thoughts at the moment, but if you run into any problems I'll see if I
can help you. FYI, I have not used the two components that you are
using together - mostly I've just used better_nested_set. Ordering
things in a list is pretty easy and so I've always just done my own
code because I've felt the other helpers just get in my way.<br>

<div>After lots of reading I think the best way is to use simple
draggables and droppables. After the drop i'll move the dragged node to
the dropped one with move_to_child_of and after that i'll redraw the
tree.</div>

I've done this in a recent project. Basically the way I do it is
check to see what order the a selected item in a list is in, and then
move that item before/after a child node in the target parent based off
this information. It's a bit complicated, but it's doable. I monkey
patched the module SymetrieCom::Acts::NestedSet to include the
following method to help me with this scenario:<br>

<hr size="2" width="100%"><font size="-1"><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> def
move_to_parent_location(parent, location)<br>
parent = nil if parent == 0<br>
parent = parent === self.class ? parent :
self.class.find(parent) if parent<br>
children = parent ? parent.children : self.class.roots<br>
<br>
if children.length > 0<br>
ord = location.to_i<br>
if ord > children.length<br>
self.move_to(children.last, :right)<br>
elsif children[ord] != self<br>
self.move_to(children[ord], :left)<br>
end<br>
elsif parent<br>
self.move_to(parent, :child)<br>
end<br>
end<br>

<pre wrap="">Hey there,
I just subscribed so i hope this question isn't redundant.
I'm trying to implement a sortable nested set.
I've already got an application with better_nested_set in place. I
also got a nice nested <ul> rendering for my tree. No I'd be able to
drag an drop / sort elements across the set.
I found this Wiki entry which says that it wouldn't be a good idea in
general to use sortable.create with :tree => true

On the same page there is a link to the rubyonrails wiki stating that
there is a fix expecially for better_nested_set. <a

My question would be what your experiences are. Is there a good way to
implement a sortable / draggable better_nested_set ? If not do you
have any suggestions, thoughs on this ?
Thanks and kind regards,
John (Berlin / Germany)
