Once upon a time there was...

[Hans]

Once upon a time there was a module (see: http://forum.websitebaker.org/index.php/topic,3029.0.html that made it possible to

• Reorder pages using drag-and-drop: Drag'n'drop reordering on the "Pages" page using AJAX.
  
• Reorder sections using drag-and-drop: Drag'n'drop reordering on the "Sections" page using AJAX.

I used this module with great pleasure, it made reordering pages as easy as 1+1. I wonder if somebody had tried to implement this in 2.6.5 and if that worked. If not, if somebody could rewrite the code to make it compatible with the latest version.
Thanks

The modules's help states:

Code:

The module has not yet been integrated into websitebaker. Use to following steps to activate the module:

   1. In a text editor, open the file wb/framework/class.admin.php
   2. Find the function print_footer()
   3. Add the following line to it:
      @include(WB_PATH.'/modules/jsadmin/footer.php');
   4. The function should end up looking like this:

 function print_footer() {
@include(WB_PATH.'/modules/jsadmin/footer.php');
$footer_template = new Template(ADMIN_PATH."/interface");
$footer_template->set_file('page', 'footer.html');
$footer_template->set_block('page', 'footer_block', 'header');
$footer_template->parse('header', 'footer_block', false);
$footer_template->pparse('output', 'page');
}

I had to add this to get it working in 2.6.5

Hello,

nice name for a thread   

but let us start the discuss of this addition new.

I would like to see this integrated in the core files of WB. Not as modul and without any options. My Ideas on this are:

1. Add the Ajax libraries to the include folder
2. Add the functions to framework/class.admin.php

Can anyone of the phpgurus do this?

Yes, it works perfect in 2.6.5. Should be not very hard then I think to integrate it in 2.7.
Of course only, when Ajax has been tested and concluded being 100% safe (I heard about many problems with it though...).

Hello,

about including in WB read here:

Eh, it works perfect, have integrated it. 
I meant, there are known problems with the programm language AJAX. Of course I only heard about it, but e.g. the developers of phpBB3 think it is too unsafe to use- but I don't know really about it.

Hello,

the problem are not the funtionality the problems are the licenses. If we us third party scripts in the core files of WB they should stand under the GNU license. The JSadmin files have other licenses.

@Waldschwein
AJAX is not more or less unsave than PHP. In general each added feature will widen the field for possible attacks. Ruby on rails for example already included the Prototype framework and the effect library of Scriptaculous, and I am pretty sure, more and more websites will add this feature over the next months/year.

i vote for prototype and scriptaculous... they are the best out there.  and i think they are GPL (AFAIK)

[tomhung]

can someone rename this thread.  so i can remember to read this....

Looked only in the source code files of the jsadmin module, which states copyright by YAHOO. After some research in the web, I found out that the routines used are licensed under BSD license (free to use and to implement). See the following link for further information.
http://forum.websitebaker.org/index.php/topic,3029.msg32164.html#msg32164

P.S. The very first post of the thread clearly states the license, but for whatever reason, the license notices were truncated in the jsadmin code files (sorry for the worry).

And now?
Can we have this in the addon section?

There are no license issues regarding the YAHOO framework used.
In general one needs to download the latest version of the YAHOO framework and implement this to the latest javascript admin module version available in this thread.
So if you have time do it
