Auto publish user-submitted drafts

  • I’m using TDOminiforms plugin to let my users post from the main page.
    Problem is i have to approve every post myself.

    Generally i trust my users, so i would like to have the option to let posts be published with no approval. can anyone suggest a way to do this?

    my three ideas are
    a) hack the plugin to let user make posts rather than drafts.
    b) auto login – each person that visits the site is automatically logged-in as a user with posting permissions.
    (without bugging the user though – no login process)
    c) a cron job script to approve all drafts

    ofcourse, i would be glad if someone could shed some light about how do i get any of those idea to happen:)

    OK. the TDO Mini Forms plugin has a file named Form.php (not editable via wordpress admin, need to access the file through FTP).
    On line 215, change ‘draft’ to ‘publish’, and all post will be published automatically, no need to approve manually.

    Have fun,

    I’d recommend using the latest version of TDO Mini Forms where you can optionally turn off moderation to automaticlaly publish. Not an idea I like, but people wanted it so I implemented.
