Please [go there](https://github.com/ilikenwf/nestedSortable).** 3 | 4 | **~~DEVELOPER NEEDED~~** 5 | **~~I'm sorry to say that I am not able to keep the pace developing this project anymore. I know how much nestedSortable is important for web applications, and I still can't understand why it's not part of jQuery-UI. I also think the base of the plugin is very strong, and deserves much more attention and involvement. If anybody is willing to take this project, please say so [here](https://github.com/mjsarfatti/nestedSortable/issues/95).~~** 6 | **~~Thank you.~~** 7 | 8 | # nestedSortable jQuery plugin 9 | 10 | *nestedSortable* is a jQuery plugin that extends jQuery Sortable UI functionalities to nested lists. 11 | *Note:* **Version 2.0** *is published in branch '2.0alpha' and is ready for testing! At the moment it has only been tested in Firefox and Chrome, if you work with IE feel free to give it a shot and let me know if something goes wrong.* 12 | 13 | ## Features 14 | 15 | - Designed to work seamlessly with the [nested](http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/hierarchical-data-database "A Sitepoint tutorial on PHP, MYSQL and nested sets") [set](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_set_model "Wikipedia article on nested sets") model (have a look at the `toArray` method) 16 | - Items can be sorted in their own list, moved across the tree, or nested under other items. 17 | - Sublists are created and deleted on the fly 18 | - All jQuery Sortable options, events and methods are available 19 | - It is possible to define elements that will not accept a new nested item/list and a maximum depth for nested items 20 | - The root level can be protected 21 | 22 | ## Usage 23 | 24 | ``` 25 |

36 | ``` 37 | 38 | ``` 39 | $(document).ready(function(){ 40 | 41 | $('.sortable').nestedSortable({ 42 | handle: 'div', 43 | items: 'li', 44 | toleranceElement: '> div' 45 | }); 46 | 47 | }); 48 | ``` 49 | 50 | Please note: every `
  • ` must have either one or two direct children, the first one being a container element (such as `
    ` in the above example), and the (optional) second one being the nested list. The container element has to be set as the 'toleranceElement' in the options, and this, or one of its children, as the 'handle'. 51 | 52 | Also, the default list type is `
      `. 53 | 54 | ## Custom Options 55 | 56 |
      57 |
      tabSize
      58 |
      How far right or left (in pixels) the item has to travel in order to be nested or to be sent outside its current list. Default: 20
      59 |
      disableNesting
      60 |
      The class name of the items that will not accept nested lists. Default: ui-nestedSortable-no-nesting
      61 |
      errorClass
      62 |
      The class given to the placeholder in case of error. Default: ui-nestedSortable-error
      63 |
      listType
      64 |
      The list type used (ordered or unordered). Default: ol
      65 |
      maxLevels
      66 |
      The maximum depth of nested items the list can accept. If set to '0' the levels are unlimited. Default: 0
      67 |
      protectRoot
      68 |
      Wether to protect the root level (i.e. root items can be sorted but not nested, sub-items cannot become root items). Default: false
      69 |
      rootID
      70 |
      The id given to the root element (set this to whatever suits your data structure). Default: null
      71 |
      rtl
      72 |
      Set this to true if you have a right-to-left page. Default: false
      73 |
      isAllowed (function)
      74 |
      You can specify a custom function to verify if a drop location is allowed. Default: function(item, parent) { return true; }
      75 |
      76 | 77 | ## Custom Methods 78 | 79 |
      80 |
      serialize
      81 |
      Serializes the nested list into a string like setName[item1Id]=parentId&setName[item2Id]=parentId, reading from each item's id formatted as 'setName_itemId' (where itemId is a number). 82 | It accepts the same options as the original Sortable method (key, attribute and expression).
      83 |
      toArray
      84 |
      Builds an array where each element is in the form: 85 |
      setName[n] =>
       86 | {
       87 | 	'item_id': itemId,
       88 | 	'parent_id': parentId,
       89 | 	'depth': depth,
       90 | 	'left': left,
       91 | 	'right': right,
       92 | }
       93 | 
      94 | It accepts the same options as the original Sortable method (attribute and expression) plus the custom startDepthCount, that sets the starting depth number (default is 0).
      95 |
      toHierarchy
      96 |
      Builds a hierarchical object in the form: 97 |
      '0' ...
       98 | 	'id' => itemId
       99 | '1' ...
      100 | 	'id' => itemId
      101 | 	'children' ...
      102 | 		'0' ...
      103 | 			'id' => itemId
      104 | 		'1' ...
      105 | 			'id' => itemId
      106 | '2' ...
      107 | 	'id' => itemId
      108 | 
      109 | Similarly to toArray, it accepts attribute and expression options.
      110 |
      111 | 112 | ## Known Bugs 113 | 114 | *nestedSortable* doesn't work properly with connected draggables, because of the way Draggable simulates Sortable `mouseStart` and `mouseStop` events. This bug might or might not be fixed some time in the future (it's not specific to this plugin). 115 | 116 | ## Requirements 117 | 118 | jQuery 1.4+ 119 | jQuery UI Sortable 1.8+ 120 | 121 | ## Browser Compatibility 122 | 123 | Tested with: IE 6/7/8, Firefox 3.6/4, Chrome, Safari 3 124 | 125 | ## License 126 | 127 | This work is licensed under the MIT License. 128 | 129 | This work is *pizzaware*.
