[Typo3-dev] FE edit concepts

[Daniel Thomas]

Hello together,

I spend some time trying out a few things with regard to the general 
purpose FE-Edit concepts I have been speaking about.
What about a frontend-plugin for which you define a couple of 
TS-parameters and the table you want to edit and off you go? I made a 
few first steps. Its fairly easy to get all the information about the 
fields of the table from the TCA and access the create, edit, delete 
paradigm of the fe_adminLib for the straightforeward fields like input, 
select, text ...

I see three main areas for such an application:
1. validation of input
2. workflow integration with backend
3. diverse problems

Validation:
I think validation would need to be based on the eval information 
already given the TCA. Additionally, I think validation would need to 
be done by JavaScript. That would be elegant and best from the 
userperspective. In the end, this would mean to replicate the 
TBE_EDITOR_... JavaScript parts of the backend for the frontend. I am 
not that experienced with JavaScript controll functionality. If someone 
would like to support me there, it would be greatly appreciated.

Workflow:
new entries should be publishable through the taskmanager. I will try 
to do something in that direction and get back with more ideas.

problems
how to deal with all those entry-wizards which are definitely not 
accessible in the frontend?

Greetings
Daniel
