Re: Ajax Sortable List Confusion
Nice job, I recently built something quite like this, only in my set- up the widgets themselves are in fact "mini-controllers" using a component and an element.

Re: Ajax Sortable List Confusion
Just an update to anyone looking for help with building a drag & drop interface in Cake. I wrote a brief tutorial on my blog that should help resolve most basic issues/confusion with this particular aspect of Cake. I tried to write it from the perspective of someone new to Cake and or with no previous experience with the $ajax->sortable() helper built into Cake. So, if you are stuck or scared of building your drag & drop interface, check it out: http://www.dustinweber.com/blog/_archives/2007/4/4/2859177.html Thanks!

Re: Ajax Sortable List Confusion
No it turned out that it was correct as is. The problem I was having
was related to Firebug I think.
However, I think as long as you are using the same controller to
handle the AJAX work/response as the view that created the page using
the AJAX call, you don't need to specify the longer URL.
I might be wrong on that, but I'm assuming if you wanted the AJAX call
to use a different controller, that's when you would specify the
longer url (ie controllername/action). Am I wrong?
Regardless, it works now by just calling the action in the controller
(no need to add controllername/action). It may not hurt to add it
though.

Re: Ajax Sortable List Confusion
I'm sorry if this sounds too obvious, but there has to be some
response (maybe it is an error or not); in your controller you have:
echo "made it!", where do you expect to see this? use firebug to see
the ajax request and the response and also the posted data. Also, if
you just want to update the database and not to render a view add:
$this->autoRender=false to saveOrder.

Re: Ajax Sortable List Confusion
According the Live HTTP Headers (application to check headers), the
ajax request is being made, but there doesn't seem to be a response
from the saveOrder action. Is there some sort of code to hand the
ajax request that needs to be in the saveOrder action?
Thanks,

Re: Ajax Sortable List Confusion
Your code looks ok to me now. Have you checked with firebug that the
ajax request isn't made?

Re: Ajax Sortable List Confusion
Bernardo,
That made no difference. The drag n' drop stuff graphically works,
but it isn't contacting my saveOrder action in my controller. I feel
like I'm missing a bit of code somewhere that is the proverbial
"missing link". Do I need something in my controller action saveOrder
for it to know to expect Ajax calls?
The view now looks like this:
Order View:
link('scriptaculous/lib/prototype.js');
echo $javascript->link('scriptaculous/src/scriptaculous.js');
endif;
?>
" . $faq['Faq']['question'] . ""; ?>
sortable('questions', array('url' =>
'saveOrder')); ?

Try setting the id of the li to something like faq_1 faq_2 ... that is
they should end in an underscore and a number.

Ajax Sortable List Confusion
I did my very best to search everywhere I could to solve this problem
related to the $ajax->sortable helper. Most of the posts are dated,
so I apologize if I missed the answer somewhere else.
Here's what I have:
Controller snippets (related to this question):
---
var $helpers = array('html', 'time', 'javascript', 'ajax');
function saveOrder()
{
echo "made it!"; //just to check and see that it made it for now
//normally we would do some DB updating here instead
}
*all my other actions work properly in this controller
Order View:
link('scriptaculous/lib/prototype.js');
echo $javascript->link('scriptaculous/src/scriptaculous.js');
endif;
?>
" . $faq['Faq']['question'] . ""; ?>
sortable('questions', array('url' => 'saveOrder')); ?
>
Using just those two simple snippets, I get the sortable list
graphically working in the view. In simple terms, I can drag the
boxes around with no problem. However, the sortable helper isn't
doing anything. The controller action "saveOrder" never get's called
by the helper.
Am I missing something obvious here? As I understand it, this is the
only code I need in the view to get it working properly, am I wrong?
Firebug shows no errors and I don't see anything that looks out of
place or wrong in the generated source (when the page is built).
Thanks for your help in advance,
Dustin Weber
