Feature request: Nested lists

[kimisgold]

My project uses drag-and-drop interfaces that are not currently accessible, and I'd love to use dragon drop to replace our current sorting jquery plugin. Many of our interfaces are for creating navigation lists, and so the ability to nest the sortable items is key.

This sounds interesting. Could you go more in depth on how this interaction works? I would like to get a better idea of what this feature would entail.

Screenshots would be helpful too!

+1 for this feature

I've attached a screenshot from a project on which I'm currently working, using a tree structure to manage page position for a website's navigation

In it, the Events page has 3 child pages, called (imaginatively) Event 1, Event 2, and Event 3

I'd love to be able to drag Event 3 to above -say- Event 1 without being able to drag it into Resources (the item above Events) or Faqs (the Item below Events)

Hope it helps!

Ok, thanks for the explanation + screenshot. I'll probably tag a new release including this feature this evening or tomorrow

p.s. the feature is sitting in this branch. I just need to write some tests and then tag the release

[itsterry]

Awesomely quick! Thank you! I'll check it out

This isn't quite resolved yet, I've added keyboard support for nested lists but not mouse support yet

@kimisgold @itsterry version 3.2.1 supports nested lists there is now also a demo

For now, sublists are locked (as in you can't move an item from one sublist to another but you can reorder sublist items within their original list containers). From what I gathered, this is @itsterry 's desired behavior. I do however plan on supporting the use case of moving sublist items between sublists. See #11 to track that feature.

I will close this issue if this is what both of you had in mind

@schne324 Awesome: this is exactly what we need. Thank you!

[schne324]

No problem, the configuration needed is a little funky for now. Once I address #11 it should be a little more intuitive.

Cheers!

@kimisgold is this the kind of nesting you were looking for?

[kimisgold]

Hi @schne324, thanks for the fast response on this! My use case is more like what you described, in that I need to be able to to move items in and out of sublists. For an example, you can look at our demo sandbox: http://dev.omeka.org/omeka-s-sandbox/admin/site/s/americanart/navigation (username/password: [email protected]/omekasdemo1). We're currently using jstree as our sorting tool.

@kimisgold this feature sounds cool but may require some decent refactoring. I'll leave this ticket open until full nested lists support is added

[kimisgold]

Thanks, I look forward to seeing what you do!

closing in favor #11 which has a more descriptive title
