CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

Recently i noticed the link "reorder pages" in cmsms´s admin>listcontent.php which enables you to reorder your content with drag & drop. Now i want to add delete functionality, for example a recycling bin where you can drop items from the content list to delete them. My idea is to display this as the default interface, but therefore it needs delete functionality. Any idea how i can do that? Can anybody tell me what i have to play around with? I admit im not a real developer. The only thing i really understand is html/css. But im good at copy pasting and making things work without knowing how.


here is an example(with source) of a drag & drop recycling bin but its in ruby:
first you have to add items to your shopping cart, than you can remove them.

not directly related to the topic but JS related(maybe usefull for JS developers):

I appreciate any help

where is that... I want that too lol

you simply have to click the link "reorder pages". Its located right to the link "add content" in content>pages. Then you get the pages as a list (which is actually a table) and you are able to reorder the pages by drag & drop. Its not obvious because it looks like a normal list. Then you have to click save.

Can´t anybody help? I thought there were more people interested in this featurei

You do know you can tick all the boxes on the far right and delete them, so I don't see the need for this...

Im talking about the drag & drop "screen". Of course in normal mode, where is no drag & drop you can easily delete pages. But i want the user to see the drag & drop mode by default and use it for all actions without the need to switch back to normal mode if he wants to delete something. I of course have  no problem with the interface as it is, but im thinking about end consumers, drag & drop totally sells and this feature would be very cool if there was delete functionaltiy. Its a matter of usability and marketing, not really of functionality. It would be enough to add a delete button next to evry page (in drag & drop mode). But i dont get how this drag & drop thing works and how it knows what to display.


Thx for all anwsers

Damn that didn't work as well as I had hoped... you need to be able to interact with the sub pages to make this useful IMHO... the sites I do are as wide as deep and just ordering the top is no great speed up... my2cents  Hope to see a better version soon...
