sortable_element rails3

[vanderkerkoff]

Hello

I'm upgrading a rails2 app to rails3 and I'm struggling to find a replacement for sortable_element.

I was using it and acts_as_list so users could reorder list items with drag and drop, and the reordering would write a new position of the object into the database.

Does anyone have any links or anything that I could read to help me?

I've found Ryan Bates revised example, paid for content though and I'm waiting for someone in the company to OK the massive expenditure of $9 per month.

I also found this, which looked helpful

https://github.com/onedesign/reorderable

But that seems to have disappeared from rubygems.

Alot of people are linking to this example as well

http://webtempest.com/sortable-list-in-ruby-on-rails-3-almost-unobtrusive-jquery/

That persons account has been deactivated.

Ever get the feeling you're having the runaround?

Any help or links or tips will be greatly appreciated, as always.

Hey man, what's up?

I was thinking, maybe you should try to implement it from scratch,

It seems you just need to add a position field in your database, and start to use

A jquery plugin for drag and drop. After move things around,

You can collect all ids through jquery and send a Ajax call to your controller to update all position fields of elements.

It seems not that hard. What do you thing about it?

Nice day
