jQuery Sortable - Select and Drag Multiple List It

问题:

I have a design where I have a list of \"available boxes\", users take boxes by dragging them from the \"available boxes\" list to their \"My Boxes\" list.

Users more often than not take multiple boxes at a time (max 20), once they have finished with the boxes they drag them back to the \"available boxes\" list to return them.

jQuery sortable allows me to drag one box at a time which from a user perspective is undesirable. I\'ve been unable to come up with a simple solution to the issue.

I may have to come up with a different UI method entirely, but first does anyone have any suggestions on how this might be accomplished?

Thanks!

I don\'t have this working using sortable, but I did using draggable & droppable. I don\'t know if I covered all the functionality you need, but it should be a good start (demo here):

HTML

<div class=\"demo\">
    <p>Available Boxes (click to select multiple boxes)</p>    
    <ul id=\"draggable\">
        <li>Box #1</li>
        <li>Box #2</li>
        <li>Box #3</li>
        <li>Box #4</li>
    </ul>

    <p>My Boxes</p>
    <ul id=\"droppable\">
    </ul>

</div>

Script

$(document).ready(function(){

    var selectedClass = \'ui-state-highlight\',
        clickDelay = 600,     // click time (milliseconds)
        lastClick, diffClick; // timestamps

    $(\"#draggable li\")
        // Script to deferentiate a click from a mousedown for drag event
        .bind(\'mousedown mouseup\', function(e){
            if (e.type==\"mousedown\") {
                lastClick = e.timeStamp; // get mousedown time
            } else {
                diffClick = e.timeStamp - lastClick;
                if ( diffClick < clickDelay ) {
                    // add selected class to group draggable objects
                    $(this).toggleClass(selectedClass);
                }
            }
        })
        .draggable({
            revertDuration: 10, // grouped items animate separately, so leave this number low
            containment: \'.demo\',
            start: function(e, ui) {
                ui.helper.addClass(selectedClass);
            },
            stop: function(e, ui) {
                // reset group positions
                $(\'.\' + selectedClass).css({ top:0, left:0 });
            },
            drag: function(e, ui) {
                // set selected group position to main dragged object
                // this works because the position is relative to the starting position
                $(\'.\' + selectedClass).css({
                    top : ui.position.top,
                    left: ui.position.left
                });
            }
        });

    $(\"#droppable, #draggable\")
        .sortable()
        .droppable({
            drop: function(e, ui) {
                $(\'.\' + selectedClass)
                 .appendTo($(this))
                 .add(ui.draggable) // ui.draggable is appended by the script, so add it after
                 .removeClass(selectedClass)
                 .css({ top:0, left:0 });
            }
        });

});

Working Solution

tl;dr: Refer to this Fiddle for a working answer.

---

I looked everywhere for a solution to the issue of dragging multiple selected items from a sortable into a connected sortable, and these answers were the best I could find.

However...

The accepted answer is buggy, and @Shanimal\'s answer is close, but not quite complete. I took @Shanimal\'s code and built on it.

I fixed:

• the disappearing list item bug that @Ryan mentioned,
• cleaned up the syntax errors in the HTML (missing closing tags & nested <li/>s).

I added:

• Proper Ctrl + click (or Cmd + click if on a mac) support for selecting multiple items. Clicking without the Ctrl key held down will cause that item selected, and other items in the same list to be deselected. This is the same click behavior as the jQuery UI Selectable() widget, the difference being that Selectable() has a marquee on mousedrag.

Fiddle

HTML:

<ul>
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
    <li>Three</li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li>Four</li>
    <li>Five</li>
    <li>Six</li>
</ul>

JavaScript (with jQuery and jQuery UI):

$(\"ul\").on(\'click\', \'li\', function (e) {
    if (e.ctrlKey || e.metaKey) {
        $(this).toggleClass(\"selected\");
    } else {
        $(this).addClass(\"selected\").siblings().removeClass(\'selected\');
    }
}).sortable({
    connectWith: \"ul\",
    delay: 150, //Needed to prevent accidental drag when trying to select
    revert: 0,
    helper: function (e, item) {
        var helper = $(\'<li/>\');
        if (!item.hasClass(\'selected\')) {
            item.addClass(\'selected\').siblings().removeClass(\'selected\');
        }
        var elements = item.parent().children(\'.selected\').clone();
        item.data(\'multidrag\', elements).siblings(\'.selected\').remove();
        return helper.append(elements);
    },
    stop: function (e, info) {
        info.item.after(info.item.data(\'multidrag\')).remove();
    }

});

NOTE:

Since I posted this, I implemented something simmilar - connecting draggable list items to a sortable, with multi-select capability. It is set up almost exactly the same, since jQuery UI widgets are so similar. One UI tip is to make sure you have the delay parameter set for the draggables or selectables, so you can click to select multiple items without initiating a drag. Then you construct a helper that looks like all the selected elements put together (make a new element, clone the selected items, and append them), but make sure to leave the original item intact (otherwise it screws up the functionality - I cannot say exactly why, but it involves a lot of frustrating DOM Exceptions).

I also added Shift + Click functionality, so that it functions more like native desktop applications. I might have to start a blog so I can expound on this in greater detail :-)

There\'s a jQuery UI plugin for that: https://github.com/shvetsgroup/jquery.multisortable

jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/neochief/KWeMM/

$(\'ul.sortable\').multisortable();

Aaron Blenkush\'s solution has a major fault: removing and adding items to the sortable list breaks structure; refresh can help, but if other functions process the listing, a trigger for all of them is needed to refresh and it all becomes overly complex.

After analysing some solutions at stackoverflow, I\'ve summarized mine in the following:

Do not use helper - use start function, cause it already has ui.item, which is the helper by default.

    start: function(event, ui){
        // only essential functionality below

        // get your own dragged items, which do not include ui.item;
        // the example shows my custom select which selects the elements
        // with \".selected\" class
        var dragged = ui.item.siblings(arr[\"nested_item\"]).children(\'.tRow.tSelected\').parent(arr[\"nested_item\"]);

        // clone the dragged items
        var dragged_cloned = dragged.clone();

        // add special class for easier pick-up at update part
        dragged_cloned.each(function(){$(this).addClass(\'drag_clone\');});

        // record dragged items as data to the ui.item
        ui.item.data(\'dragged\', dragged);

        // hide dragged from the main list
        dragged.hide();

        // attached cloned items to the ui.item - which is also ui.helper
        dragged_cloned.appendTo(ui.item);
        },

1. On the update part:

   update: function(event, ui){
       // only essential functionality below
   
       // attach dragged items after the ui.item and show them
       ui.item.after(ui.item.data(\"dragged\").show());
   
       // remove cloned items
       ui.item.children(\".drag_clone\").remove();
       },
   

Stop function may need some copy of the update functionality, but is likely to be separate from update, \'cause if no change - do not submit anything to the server.

To add: preserving order of dragged items.
