Re: php class that allow quick row ordering

Hi I am allready using a 'rank' field now... with 1 to N :) There are just so damned many of them to order manually the up/down button solution...is there a tutorial or php class out there I could take a look at... where you: give the class a query... get a found set back as html with these up/down buttons in each row start ordering away with wild abandon.... does this allready exist somewhere ? g On Apr 26, 2005, at 9:59 PM, Richard Lynch wrote:

Do different users get to order differently, or is there some "master" order that all shall use? If it's a "master" order, just put a "rank" field on the records, and then make sure it's always 1 to N for the order you want. You can create "up" and "down" buttons to alter the order fairly easily. If each user gets to have their own order, then you're looking at a playlist for each user, so I'd have a different table with just "ID" and "rank" (and userID) in it and do the same sort of thing. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
