I just added <input name=”cat” type=”hidden” value=”**put your cat id here**” />

To my form. Very simple.

300+ sites all live, all functioning beautifully and being enjoyed by people.

I don’t have users.

Because we can. ?? All sites do they same thing and we want the data all together, and this is much easier to maintain. Can you imagine trying to manage 100 databases?

Its a fairly customized setup, which doesn’t rely on WPMU. Its not for necessarily reselling blogs etc…but more for running multiple similar sites off a single installation and database. There are a few different ways to do it depending on your needs. You can contact me at [email protected]

Most of it works, but it won’t accept a change in the category.

I figured this one out, just did a quick if else PHP.

Yeah I don’t really understand why WP is setup the way it is and doesn’t have that open built in. I set up a form in one of my themed pages that created a draft post, creates an user who is a contributer, assigns the post to that user and sets the category based on what they also selected. I also use a post rating plugin that is incorporated and I also run 80 some sites off of a single WP installation and database.

If anyone is interested I have done this for some sites I run. It does a ton more stuff too including creating a contributing user and assigning the post to that user, assigning categories etc…all within my theme. All I have to do is review it and Publish.

Someone should know how to write a PHP form that will enter information into the post database table that I could use in my blog.

I am having the same issue, but with another function. IE is not properly passing or using the $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]. FF does it fine, so it is not something related to antivirus or firewall or anything like that, just specific to IE6. Anyone know a different variable that IE will recognise or the specific thing within IE that either enables or disables that?

pretty please

Dan,
I want this exact same feature. I want to be able to post from the blog and not the admin area. Because I don’t want vistors to have to register to make a Post. I am not writing any posts as the admin, I want visitors to write posts, but not register.

Currently I have a custom page where they can write a comment to a category called New Posts and then I copy and paste that information in the admin area to the Write Post page. Pain. I just want them to be able to write the post themselves. Anyone know how to create a blog page that will do this. I have heavily customized my site and hacked virtually every function, just want to figure this one out.

Same problem here. I am guessing it is something wrong in WordPress, i.e. it is a bug.
