Drag & Drop Rows Between Grids

dnd-phpgrid

You can drag and drop rows between two or more grids using a mouse.

In the demo, we have both orders and employees datagrids on the same page.

$dg = new C_DataGrid("select * from employees", "employeeNumber", "employees");
$dg->enable_edit("FORM", "CRUD");
$dg->display();

We add the following Javascript to enable drag and drop between the two php grids.

The Ondrop event posts the row data to another url “save_dropped_row.php”. You must implement this server side script to handle how you would like the row data to be saved.

<script>
$(function(){

  jQuery("#employees").jqGrid("sortableRows", {});

  jQuery("#orders").jqGrid('gridDnD',{
    connectWith:'#employees',
    drop_opts:{
      hoverClass: "ui-state-active",
    },
    ondrop: function(evt, obj, data){
      $.ajax({
          method: "POST",
          url: "save_dropped_row.php",
          data: data,
        }).done(function( msg ) {
            console.log( "Data Saved: " + msg );
        })
    },

  });  
})
</script>
