I have 3 separate (with separate class names) items I am dropping into a big div. I need the drop function to run something different depending on which draggble item I drop into the droppable.
Here is my code.
$(".gridster").droppable({
accept: ".dragExist,.dragDefault, .dragLaunch",
hoverClass: "drop-state",
drop: function(event,ui){
var currentId = $(ui.draggable).attr("class");
if(currentId == "dragExist"){
gridster.add_widget.apply(gridster, ['<li>new Widget', 1, 1]);
console.log(event);
event.preventDefault();
}
}
});
If i could get the first if statement to work I would add in the other 2 classes, but I don't seem to be getting this correct. Thank you!!
A simple solution is to add a class suppose 'selected-item' on mousedown event of each draggable element. Then in the drop event you can easily identify the element which was dragged using the 'selected-item' class and at the end remove the class.

I have a list of elements that are sortable and sort fine. I also have a droppable that resides outside of the sortable list. When I drop items on the droppable, it is intended to perform a copy operation, meaning that sorting during this operation is not desirable.
Unfortunately however, dragging a sortable to an external droppable causes sortable.update to fire. Is there a way to have all sortable drag/drop events ignored if a sortable is dragged outside of a given element?
I've gone through all the relevant sortable events, and I can't seem to find any reference to the element the sortable was dropped on, in order to see if they have common parents.
Here's a fiddle to demonstrate: http://jsfiddle.net/6yhbG/
Dragging either sortable 1/2 to the droppable causes the sortable.sort to fire.
OK finally got to the bottom of it: sortable('cancel') needs to be called from sortable.stop and I'm simply adding a class to the sortable so it knows whether to cancel itself or not:
$('div').droppable({
drop: function(e, ui) {
ui.draggable.parent().addClass('dropped');
}
});
$('ul').sortable({
stop: function(){
if ($(this).hasClass('dropped')){
$(this).sortable('cancel');
$(this).removeClass('dropped');
}
}
});
With my updated example at: http://jsfiddle.net/6yhbG/1/
I create a new jQuery element after the mouse is in a down position and before it is released. (After mousedown).
I would like to programmatically trigger dragging on the new element using jQuery UI, so that it will automatically begin dragging with my mouse movement. I don't want to have to release and then click the mouse again.
I have tried the following...
var element = $("<div />");
element.appendTo("body").draggable().trigger("mousedown");
...however this does not work.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?
UPDATE: After some searching the poster of this question has the identical problem. However the suggested solution, which boils down to...
$("body").on("mousedown", function(e) {
$("<div />").draggable().appendTo("body").trigger(e);
});
...no longer works in the latest versions jQuery and jQuery-UI, and instead generates a Maximum Call Stack Exceeded error.
The draggable plugin expects its mousedown events to use its namespace and to point to the draggable object as the target. Modifying these fields in the event works with jQuery 1.8.3 and jQuery UI 1.9.2.
$("body").on("mousedown", function(e) {
var div = $("<div />").draggable().appendTo("body");
e.type = "mousedown.draggable";
e.target = div[0];
div.trigger(e);
});
Demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/maCmB/1/
UPDATE:
See fuzzyBSc's answer below. It's the proper way to do this.
This is totally a hack, but it seems to do the trick:
var myDraggable = $('#mydraggable').draggable();
// Yeah... we're going to hack the widget
var widget = myDraggable.data('ui-draggable');
var clickEvent = null;
myDraggable.click(function(event){
if(!clickEvent){
widget._mouseStart(event);
clickEvent = event;
}
else {
widget._mouseUp(event);
clickEvent = null;
}
});
$(document).mousemove(function(event){
console.log(event);
if(clickEvent){
// We need to set this to our own clickEvent, otherwise
// it won't position correctly.
widget._mouseDownEvent = clickEvent;
widget._mouseMove(event);
}
});
Here's the plunker
My example uses an element that already exists instead of creating one, but it should work similarly.
Create your draggable function on mouseover
$('#futureDragableElement').mouseover(function() {
$(this).draggable();
});
As the draggable initialization has already be done, your first mouse click will be taken into account
You have to bind the mousedown event to the element in question, then you can trigger the event.
