      Ok, just got a weird request from the client, they would like a special registration section on the public side (not through the admin pages) and I was wondering how hard it would be to produce a meta box on the public side? (even better, could it be the same meta box and meta box logic I use in the admin section, but shown on the public side?)

      Is there a shortcode or a quick way of doing it, without including everything needed in the admin section? Or if there isn’t, whats the best way of including what needs to be loaded?

      Thanks

      I’ve created a specific registration page in admin. (site.com/home/register)
      Now I’m trying to bring over the custom metabox for that page and put it in the front end.
      Using:

      // Load necessary admin files
include( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/template.php' );
include( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/post.php' );
// Add meta boxes
do_action('add_meta_boxes', 'page', $post);
do_action('add_meta_boxes_' . 'page', $post);
// Show Meta Boxes
do_meta_boxes( 'home/register', 'normal', $post );

      Taken from several sites that tout they can show meta boxes on the front end of a wordpress site.

      Only problem is, I don’t think piklist builds these for the front end, only built in admin.

      Am I right? Is there a way to build the piklist meta boxes in the front end?

      Thanks
