Creating list screens like ones used in the Backend

[bobbysegz]

I'm doing front end development on a component and my boss wants the lists (aka, rows from MySQL) to be displayed in the exact manner in which they are in the backend. JToolbar integration and all.

Now, I know the the JToolbar works in conjunction with the list screens in the backend for tasks such as adding, editing, deleting etc. I'm basically trying to mimic the same tasks performed on the backend, those just mentioned, in the front end for the user.


At the moment you can create listings in the back end as the admin. You can delete, edit publish/unpublish etc. I believe it is made considerable easier utilizing the javascript and JToolbar to make this work. I don't want to reinvent the wheel for the front end.

Any suggestions or could anyone point me in the right direction?
