rowReorder - determine the row that was moved for further use on php-save

online student registration - Germany

Hello,

I have a table with a date field plus a position field that indicates the position of the row only in reference to the rows with the same date: several to-do-tasks per day. When, by reordering, a task-row is moved to another day, I need to update this row to have the new date. The $_POST that my php on the server receives, has the row_ids with their new positions. But I cannot determine, which one is the row that has been moved, to update the date to target row's date. How can this be achieved?

    "rowReorder": {
        dataSrc: 'position',
        selector: 'td.reorder',
        editor: editor
    },

You could perhaps use pre-row-reorder - listen for that event and determine the node that was used to activate the order change and use that as part of the data to send to the server (initSubmit perhaps, or preSubmit).

That said, without knowing the full data structure, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about this. You might be changing the position of multiple rows - can that cause the all to change data? I wonder if you need to spin over all rows and update their dates based on their new positions?

Hello Alan

Thank you for your answer. I have successfully used pre-row-reorder and then tried to do:

editor.field('fieldname').val(modifiedValue)

in initSubmit to add the information.

However, there are two (or more) rows submitted and both/all are set to the same value, if I do it like that. Also, only the reorderField is submitted and I would have to smuggle data into that, which makes it pretty dirty. How can I add additional custom posted data in the case of an reorder submit?

And yes, I will have to implement some extra logic on the server side.

"initSubmit" is cancellable; just return "false" if you don't want the Editor submission in your particular use case. Then make your own ajax call to do the database update.

You might also need an "ajax.reload" afterwards. Just check the docs on that one, too.

I see.
I can get all details of the reorder process like from
the reorder even manual page
and build my own ajax post with it. That's going to work. When I got it up and running I will post the code here for everybody's information.

Thank you.
