[wp-hackers] Frontend form

[Diana K. Cury]

Thanks for reply Eric,

I will test some more and post the code soon. The most strange is if I add 
the form and form processing code after template calls (get_header, sidebars 
etc), I get the "headers already sent", (both for page templates or 
shortcode insertion). It seems something to do with template header itself.

The processing code should stay before all the html header, or not really 
necessary?! If so, that will be a lot of filterings for get the shortcode 
feature done.

Quite not sure if I should implemente this in my plugin...is an one time use 
form, a shortcode maybe aren't the best aproach for this isn't?!
