SortableGridField ================= [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/UndefinedOffset/SortableGridField.png)](https://travis-ci.org/UndefinedOffset/SortableGridField) ![helpfulrobot](https://helpfulrobot.io/undefinedoffset/sortablegridfield/badge) Adds drag and drop functionality to SilverStripe 3's GridField ## Requirements * SilverStripe 3.x ## Installation __Composer (recommended):__ ``` composer require undefinedoffset/sortablegridfield ``` If you prefer you may also install manually: * Download the latest release from https://github.com/UndefinedOffset/SortableGridField/releases * Extract the downloaded archive into your site root so that the destination folder is called `SortableGridField`, opening the extracted folder should contain `_config.php` in the root along with other files/folders * Run `dev/build?flush=all` to regenerate the manifest * Upon entering the cms and using `GridFieldSortableRows` component for the first time you make need to add `?flush=all` to the end of the address to force the templates to regenerate ## Usage To enable sorting on a `has_many` relationship set up an integer field on your data object. Also for `has_many` relationships make sure to set the `$default_sort` on the `DataObject` to this new integer field to ensure that the sort order is applied when the relationship is requested. For `many_many` relationships you must add a `$many_many_extraFields` static to the `DataObject` defining the relationship, see the [SilverStripe documentation](https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/3/developer_guides/model/relations/#many-many) for more information on this. If you are using a `many_many` relationship you will need to do a custom getter to set the sort order of this relationship for use on the front end see below for an example. As well for `many_many` relationships the name of the GridField *must* be the same as the relationship name other wise error's will occur. For new `DataObject`s you do not need to increment the sort order yourself in your `DataObject`, `GridFieldSortableRows` will automatically do this the next time the grid is displayed. ```php public function getMyManyManyRelationship() { return $this->getManyManyComponents('MyManyManyRelationship')->sort('SortColumn'); } ``` To enable drag and drop sorting on the grid field add the following to your grid field's config *Grid Field Config* ```php $myGridConfig->addComponent(new GridFieldSortableRows('{Column to store sort}')); ``` To move an item to another page drag the row over the respective move to page button which appear on the left and right of the GridField and release. #### Full code Examples * [has_many relationship](https://github.com/UndefinedOffset/SortableGridField/blob/master/docs/HasManyExample.md) * [many_many relationship](https://github.com/UndefinedOffset/SortableGridField/blob/master/docs/ManyManyExample.md) * [ModelAdmin implementation](https://github.com/UndefinedOffset/SortableGridField/blob/master/docs/ModelAdminExample.md) #### Events `GridFieldSortableRows` provides 4 "events" `onBeforeGridFieldRowSort()`, `onAfterGridFieldRowSort()`, `onBeforeGridFieldPageSort()` and `onAfterGridFieldPageSort()`. These "events" are passed a clone of the `DataList` used in `GridFieldSortableRows`, in the case of page sorting this list has a limit that shows you the current page plus/minus one object. For `GridFieldSortableRows` that are on `ModelAdmin` descendants these events are called on the `ModelAdmin` if they do not have an owner `DataObject`, if you are using `GridFieldSortableRows` on a `GridField` for a `DataObject`'s relationship the events are called on that `DataObject`. #### Appending to the top instead of the bottom By default `GridFieldSortableRows` appends to the bottom of the list for performance on large data sets, however you can set new records to append new records to the top by calling `setAppendToTop(true)` on your `GridFieldSortableRows` instance. ```php $myGridConfig->addComponent($sortable = new GridFieldSortableRows('SortOrder')); $sortable->setAppendToTop(true); ``` #### Working with versioned records By default `GridFieldSortableRows` does not update any other stage for versioned than the base stage. However you can enable this by calling `setUpdateVersionedStage()` and passing in the name of the stage you want to update along with the base stage. For example passing in "Live" will also update the "Live" stage when any sort happens. ```php $myGridConfig->addComponent($sortable = new GridFieldSortableRows('SortOrder')); $sortable->setUpdateVersionedStage('Live'); ``` #### Overriding the default relationship name By default the relationship name comes from the name of the `GridField`, however you can override this lookup by calling `setCustomRelationName()` and passing in the name of the relationship. This allows for you to have multiple `GridFields` on the same form interacting with the same `many_many` list maybe filtered slightly differently. ```php $myGridConfig->addComponent($sortable = new GridFieldSortableRows('SortOrder')); $sortable->setCustomRelationName('MyRelationship'); ``` ## Migrating from SilverStripe 2.4 and `DataObjectManager`'s `SortableDataObject` `SortableGridField` is not the same as `SortableDataObject`, since it is only a component of `GridField` it does not have the ability to catch the object when it is saved for the first time. So `SortableGridField` uses 1 as the first sort index because 0 is the default for an integer field/column in the database. For migrations from 2.4 with `SortableDataObject` you need to setup your `DataObject` based on the instructions above however you must name your sort column "SortOrder" to maintain your sort indexes defined by `SortableDataObject`. Then you need to run the following query on the table containing your sort field, for `many_many` relationships this will be something like `{RelationshipClass}_{RelationshipName}`. This query will maintain your sort order from `SortableDataObject` but increment the index by 1 giving it a starting number of 1. ```sql UPDATE "YourTable" SET "SortOrder" = "SortOrder" + 1; ``` ## Reporting an issue When you're reporting an issue please ensure you specify what version of SilverStripe you are using i.e. 3.0.5, 3.1beta3, 3.0-master etc. Also be sure to include any JavaScript or PHP errors you receive, for PHP errors please ensure you include the full stack trace. Also please include your implementation code (where your setting up your grid field) as well as how you produced the issue. You may also be asked to provide some of the classes to aid in re-producing the issue. Stick with the issue, remember that you seen the issue not the maintainer of the module so it may take a lot of questions to arrive at a fix or answer. ### Notes * When using with `GridFieldManyRelationHandler` make sure that you add `GridFieldSortableRows` to your config before for example `GridFieldManyRelationHandler`: ```php $config->addComponent(new GridFieldSortableRows('SortOrder'), 'GridFieldManyRelationHandler'); ``` ## Contributing ### Translations Translations of the natural language strings are managed through a third party translation interface, transifex.com. Newly added strings will be periodically uploaded there for translation, and any new translations will be merged back to the project source code. Please use [https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/silverstripe-sortablegridfield](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/silverstripe-sortablegridfield) to contribute translations, rather than sending pull requests with YAML files.
