Dear Ryan, I think that the way you've created the interface to the more exotic field types in the Admin back end is really great. I'd like to be able to use any or all of those fields on the front end, via the API, more easily, based on a clear and simple set of notes and possible division of .js and .css files per field. For example, to get the calendar popup working in edit mode, in a front end app, I had to include these files in the <head> section of my pages: <link type='text/css' href='/site/templates-admin/styles/JqueryUI/JqueryUI.css' rel='stylesheet' /> <link type='text/css' href='/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldDatetime/InputfieldDatetime.css?v=103' rel='stylesheet' /> <script type='text/javascript' src='/wire/modules/Jquery/JqueryCore/JqueryCore.js?v=183'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='/wire/modules/Jquery/JqueryUI/JqueryUI.js?v=192'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='/wire/modules/Jquery/JqueryWireTabs/JqueryWireTabs.js?v=103'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldDatetime/InputfieldDatetime.js?v=103'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldDatetime/jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js'></script> To get the multi-column checkboxes working in edit mode, I had to include this <div> in my edit form: <ul class='Inputfields'> ... input field here ... </ul> and then I copied a variety of CSS classes from your core code into my main css file. I'd like to be able to use the image upload field with the progress bar, and many of the other specialized fields that you've created, that require special javascript or css to run properly. My suggestion is to create js and css files per field -- or field family, that can be easily included, without extra weight from other items, with notes on each field, e.g. - for xyz field, include these .js and .css files, and add this xyz html to your edit template (if necessary) This would allow developers to *easily* use the full power of the admin fields in front-end edits, which would be a truly glorious thing. Thanks! Peter
