I modified quick-press-widget to allow anonymous posting (without registering, added a captcha) and include the form in a page instead of in the sidebar (comments are in french, ask if you need a translation)

My answer :

I still nedd to activate the plugin AND to register the widget in the sidebar for this to work.
I would like to 'dewidgetize it' : include the plugin file in my functions.php so I don't need to set the widget in the sidebar and activate the plugin.

Do you know which lines I have to copy to functions.php, wich ones I can erase ?

Thanks for sharing !

But now I couldn't tell you when. Sorry. I have so much work to do. And I know it's a long time I haven't update the plugin. Sorry.

A last thing : I would like to help by translating your plugin, will you release a internalisable version or do I have to translate directly in the files ?

See ya !

Just one question : how can I apply a default category to the post ?
I tried to modify quick_press_widget.php (line 52) like this :

$TheCategoryIWant = 'wordpress';
$post_id = wp_insert_post( array(

'post_author' => $user_id,

'post_title' => $post_title,

'post_content' => $post_content,

'tags_input' => $tags,

'post_status' => 'publish',
'category_name' => $TheCategoryIWant

but i doesn't work. Any idea ?

Thanks

Thanks for a nice plugin.

I have put it on the front page of my Buddypress installation. However, it only seems to work for the site admin. All other users don't see the widget at all.

You write in the info that the plugin is compatible with Buddypress, so it's probably me doing something wrong. Could you help me fix this?

It would also be useful to have a approval system so new submissions can be screened.

You can look at line 44 of quick_press_widget.php. Maybe you can try to change 'publish_posts' to 'edit_posts' to let Contributors can post.

And you can visit this Codex Page:

to find out more informations.

Thank you for your visited.

can the "other authors" see and use this widget as well?

perfect.
