here is my code for the view using the ajax helper (note the ids are
important, these are actually the ids that exist in the database)
<ul id="items">
<li id="item_1">Item 1</li>
<li id="item_2">Item 2</li>
<li id="item_3">Item 3</li>
</ul>
<?php echo $ajax->sortable('items', array('constraint' => false,
'url'=>'/myitems/updaterank/')); ?>
and now the code in the myitems controller:
function updaterank()
{
foreach ($this->params['form']['items'] as $rank => $id){
$this->MyItem->id = $id;
$this->MyItem->saveField('rank',$rank);
}
$this->autoRender = false;
}
Cheers,
Adam
