[Plugin: Quick Post Widget] WPMU qpw

Heya, great work man!

Been playing around with it, trying to get it to work outside sidebars, and ive come up with a halfway solution, but its kinda iffy and i was wondering if maybe you could hook us up with some easier solution.

The problem i encounter is that the visual editor and publish functions dont work unless the widget is activated on sub-blogs.

i’ve taken the html it prints and edited it to work with a nice slideToggle button located in index.php(pretty much just rewrites of the html urls so the html works on diff users through the same lines of code. Its all being called by a simple jquery)
, with widget activated but hidden through css.

This WORKS on the different sub-blogs on a wpmu install, but it is a pain in the a** to make a widget be activated by default without shortcodes in sidebar.php.

(also – trying to make sure users dont have to “rig” all these kinds of features themselves)

*Made sure the owners of the blogs and superadmins are the only ones who can use and see the “quick post” by adding
<?php if( current_user_can( ‘level_10’ ) ) : ?>
else
endif bla bla

*added button w/jquery effects that shows and hides the quick post box, 100% css style-friendly.

Your quick post is EXCELLENT, its one of those features one can wonder why isnt already build-in with wordpress.
But it gets kinda limited by being restricted to an all-around visible widget.
Inapan, hook us up with a way of enabling qpw without using it as a widget please! a shortcode would be lovely!
That feature will turn your plugin into something really wpmu-friendly.

Its really good work, and i wanna help! Ive already written some stuff for it. Afaik, none of the existing quick-post plugins have the capability described. Waddya say? =)
