What I then want to do is to use scriptaculous editinplace to allow a menu item (item in the list) to be editted. I have the code in place, but in Firefox the class is included in the textfield along with the list item and in IE the entire code for the editinplace is included.

I must be doing something fundamentally wrong.

Any ideas?

thanks in advanced

I used it in Administration part of our application.

it’s driving me nuts!

Basically, the onUpdate function doesn’t seem to execute.


Sortable.create('profile', {tag:'div', handle: 'drag',
onUpdate: function()
{
new Ajax.Request("config['site']['url']; ?>scripts/dynamic.php",
{
method: "post",
parameters: { data: Sortable.serialize("profile"), do: "profile_structure", userid: ""}
});
}
});


I’ve tried debugging the best I can, sticking an alert in, using Firebug but it seems as though the function just isn’t called.

The actual sortable drag elements work fine it’s just the update function.

Anyone got any idea’s?

I added an extra character to the unique ID passed for each draggable. This extra character denotes which list/table the item came from. On the ‘file_to_call’ page I can strip off the extra character for each item in the array and use it to determine what I do in the database. If its an ‘A’ in the ‘B’ list then I can have the code copy the ‘A’ record to the ‘B’ table and then delete the ‘A’ record. If its an ‘A’ in the ‘A’ list, then the code will just reorder the list.

Does this sound like a viable solution?

I am dragging items between lists and have that successfully enabled. I have list ‘A’ and List ‘B’. List ‘A’ data is dynamicly generated from table ‘A’ in the database. ‘B’ is done likewise. If I drag an item from List ‘A’ to List ‘B’ I need to delete the record in table ‘A’ and create a record in table ‘B’ all the while setting the sort order.

Is this possible or should I just enable a standard form with a checkbox for each item. If they want to move it to the other list, they check it off and submit the form which refreshes the page etc… I dont like this because it basically removes the whole point of the Ajax drag and drop. Please let me know, if you can, what I might be able to do in order to enable the drag drop update in the manner described above.

I was thinking that I could pass a post header variable somehow and run and if/then statement in the file_to_call that determines what list the item came from. If it was the other list, then it would create/delete/update as needed and if the item came from the same list, it would just update. Am I heading in the right direction? If so, how could I pass a post header variable?

I’d really like to use this script - if someone could help me out, that would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
