[Proto-Scripty] Re: 24 new messages in 10 topics - digest

2008-09-18 Thread T.J. Crowder

Hugh,

Two things:

1. Even if you aren't happy with responses to your questions, it's not
okay to repost.  Your original post did show up.  In fact, you got a
reply in that thread before you reposted and started this second
thread.  For readers of this thread, here's his original and if you
feel like responding, please do so there:
http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-scriptaculous/browse_thread/thread/9a7756f0a145cb14#

2. Can you explain your message subjects, please?  In general, when
posting to a discussion group, it's best to use a subject that
highlights the main aspect of your thread.  This "X new messages in Y
topics" message subject is not useful (and in fact, I only barely
bothered to look at your first message, having initially assumed it
would be spam -- fortunately I did bother to look at it, saw it wasn't
spam, and cleared it through).  If you're sending messages to the
group by replying to a group digest email, please correct the subject
line before posting.  And that may increase the odds of someone
helping you out.

HTH,

Second attempt:

I'm fairly new to Scriptaculous and trying to figure out how to do
this properly:

I have a menu of question-types and a Sortable list of questions.
  I want to be able to click on a menu-item (NOT a question)
  and have it generate a new question - already being dragged -
  which I can drop into the question-list.

Slightly complicating this: the question-id and form defaults will be
  results of an ajax call against the database,
  so on clicking a menu item I want it to create a
  temporary placeholder (a generic question-form)
  which becomes the actual question once the database responds,
  either before or after being dropped into the question-list.

One more thing - can I unset the movement constraints
  on the new question until I drop it into the survey list,
  then reset it to be vertically constrained to the list??

I have been unable to find any how-to's on this;
  if anyone could properly explain how to go about this,
  I'd be glad to write up a summary once I get it working!
