AZIndex: sort groupheader URL
Like the TDO mini form plugin the AZIndex is an incredible powerful plugin…but also lacks a certain feature, which would make it just perfect: URL’s for the header, the subheaders are grouped by.

Don’t believe the hype of Gridservice
The MediaTemple Grid-service “is a cluster-based, modern hosting service powered by hundreds of servers working in tandem to power your websites, applications and email with unrivaled power, burstability and reliability”.
Sounds great, doesn’t it?
Background story
I’ve just recently moved to MediaTemple and at this moment my following sites are hosted with (mt): aytemir.com (that would be this blog), fan-tas-tic.com and VoetbalPortaal.com.
All three sites have very humble amount of traffic to handle and are Wordpress or vBulletin powered, with some standard popular plugins or mods.
Nothing fancy. Nothing special.

Hi, for a project I’m working on, I have almost identical issues at Mediatemple as you have.
I put a complaint at their helpdesk about the bad performance of their grid service (GS) and they point the finger to me, or te be more specific, the code I wrote.
On the MT forum, there are more people having major issues with the GS, so I think it’s time to move on to another provider.

Fan-tas-tic! User Generated Galleries
It took me longer than foreseen, but after a couple of different approaches there is a final alpha version of my fan-tas-tic project. Although still in a alpha stage, I think a soft launch with this post is a logical move prior to a beta version: behold FAN-TAS-TIC! User Generated Galleries.
WTF is FTT!
FTT! is actually designed and developed as a pure personal project: a fantastic image gallery, with ‘fantastic’ covering the genres science-fiction, (heroic) fantasy/sword & sorcery, gothic, horror, anime and the quality of the art self displayed at the gallery.
So…yet another gallery?
Supervisually yes…it’s nothing more than just another gallery.
However some of the features what should make FTT! really unique compared to other galleries are: (More …)

TDO Mini Forms: upload path/URL mini hack
The TDO Mini Forms Wordpress Plugin is simply one of these plugins you’ll end up using, when you’ll be using WordPress for more than ‘just another blog’.
For my upcoming project I was looking for a fully customizable end user form and after having tried a bunch, TDO mini forms was simply the best.
I still don’t understand why it is called ‘mini’ because it has a ton of options and almost all of them very useful.

Thanks a lot, dude. Prolly can put it to use, too, now. ^^

Ragnar
Ah, what the hell… after adding all that my admin gives me a blank page. :S
-
Ragnar
Okay, never mind, I got my admin page back… but the code doesn’t seem to work… added all these new thing right where supposed to but TDO still uploads it to some id folder.

4th comment here, hello!
Sorry, but got it working fine, everything is perfect, I just messed up stuff myself. Thanks a lot for this great tutorial! -
Derek
I have had great success with TDO Mini Forms and your mini hacks have been of tremendous help. One thing I am seeking is how to use TDO Mini Forms with video options. Wondered if you might had an ideas on what I may be able to try.
Thanks!!

Tim
People who want to use this (for example) when using a post form for unregistered users: be careful!
If the post is rejected (deleted) by an administrator (at the ‘moderation’), the whole folder of that specific month is emptied… see what I’m saying? Careful.
Just a tip. Good hack though!

admin
Tim, thanks for the warning…I wasn’t aware of this, obliviously.
I’ll test this and implement your suggestion and will come back to you…

admin
Shit…you’re right,I’m seeing it only now: at http://fan-tas-tic.com, where I implemented the hack, I’ve already deleted all other images in the same folder with the one I only wanted to delete!
Thanks for the warning…

Tim
No problem!

Suggestion in this case
$postdir = $options['path'].$yearID.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$monthID.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$post_ID;

hii…every one…i just wanna ask how to make a submission form like for sample…downarchive.com…that another or registered users can submit their download to our site??
can we hack TDO mini Form tobe like it??
sorry for my bad english…
thanks for helping…
Tschai
Glad to hear it’s working and thanks for letting know…
Tschai
Do you want to upload these video files to your own server or do you just want to refer to some external (youtube, vimeo) URL’s?
The latter should be very easy.
The first option might require some hacking…
Derek
I was attempting to upload vids to my own server and then embed them in a post.
That’s where I am having the problem, videos upload fine just can’t get them to display.
Tschai
If you’re able to upload the video and retrieve the URL generated by TDO forms, than from here your problem is a general issue and not TDO mini form related anymore.
You probably need the right plugin to show the video, depending on the format of your video.
Have you tried something like this one http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/embedded-video-with-link/, which seems to support almost any format? If you’re able getting the full URL/path, this should do the trick for you…

Fan-tas-tic progress and issues
Although the fan-tas-tic project is making good progress, I’m running to some issues which slows down the overall progress: This post is a short status update.
Issue 1: Internet Explorer still sucks.
Even version 7. And I have no high expectations for IE8, no matter how many tests it’ll pass.
I had to tweak a lot of CSS code just to make sure IE7 doesn’t screw up my layout, although it was fine enough in FF and Chrome.

A fan-tas-tic start of 2009!
http://designwithathought.com/?p=339" class="alignleft"/>
As stated in my post Setting goals for 2009 I’ll try to post only about the projects I’m working on…from now on. And I have to admit it’s hard not to blog, rant or rave about anything else.
Because there is actually a lot to blog, rant and rave about. For example this blog now has reached a Pagerank of 2 in 3 months, but so did my sleeping site Uppedd.com, which never had any content at all…and this is a big mystery to me.

Setting goals for 2009
Looking back at 2008
Playtime is over! I’ve used the past period to experiment with some forms of promoting my posts and trying to get more traffic. Although the results were satisfying as you can see in the graph above, it felt more like ‘work’ than ‘hobby’ for me. Because doing this is rather time and energy consuming. And that is not a good thing…if you’re not making money from it, that is!
The above graph illustrates the short period from October until end December for this blog. And it’s no surprise that it’s possible to get a peak of visitors and views, no matter how humble your blog or post is. But to keep this visitors coming back you need to invest a lot in time and energy…but I’m gonna focus on other things instead.
Setting goals for 2009
While reading My Internet Goals for 2009 I found out writing your goals down works very therapeutic and very refreshing. Although very personal it can be interesting and inspiring for others too.
