DraggableViews

DraggableViews makes rows of a view "draggable" which means that they can be rearranged by Drag'n'Drop. This module makes it possible to organize complex structures with just a few clicks. This graceful behavior is implemented as a Views style-plugin.

Have you ever rearranged Blocks?, sorted Taxonomy terms? or reordered Menu items at the Drupal administration pages? All these pages use the tabledrag.js javascript that enables Drag'n Drop on HTML-tables.

With DraggableViews you can apply this tabledrag.js to any Views-generated table.

Of course DraggableViews also cares about how the structure-information gets saved. There are endless possibilities:

• DraggableViews Native: You don't have to care about this,
• CCK: You specify the CCK field,
• or for developers: you build your own handler to save these values elsewhere.

There already exist some very specific handlers. Except Flag Weights they are all part of the DraggableViews package:

• Flag Weights handler: Integrates with the bookmarks module. Organize your bookmarks!
• Book handler: Integrates with the book module. Organize your content-table!
• Taxonomy handler: Integrates with the taxonomy module. Well, you know this from the Drupal admin pages.
