I don't think at this time e-commerce is 4.7 ready. I think we are currently trying to finish product.module. Also this isn't really just an issue with e-commerce, but with drupal, this might be better suited to be placed under drupal, then e-commerce can then leverage off it.

For anyone looking for a good implementation of this type of code, check this out:

I would agree though that this would be better as an API perhaps, that later e-commerce could incorporate. Adding images to posts with drag and drop, or organizing image galleries would be other extremely useful.

Mmm, I posted that too soon. Using drag and drop for organizing image galleries and dropping images directly into text areas are some other improvements off the top of my head, as to why this would be wonderful as an API any module could use.

Title: Ajax improvement/enrichment » Ajax improvement/enrichment -systemwide API

Drupal systemwide API for drag&drop functions to use by all modules...

-that would be a killer!

I can see lots of potential for image, album, img_assist, media, video (player,playlist), product, ecommerce, articles/content (sorting)

and .. dashboard (imagine 'dashboard' functioned as dashboard of collection of combined customised modules by site developer) and a snipped dashboard where you keep your snippets and activate from there

yes..this gives a sight into what can be done similar with Drupal modules above

-mind you i am not a coder to see coding viablity
just thinking from usability point of view

IMO, this AJAX sugar is completely inappropriate for a t-shirt buying site. people want their shirts, not to figure out your shopping site. AJAX works best when you have regular visitors, performing repetitive tasks. this sugar won't increase sales, but will increase your customer support headaches. this is my preference - others are welcome to their own.

In other contexts, this sugar is wonderful.

Mmm, I hadn't thought of this, but think about AJAX drag + drop for admin >> blocks. Wow. You should put in a general Drupal feature request for this. (I'm not a coder, either)
