 * I’m confused about these two. The documentation encourages use of wpdadataforms
   but I must be using it wrong.
 * If I use wpdadiehard I can select column filter and I get in-line editing. And
   the edit page is full sized. If I user wpdadataforms I can select the number 
   of rows I can display and the edit dialog is a pop-up but much smaller. My user
   cares as there are a lot of large text fields.
 * Both have separate styles but that’s not as big a problem as the other differences.
 * What am I doing wrong? Misunderstanding?
 * Thanks

 * Hi Charles,
 * >>> If I use wpdadiehard I can select column filter and I get in-line editing.
 * This is not yet available for Data Forms. Sorry! I have to add it. This is on
   my to do list.
 * >>> If I user wpdadataforms I can select the number of rows I can display and
   the edit dialog is a pop-up but much smaller.
 * You can style your popup. But it is probably better to wait. Project Templates
   will be extended to support more advanced styling features. I already wanted 
   to have that implented, but it is taking more time than expected.
 * Shortcode wpdadataforms does not have the limitations wpdadiehard has. That is
   why using that shortcode is encouraged. If you need specific features not yet
   available with wpdadataforms, you can use wpdadiehard. Since both shortcodes 
   are using the same Data Projects settings, you will not need to make any changes
   to a project when switching your shortcode.
 * Hope this helps,
    Peter

 * Thanks. I’ll wait and work with what’s available. This particular situation is
   for internal admin use so I may just offer them a choice of pages.
