Form field templates

[SteveX]

Just starting this now, cos I'm pretty sure it will come up later.

The tables used by the core present problems when a different framework is used. Nothing insurmountable, but definitely a long hard climb. (the forms in bootstrap are the best bit imo, so the climb is maybe worthwhile?)

I have the admin panel, forms etc bootstrapped as skin template overrides (overrides all the jrCore form fields, admin, everything, but did that back in beta of jr5 and bootstrap 3). It worked then (in most places), but man does it look a mess.

Full overrides are definitely necessary (or not at all) because of the tables used in the forms etc in jrCore. Those layout tables (on pages which have a form in them) can make life very difficult if you try to go against them.

I reckon that's going to be hard to maintain. It probably deserves its own separate skin and github repo if it was attempted.

If we can achieve the complete separation of elements then it could be maintained individually.

• admin area
• forms
• profiles
• front end
