TreeSort

TreeSort is a simple datatype that allows sorting and moving document nodes via visual drag and drop. It automatically updates your documents and refreshes the document tree.

Features:

- Sort by vertical drag and drop
- Promote by horizontally dragging to the left (NB. will only promote if arrow is showing)
- Demote and make child of preceding sibling by horizontally dragging to the right (NB. will only demote if arrow is showing)
- Visual and server side check to see if the document is part of the new parent's allowed document Types

Installation instructions:

Add the code below to the restExtensions.config file

<ext assembly="treesort_base" type="treesort_base.treesort_base" alias="treesort">
        <permission method="updateDocOrder" returnXml="false" allowAll="true" />
        <permission method="moveDoc" returnXml="false" allowAll="true" />
</ext>   

Uninstall instructions:

Manually clean up the restExtensions.config. Remove the ext code above

Files being installed:

- treesort dll in bin directory
- treesort ascx usercontrol in /usercontrols/webx/ directory
- left_arrow.png and right_arrow.png in /treesort directory
- treesort datatype

Usage:

Just drop the treesort datatype into any document Type. Prefearably, create a new tab called TreeSort.

On the document you will see a list structure below, showing all children from the current document node

Valid promotion or demotion will show a green box around the new parent node. Invalid will show a red box. Sorting shows a yellow placeholder line to show sort position

Finally:

This is my first package. It was based on an experiment. Let me know what you think and ways to improve it.
