Hi Adam,
A couple of thoughts-
I think you described something similar to what acts_as_list does - adds a
position int field.
Drag-n-drop-
In mental, front-end drag can be accomplished by making two changes to
views/admin/page/index.rhtml:
<tbody id="list">
and anywhere at the bottom of the page:
<%= sortable_element 'list',
:tag => 'tr',
:update => 'list-info',
:complete => visual_effect(:highlight, 'list'),
:url => { :action => "children" } %>
http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Sortable.create
These ideas are just a potential starting point. I've verified the front-end
javascript works in firefox 2.
If someone does these two things, they see some issues right way:
* the ajax action call to children doesn't work. I'm just testing whether or
not drag-n-drop will work with tables instead of lists. So far, so good. The
server-side code still needs to be written.
* code would test for when a page has children. drap-n-drop gets funky when
you move pages with children (possibly using the "only" option when setting up
the sortable_element. See wiki link above)
Well, I just wanted to share some things I've experienced so far. I'd love to
get ordering of pages working.
