Oops! I was going to but thought that because it was more of a question that it should go on here. I will put that on there too. Thanks!

Hi @jasontheadams

Yes that’s right, and no issues were experienced with using Bootstrap on the admin-side until I tried to use the Piklist form on the admin-side as well.

I’ve worked around it by only queueing up Bootstrap when I need it which is not when the Piklist form is in use. And this also avoids it loading for most of the admin area of WordPress as well.

I’ve used Datatables with the Bootstrap theme for listing data which comes from a historical data structure, one such table has currently about 60,000 records – all loaded with paging via ajax, with column ordering and searching which Datatables handles beautifully and really quickly. Obviously we’ve not used Piklist for the data handling but we are using Piklist for fast development of the forms used across the site. We’re using a custom scope to manipulate the data since none of the data is stored using WordPress’s data structure. WordPress is acting as the CMS for the rest of the site besides the specific business logic our client needs.

So on the frontend, Piklist is used for submitting data using various forms including customer data which is then sent to a payment gateway. On the admin-side, the data is shown via Datatables then when a record is selected the data is loaded into the same Piklist form (with some extra fields and options available to the admin).

We would have probably used Piklist in the standard way if it hadn’t been for this client having had a previous website with a custom data structure.

It’s all working well, I was just thrown by the forms not displaying correctly on the admin-side to start with.

Thanks for replying! 🙂
