This project aims to provide a Views plugin for the user to be able to show a grid composed of draggable elements and save the displayed order of these element.
The user may then create other displays to show the elements in the order defined above.
This project is very similar in its goals to Draggable views, yet a lot simpler as there is no hierarchy management. It doesn't depend on Draggable Views though.
The added value resides in the presentation, a grid rather than a table list, and the therefore possible uses which Draggable Views doesn't permit.
It relies heavily on the Jquery UI sortable and draggable widgets so it requires jquery_update.
Getting started
Install as usual, enable Views (which is probably already done) and Sortable Grid.
Create a new node view.
Choose the Sortable Grid Format.
In the settings, you can choose the row length, which will determine how many items should be displayed before begining a new line in the grid.
Choose the Sortable Grid row style.
Add at least one field in the ‘Fields’ section. An image field is best suited, but any field should do.
This module allows you to upload an image in the menu-item's configuration form and use the image anywhere in your theme. This is useful if you want to display an image - that is related to a menu entry - somewhere in your theme (header, navigation).
