Their separation as such, could be semantic. Server versus client side.

I agree that Forms pane becomes cluttered. Actually, mediatyped forms should be handled like Pages, but they are not tied to sections (save via themes).

I seem to remember that a couple of years ago Oleg (etc), suggested that one way to make txp more flexible is to treat all text fields as modules that we could re-organise for the needs of the site. (Excuse the paraphrasing but I cannot find the actual post just now).

Your memory is better than mine :-) Weren’t it custom fields?

A revamped Styles panel for what you call mediatyped forms, or what Yiannis (and I) client side content handling. The Pages model similar to the current Styles panel seems the more appropriate model. BTW, a stylesheet or script could be assigned (by the theme) to some section(s) or to some specific article(s).

I think that what the post was referring to was all fields in the admin side of txp including custom_fields, the body and excerpt fields, but also the fields that exist in other tabs such as the links tab and the files tab. The way I understood it then was that the separation of these fields was artificial, be it for functional purposes.

Beyond js and css, we could add the construction of other client side types such as xml, rss, atom, and allow for anything else that may become popular in the future. The interface may be similar to the forms with accordion type separations.

I’d be stuck. I actually relish more admin-side control (e.g. being able to import/upload themes from a .zip file) rather than having to demand SFTP access in order to install a theme, or be forced to create each asset by hand in a new theme created from the back-end.

That would be great!
