Nested Sortables is a class to provide sortable-like function on a nested element.
Include the script at the top of your page, and then set up an instance with a reference to a UL or other similar nested element:
new NestedSortables('nestedElement', {
collapse: true,
events: {
onStart: function(el){
console.log('started sorting');
},
onComplete: function(el){
console.log('stopped sorting');
}
}
});
This class accepts the following options:
childTag (string) The type of tag to recognise as a child element (e.g. 'li')
ghost (boolean) Whether to add a ghost element while sorting
childStep (integer) Attempts to become a parent/child if this amount is moved left/right
handleClass (null or string) The classname of the element to use for dragging
collapse (boolean) Whether to provide collapsing of sub-elements
collapseClass (string) The classname to add to a collapsed element
expandKey (string) The keypress required with click to make an element expand/collapse
lock (options are: null, parent, depth, class) Whether to lock sorting to a parent, to the same depth, to a certain class or to within the list
lockClass (string) The classname to use if the lock option is set to class
This code is effectively a MooTools 1.3 port of some 1.1 code written by CrazyDave. I can't provide a link to his website as it doesn't seem to exist any more. But on the off-chance he reads this - thanks for some great code!
