Bernardo,
That made no difference. The drag n' drop stuff graphically works,
but it isn't contacting my saveOrder action in my controller. I feel
like I'm missing a bit of code somewhere that is the proverbial
"missing link". Do I need something in my controller action saveOrder
for it to know to expect Ajax calls?
The view now looks like this:
Order View:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php
if (isset($javascript)):
echo $javascript->link('scriptaculous/lib/prototype.js');
echo $javascript->link('scriptaculous/src/scriptaculous.js');
endif;
?>
<ul id="questions">
<?php foreach ($faqs as $faq): ?>
<?php echo "<li id=\"question_" . $faq['Faq']['id'] .
"\">" . $faq['Faq']['question'] . "</li>"; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php echo $ajax->sortable('questions', array('url' =>
'saveOrder')); ?
<p>
<input type="button" value="Cancel"
onClick="window.location='../faqs';" />
</p>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
