Drag from JQGrid to jsTree v.0.9.9a

Question

Hi,

I'm looking to drag a row from the JQGrid i've created and fire a drop event on a node in the jsTree (v.0.9.9a).

Is there anyway to do this - using v.0.9.9a of the jsTree only.

Regards.

Answer 1

This is a really narrow question. It sounds like both controls use the jQuery UI draggable and droppable widgets, and that you have a preliminary approach. Why not try implementing your idea and see how well it works?

I would encourage you to post your code when you are done, or if you get stuck along the way...

Answer 2

After much debate, i've decided to switch to jsTree version 1.

In jqGrid I added the event

afterInsertRow: function (rowid, rowdata, rowelem) {
            $("#" + rowid).addClass('jstree-draggable');
        },

I then added the dnd plugin for the jstree, which allows all external elements with the class "jstree-draggable" to be dragged into the tree with the event "drag_finish": function (data) {} in the jsTree.

While jsTree version 1 is a pain to switch to after using pre-Version 1 it really is a lot faster, neater and easier to use once you get the hang of it. I'm told that full documentation will be released with the version 1 final.
