying me a book!

ReCaptcha, Excerpts, Comment Management and Default Tags! Here is version 0.12.5 of TDO-Mini-Forms


Version 0.12.5 of the my Wordpress plugin TDO-Mini-Forms has just been made available. (It may just take a few minutes as I’ve just committed to the Wordpress.org SVN).

This version adds four new widgets:

  • An Excerpt Widget – allows submitters to supply their own excerpt
  • Comments Management Widget – enable/disable comments and pings for posts submitted from this form and even allow users to chose if they wish to enable comments
  • ReCaptcha Widget – it’s been asked for so many times. This integrates the ReCaptcha service into your forms to help fight spam
  • Subscribe-to-Comments Widget – this widget integrates with the ever-popular Subscribe-to-Comments 2.1 plugin to allow submitters be automatically subscribed to followup comments via email

Also these widgets were updated:

  • Category Widget: Include Field enabled and a sort (and sort by) option added
  • Tag Widget: Now includes options for default tags, required tags and even disabling user adding tags.

There are a few other little updates which you can check out on the Version Log. I still have quite number of entries in my Work Queue left but I’m planning to move on and look at post editing, the last big big feature. I think now is a good time to do it rather than spend so much effort adding little features and with Wordpress 2.6 revision history feature now in full operation, allowing users to edit posts should be a dream.

Don’t forget, this plugin is free, however if you found it useful you can show your appreciation via a small donation or buying me a book!

Status of TDO-Mini-Forms


I managed to get through all the support requests on the local forums and on wordpress.org with regards the TDO Mini Forms plugin. So along with that and what I had planned it seems I have my work cut out for me. The good news is that TDOMF required no updates for Wordpress 2.6.x.

TDO Mini Forms Wordpress Plugin (v0.13.3)


Download now from Wordpress.org!

Requires at least Wordpress v2.7.1 and tested up to Wordpress v2.8.1.

This plugin allows you to add highly customisable forms that work with your Wordpress Theme to your website that allows non-registered users and/or subscribers (also configurable) to submit and edit posts and pages. New posts are kept in "draft" until an admin can publish them (also configurable). Likewise edits can be kept be automatically kept as revisions until an admin approves them. It can optionally use Akismet to check if submissions and contributions are spam. TDO Mini Forms can be used to create "outside-the-box" uses for Wordpress, from Contact Managers, Ad Managers, Collaborate Image Sites, Submit Links, etc.

TDO Mini Forms has been used to turn Wordpress into a Forum, Contact Manager!

The plugin provides an extensive moderation view so administrators and editors can see posts and edits 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 and edits.

Administrators can configure the forms 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.

Registered users have access to a "Your Submissions" page which lists their current submissions and edits awaiting approval and links to their approved submissions.
