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.

Glad to hear it’s working and thanks for letting know…
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…
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.
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…

Although I’m still not ‘tweetin’ I do see it’s potential for promoting the fan-tas-tic project, once it’s finished.
And in my search to do this I stumbled across this article: 10 Exceptional WordPress Hacks. And I noticed a remark in the comments section (#12) about using the built-in default WordPress URL-structure instead of TinyUrl or any other third party service.
I was triggered immediately (comment #25) because I am considering to implement a ‘(re)tweet this’ feature and my options until now were automated TinyUrl’s or a ShortUrl plugin.

it is great but there is no tacking funtion in this simple trick but it is a simple trick.
of course it is possible to create a tracking system with wordpress alone….. if someone does it he got a killer fore sure….
Very useful tip! Thanks a lot 
And here’s a plugin with some extra’s:

Probably worth trying out…
You won’t have a nifty tracking function this way, indeed.
However, my theory is, that you shouldn’t care if you’re successful and that’s it’s not worth tracking if you have only a few trackbacks
Tim and 5 others are discussing.

Ah, what the hell… after adding all that my admin gives me a blank page. :S
Ragnar 6:29 pm on May 22, 2009 Permalink |
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.

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!!

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!

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 10:58 pm on November 10, 2009 Permalink |
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…

No problem!

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