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, 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…

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

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!

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…

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.

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…