From http://api.jquery.com/trigger/
Any event handlers attached with .bind() or one of its shortcut
methods are triggered when the corresponding event occurs. They can be
fired manually, however, with the .trigger() method. A call to
.trigger() executes the handlers in the same order they would be if
the event were triggered naturally by the user:
$('#foo').bind('click', function() {
alert($(this).text());
});
$('#foo').trigger('click');
Hacks are not needed if you are creating the element during the event and that element is not too complicated. You can simply set draggable to the element that mousedown occurs and use draggable helper property to create a helper that is going to be your new element. On dragStop clone the helper to the location in dom you want.
$('body').draggable({
helper: function() {
return '<div>your newly created element being dragged</div>';
},
stop: function (e,ui) {
ui.helper.clone().appendTo('body');
}
});
Of course you would need to set position for the helper, so mouse is on it. This is just a very basic example.
I have an ul of draggable items (#doc-editor-options ul li), an area for dropping those items (#doc-editor-content) and an ul within that area for holding those items (#items-holder), which is sortable. This dragging and dropping is only one-way, only items from the list can be dragged and dropped into the holder.
$("#doc-editor-options ul li").draggable({
helper: 'clone',
connectToSortable: '#item-holder',
containment: $(".doc-editor")
});
$("#doc-editor-content").droppable({
drop: function(e, ui){
console.log('dropped');
}
});
$("#item-holder").sortable({
placeholder: 'placeholder-highlight',
cursor: 'pointer',
});
Two questions that I have:
Right now when I drag an item from the list and drop it into the other list, the drop callback for .droppable() is called twice. I think this has something to do with the #item-holder being sortable. I want it to only be fired when I drop an item into the list and only know about that item's event and ui in the callback.
I also need the functionality where by default, the items-holder is not sortable. The only time it becomes sortable is when you are dragging and hovering an item over it. So I can't sort the list by default, but if I drag an item over to it, I can choose where to place that item in the list (i.e. the list is now sortable) and once I drop it, the list becomes unsortable again.
EDIT: I figured out #2, I needed to bind mousedown to the draggable items which enables sorting then disables it on mouseup. Still having problems with #1, it seems like some of the sortable events are firing the drop callback when I drop an item in or I hover out of the item holder.
1:
Your drop() gets called twice because connectToSortable is also triggering a drop().
My suggestion would be to delete $("#doc-editor-content").droppable() altogether, and instead add the receive(e, ui) handler to your sortable.
2:
Your fix works. However I would suggest a much easier alternative: leave the sortable always enabled and add the option "handle: h2". (Pick any tag that will not exist within your LIs.) This will let you drop into the list, but disable user sorting in-place.
Example:
$('#item-holder').sortable({
placeholder: 'placeholder-highlight',
cursor: 'pointer',
handle: 'h2',
receive: function(e, ui) {
console.log('dropped');
}
});
I am working on drag and drop tool using jQuery UI's sortable widget.
I'd like to add a message into an empty div where something can be dragged into, like: "drag here". I'd like to remove this message as soon as something is in that div. There will be times when the page loads with something already in that div, so it can't be only on action, but onload needs to check it too.
How do I go about it?
Here's my code:
$("#divFrom, #divTo").sortable({
connectWith: '.connectedSortable'
}).disableSelection();
You should be able to set up a draggable, and droppable and tap into droppable's drop event handler, which is fired when an item is dropped:
$("#target").droppable({
drop: function() {
// Empty the droppable div:
$(".message").remove();
}
});
Demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/andrewwhitaker/rUgJF/2/
As for doing something similar on load, if you provided your markup it would make providing a solution a little easier (is there a specific element inside the droppable div that you could check for?)
Hope that helps.
I'm trying to figure out how to write a statement which will stop the jQuery droppable function if the the dragged element is the parent.
Basically what I have is a table, and each cell has the id of x-axis:eq+'-'+y-axis:eq. (x over-x-down).
When the user drags an element to a different cell, I update the info, so if you drag from cell 3-3 to 3-4, I update the data.
However, if the user starts dragging from 3-3, and then stops dragging still within the 3-3 cell, I want to prevent the droppable function from firing.
I've been looking at using the 'accept' function, but can't figure out how to say !jQuery('td#3-3')
Here's what I've got
jQuery('div','table').draggable({axis:'y', containment: 'table'});
var cellId=jQuery(this).parents('td').attr('id');
jQuery('td','table').droppable({
accept : !jQuery('td#'+cellId),
drop: function(){
jQuery.ajax({ update stuff in db});
}
});
try
$('.myselector').droppable({ accept: 'td:not(#' + cellId +')' });
