 * 1. I was wondering, how hard would it be 🙂 to make it so I could add front-end
   editing, So my client could select one of the fields from a page showing the 
   table layout and update that field with out going to the backend…
 * 2. Also How could I make it so I could show filters on the table layout, really
   the same way you have it on the submission data tab, but on a front-end page 
   would be ideal…
 * Thanks for any thoughts or solutions on this…

 * You could make a custom summary template, but this would be ugly for a table,
   since you would have to output the table header and footer manually within the
   post. The other option is CSS for the table.
 * I’ll add filters for the table output in the next major version though, this 
   is something I had been meaning to do anyway.

 * by ugly Im guessing you mean the code to pull it off, I already pulling the table
   in to a page and style it, that part is easy it has the table header and footer
   automatically .
 * I also got a login system to work so only some folks can update, ond others can
   read, its just buggy too have them edit and go all the way to the back-end and
   deal with the complex navigation that it gets to be, then the client that is 
   updating is going to be a secretary that might delete more that they should etc……
 * I found this plugin Front-end Editor that works great except it wont work on 
   the form I guess because of the way its pulled in, you know on the summery page
   how you can edit the data there, couldn’t I show that on a front end page and
   just style it?
 * I will keep looking and playing with it, I will let you know if I get anywhere..
 * also I’m glad to here your doing a filter system that will be fab….

 * I’m also trying to get editing through the front end. I see that using the “user
   profile” style of form this functionality is already there. However, I need it
   to work on the “default” style that allows multiple records through the same 
   form. Is this possible?
 * (excellent plug in btw!)

 * I would have to redesign the way the plugin is structured for this to work. I
   am working on that, though. This has been requested a few times now, so I’ll 
   be sure to include this or something equivalent in the next major version.

 * I need this option as well, but I can’t figure out where this is considered RESOLVED.
 * Thanks.
