Jon,
Nice work with the editing of module titles. This is much, much, better then
having to go into the module's settings.
I had a good idea for an application of your drag and drop functionality. I'm
sure you have thought of this already but maybe I can persuade you to do it.
One thing that users complain about is the cumbersome method to order items in
many modules. That is modules that have a view order. This is a 4 digit integer
to sort on. Unless you plan your content like an old BASIC program and go in 10
number increments you can find yourself having to renumber the entire sequence.
What would be really cool is to be able to drag and drop the
items within a module. For example the core links module. How good would it be
to use your clientAPI to enable an admin to drag and drop the links around to
change the order?
If possible this would be a great example to get
working. Based on this more module developer could use the code to do
the same or even
more. Right now I'm not sure where to start. I build modules and would
like to do more with them.
What would be super cool would be to utilise the Iportable
interface to allow for items from the same type of module to be dragged and
dropped into each other. For example move a link from one link module to
another link module.
Unfortunately Iportable exports all the items but I guess
this could be enhanced or worked around.
Anyway thanks for all the cool features of DNN, drag and
drop and title editing. I am hoping to use AJAX in a project early next year. Keep up the good work. Let me know if i can help with anything.
John.
