[daisy] Custom field editor

[Paul Focke]

I think the default field editor is a little to complex for what you are
trying to do. It has to be able to deal with all kinds of different
daisy field types and what not, so there is more that can go wrong.

Try to start off from the google map example[1] I believe that one is
simpler and probably easier to understand. You just have to skip the
javascript part in the template and leave out the code concerning
latitude and longitude.

Oh yeah, remember to restart the wiki after adding or modifying classes.
