Two comments about the attachment itself:

1. It would make it easier if the files are stored in the zip file with the mantis directory structure. For example, core/strings_api.php, core/helper_api.php, etc.

2. In addition to strings_api.php.patch and default.css.patch, I would attach the full files.

Please re-attach the zip once you apply these changes. I'll test once 2 is done.

I have attached the complete files in addition to the diff patch files and added directory structure to the zip.

Chillax, do you still have the patch for this. We seem to have lost it during the server migration.

I can try to regenerate it for you. I'm running against an older version of mantis presently but it could be updated to work fairly easily I assume.

I'd like to test this as well, if we can get new files attached. I suggested enhancing the separate forms in bug 0008472 - which woulsn't have to be J/S dependent - but Victor may be right that this is the way to go.

My first two thoughts, not having seen the patch yet:
1) J/S dependence may be bad for some folks.
2) If the above solution hides advanced fields from the user's view (not sure), but those fields can be populated manually when switching views, we'd want to make sure the data are handled properly. At the very least generate a warning message on submit, that says you should switch back to advanced view if you want to preserve any data in those fields.

Chillax, Could you regenerate this ?

As of 1.2.0rc2 this will be no longer required, since we don't have the simple / advanced concept anymore.
