Drupal: set up a draggable card sort view – Part 4

<= Back to previous section “Part 3 of 8”

Set up the Draggable table

1. Click Page to show the Page settings pane again.
   

   ---

2. Click Style: Unformatted to select how the view should be styled.

   

   ---

3. Select Draggable Table.
   Click the Override button – we are just changing this setting for the Page display.

   

   ---

4. When you click Override, a new message will appear: "Status: using overridden values." This indicates that these settings vary from the Defaults.

   The Override button changes to Update. Click it AGAIN!

   

   ---

5. Click the tiny gear icon next to Draggable Table. This is where you change its settings.

   

   ---

6. Now you’ll see a long list of options down below. Ignore it for the moment. First we need to add a new field required by Draggable Views.
   Click the + sign to the right of Fields. Select DraggableViews from the Groups menu at the bottom as shown.

   

   ---

7. Check DraggableViews: Order.

   

   ---

8. If you want to be able to use parent-child relationships between the rows in your table (to create a tree structure or outline) check DraggableViews: Parent as well. Click Add.

   

   ---

9. The DraggableViews: Order field will be added to the list of Fields in the middle column.

   

   ---

10. Once you add the Order field, you will see the error message shown below: Display "Page": Draggableviews: You must sort by DraggableViews: Order ascending as the first sort criteria to display the structure correctly. All this means is that we need to add the proper sort criteria.
