I created a sortable list in my RoR project, unfortunately it's not saving the list position. Upon page refresh the items return
to their normal spot. I've pasted the code below or you can git it: git://github.com/mdgrech/23notes-.git
app/views/notes/index.html.erb
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
<div id="newNoteDiv"></div>
<ul id="notesList">
<% for note in @notes %>
<li id="<%=h note.position %>">
<span class="handle">[drag]</span>
<div id="listContent">
<h3><%= link_to note.title, edit_note_path(note) %></h3>
<p><%=h note.content %></p>
<%= link_to "Destroy", note, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete %>
</div>
</li>
<%
end %>
</ul>
<%= sortable_element("notesList", :url => sort_notes_path, :handle => "handle" ) %>
app/controllers/notes_controller.rb
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
def index
@notes = Note.all(:order => "position")
end
def sort
params[:notes].each_with_index do |id, index|
Note.update_all(['position=?', index+1], ['id=?', id])
end
render :nothing => true
end
config/routes.rb
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
map.resources :notes, :collection => { :sort => :post }
map.root :notes
app/models/note.rb
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
class Note < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_list
end
