While you are editing the webpages in the admin panel, you can move the webpages up and down your list using the move up and down buttons. Where this may be ok for some , anyone that likes to keep all same types of pages in a group , have to spend ages moving pages up and down. (example i have 20 .html for each team to have fixtures, so grouping them together) Is there an easy way of adding a drag and drop feature, this would speed up the process 1000 times ? I know i`m more and likely the only one to ever want it due to a very large amount of webpages , but thought id ask. _________________ http://www.saynoto0870.com/ XXVIII/ I/ MCMLXXI

I have not seen ajax drag and drop in action or in theory, so I have no idea how hard it would be. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

I had a gander at most of them in the category, but this seems to be the most apt: http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index...e&whichScript=drag_drop_nodes

I have had a quick look at some sites myself. A big issue is that drag and drop is a feature that would look very odd and be very confusing if done on just one page. _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org

i cant for the life of me see any other use for it apart form the sorting of webpages page, and maybe the management page for fourm cats...

It was just an idea, as i spent a good 40 mins the other day sorting them all, only to add another 30 pages and have to sort again.

There are other approaches to making re-ordering easier, ones that will be easier to spot! _________________ Family Friendly Shareware \| \| Web Design/Services \| Free Forums forum.myfreeforum.org
