I would like to be able let a user reorder photographs.
Grouping them by type is not the issue, (fashion, runway, nature, etc...) or
by subcategory (fashion_gender, runway_designer)
The user wants to be able to add new photographs and reorder them so that
prefered photos come first.
My first thought is to have a photoOrder field which the user can update
with an admin screen (simplified) something like the following:
photoOrder Number --- photo
10 ------------------ [img]
15 ------------------ [img]
20 ------------------ [img]
The user can update the 10 (it's in a text field) to a 21 and have the first
photo appear last. With only a few graphics in each sub category this can
work fairly well --- but it's REALLY UGLY.
Better yet would be to be able to move the graphic
1. up or down with an arrow (for one at a time)
2. send to end / beginning
3. have a text box to send a specified amount up or down.
A simplified example below:
<< < [insert amount] > >>
I can think of a way to update the records for this to work but eventually
it would be a real big mess.
User moves number 33 to behind 55.
If 56 is there the photoOrder gets designated 55a
55b comes after 55a
(55,55a,55b,56)
Now with only a few photos, or even a few dozen photos who cares. But in a
more involved system one would get situation like the following
(55a1,55a2,55a3,55a4,55a5)
(55a2a,55a2b,55a2c,55a2d)
This is ridiculous.( or is it?)
Is there a way to reorder/organize this field?
to take a sorted list(of this field) 1-77-203-204-999 and make it
10,20,30,40,50 or (1000,2000,3000)
