But frog is missing the really nice feature of pureedit to edit data from your mysql table. So i just started coding a plugin that will give you the option (a bit like phpmyadmin and typo3) to list your tables and add, edit and delete rows. The idea is to add the tables that you would like to edit in the settings pane. When you use the plugin in the backend you will get a dropdown to select a table and click go to start editing. The fields of the tables (stole the idea from pureedit) are prefixed by the type they should be viewed in the edit and add options. For example: title_txt (will ben an textfield) body_txtbox (will be an textarea) attach_file (will be an browse button and have an option to view the attachment) etc etc Now my question was before i invent it again, is there already plugin like this? And if not, are people interested in such a plugin? Greetings Gijs

I expect people that want to edit table data directly have simply been using phpMyAdmin to this point. And if not, are people interested in such a plugin? My first thought is that it might allow some editing of page-part names which is something one user wants to do. There may well be other uses, too. If you’ve found uses for it on other platforms, then perhaps its availability would enhance working with Frog! IMO, of course… :) What do others think? Could this be a step towards “custom fields”…?
