Thank you. It works great now.

Same here.

I tried the fix.php script. It ran successfully but did not solve. Don’t have time to troubleshoot today so i reverted to Beta 3 which can be found on the Developers tab.

I would definitely rate this as a must-have plugin.

Fantastic work inapan!

Thank you so very much inapan.

The solutions you provided have fixed every issue i was having, and thanks for noticing the (very slight) conflict with the SP Authors plugin.

Still a bit confused on that. (sent an email)

Are you saying to add
/?page_id=3988′ (Widget page)
or
‘/?page_id=3805/’ (Forum page)
in place of ‘/wptest/forum/test-forum’ ?

And, do i still do the first hack?

Also, when i edit quick-post-widget.php (tried 3 different editors) WP disables the plugin with an invalid plugin header error. Likely something i am doing wrong, but i have successfully hacked several other plugins.

Thank you i will give that a try right now.

I am using a custom page template for the forum based on page.php, and another custom page template for my submission form based on page-with-sidebar.php so there should be no further conflicts. The widget, which i use for user submitted gaming video, will only display on the sidebar of page with the accompanying instructions.

I must say here that it has been a long and bothersome search for a simple, elegant, and highly customizable plugin to accept user submissions. This is exactly the plugin that i and my staff have been waiting for as it fits our workflow perfectly.

Thank you. The Excerpt field input works perfectly with the ability to add a custom label.

Sadly, i am getting js errors which cause the Visual Editor to break. And, when the plugin is installed the TinyMCE editor in my Simple:Press Forum breaks. You both have the same philosophy regarding the use of WP’s built in js libraries but i can’t seem to get both versions of TinyMCE working at the same time (WP’s TinyMCE editor works fine).

On my site the Excerpt is more important than both the title and description. Is there any chance one of these additional fields will be for the Excerpt?

I don’t know how safe this is but add a .htaccess file (using FTP) with the following code into the WP folder.

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_value short_open_tag 1
</IfModule>

Easy. Just name your new background bodybg.jpg and drop it into the theme’s images folder. You should make a backup of the original bodybg.jpg first. Try to make your image the same size as the original for use on larger monitors, and use a darker image with no bright spots.

This is the site i am developing with a highly modified motion theme.

Sorry, I forgot to mention this.

With the User Role Editor plugin make sure the Editor role has the ‘edit_others_posts’ capability enabled. When this is selected all Author’s names, including yours, displays as a dropdown list in the Add/Edit Posts area (it ignores subscribers).

Note:

“creating an Author account for each Author using a dummy email for each”

You may use dummy email accounts (dummy77@superhappymail.cob), but each dummy email account must be unique.

I had a similar situation with my site.

What i ended up doing is turning ‘Anyone can register’ off in Settings/General. Then creating an Author account for each Author using a dummy email for each. The process took less than 2 hours with 130 Authors by copy ‘n pasting their information from a spreadsheet. (I also disabled the ‘Send this password to the new user by email.’ on the Add New User page.)

Then, defined different levels of Authors with with the User Role Editor plugin. Silver Author accounts are controlled by the site’s admins, and Gold Author accounts are controlled by the Author.

The Gold Author accounts are allowed to create new articles, but are not allowed to publish them. That function is reserved for the site’s admins alone. The article shows as a Draft which must then be published by an admin.

This allows you to utilize every Author function and Plugin available (the SP Authors plugin allows multiple Authors on a single post), while maintaining control of all Authors. If, at a point in the future, one of your Authors joins your staff all you have to do is promote them to Gold Author status with a single mouse click.

This was done entirely with plugins and no additional programming was required.

Thank you. I will try that.

Will you be supporting the JW Player for HTML5 when it arrives this summer? (It is in BETA now)

Also, is there any way to support capabilities so the Add Video by ProPlayer window only displays the URL, Width & Height fields for my writers, while displaying all fields for Admins? I don’t want them messing with the other settings.
